Critics of Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Police Supt. David Brown on Thursday agreed with the findings of a new report that says the police department was “outflanked” and “underprepared” for last summer’s riots with one alderman saying Brown should be fired.
Some aldermen also said the mayor should have asked for help from the National Guard earlier and used those troops to protect businesses from looting in the city’s neighborhoods. They want hearings into the failures detailed in Inspector General Joe Ferguson’s report.
That report says the mayor and superintendent didn’t anticipate the level of violence and looting that swept downtown and cascaded into the city’s neighborhoods from May 29 through June 1.
