CHICAGO â Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Chicago police Superintendent David Brown led a response to protests and looting last spring plagued by âconfusion and lack of coordinationâ that risked the safety of both police and citizens, the cityâs watchdog found in a report released Thursday. Inspector General Joseph Fergusonâs lengthy findings listed a litany of shortcomings and inconsistencies at the Chicago Police Departmentâs command level that manifested themselves in chaos on the street. Police brass lacked plans for mass arrests, leading to people facing charges that were either too serious or too light, the report states. One sergeant said his cops stopped making looting arrests because it was taking too long for transport vehicles to arrive.
