The head of the Chicago police union has requested assistance from the U.S. Department of Justice after a controversial city prosecutor whose campaign was funded in part by billionaire Leftist George Soros has refused to prosecute tens of thousands of felonies.
In a letter, Chicago Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara called on U.S. Attorney John R. Lausch Jr. to file federal charges against scores of people arrested for looting and causing damage during recent riots.
Catanzara also criticized Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx over her failure to prosecute more than 25,000 felony cases, including some murder charges.
The FOP chief also said that Chicago PD officers have been embattled and on the front lines of the continued unrest since May, following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
“Our members were subject to threats both verbally and physically, were battered with all types of bricks and rocks and stood the line to help protect the citizens and their property,” he wrote.
