A Chicago alderman said that city officials do not give enough support to police, following the fatal shooting of Chicago officer Ella French. When I talk to police officers on the street, I hear repeatedly they feel that leadership in the city, people in the city, do not support them." CHICAGO ALDERMAN WARNS CRIME SPREADING INTO SUBURBS: 'FLOODGATES' OPENED AS CRIMINALS GO UNPUNISHEDThe comments came after French, 29, was shot and killed on Saturday night during a traffic stop. "In a time of tragedy, emotions run high and that is to be expected," the mayor’s office told Fox News of the incident. Another Chicago alderman, Anthony Napolitano, warned earlier this summer that the crime is now also seeping into the suburbs, and blamed an anti-cop agenda in the city for the rise in crime.
