The Fraternal Order of Police in Chicago issued a unanimous vote of no confidence for Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the heads of the department.
The Wednesday vote was the result of a “lack of respect for Gold Star families” and the cancellation of the St. Jude Parade, which is meant to honor the officers who have died in the line of duty, Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara said in a video update.
He called the decision to cancel the event for the second year in a row a “slap in the face to every department member” and offered an alternative plan to officials, but it was rejected, he said.
