Murder City Mayor: Law Enforcement is a ‘Sickness’ He Intends to ‘Eradicate’

Tough words spewed from America’s least popular mayor Tuesday. Murder City’s Brandon Johnson declared that law enforcement is “a sickness” that he intends to “eradicate.” The fiery, but mostly peaceful press conference also saw the feckless mayor demand and end to jails and incarceration for those who can’t manage to follow society’s laws and norms.

Johnson, with a single-digit approval rating at one point in his term, has found himself under a lot of pressure to do something to reduce the Second City’s rampant violent crime problem.

The alternative? Well one alternative is to have President Donald J. Trump do it for him. That, however, would be an admission of defeat he couldn’t stand politically.

Does Mayor Brandon Johnson actually believes the pro-criminal, anti-law-and-order tripe he peddles? Apparently. He let the mask slip and blow completely away as he bad-mouthed not only his city’s police but essentially demanded an end to the criminal justice system in the massive open-air shooting gallery he ostensibly runs.

Nevermind that he conveniently believes in law enforcement enough that to have about 150 of Chicago’s finest working in his personal protection detail. There’s no word yet as to when he’s going to disband that team in the name of “eradicating” the “sickness” that is modern law enforcement.

CWB Chicago has more . . .

“Jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness that has not led to safe communities,” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson declared during a fiery press conference Tuesday, adding that he intends to “eradicate” that sickness.

Johnson made the remarks after a reporter asked him about his administration’s public safety plan. During his diatribe, the mayor cited four years of Chicago murder data, beginning with the city’s record-setting 970 killings in 1974. He noted there were 828 murders in 1995, 778 in 2016, and 805 in 2021.

“This has been a problem in this city for a very long time,” Johnson said, claiming the city is seeing improvement due to his initiatives. Now, the mayor claimed, President Donald Trump “wants to put his name on our paper” and take credit for the latest downtrend.

But Johnson chose outlier years to bolster his point, including the city’s worst year on record, while overlooking the longer trend of steady decline. Between 2004 and 2013, Chicago never recorded more than 513 killings in a year, and most years stayed under 450, according to official records. In 2015, the city had 493 murders, well below the 778 he cited for 2016. And the 2021 total occurred during the pandemic crime surge.

To be sure, 2025’s murder count is on pace to show marked improvement. But the city’s long-term decline came during the very period Johnson described as plagued by a “sickness” of arrests and incarceration.

“We’re offering a better pathway so we don’t have 970 people murdered in our city every single year,” Johnson said, despite the fact that Chicago has not approached that figure in decades and has never tied or exceeded it.

“I get so sick and tired of people believing that the only thing that Black and Brown and poor people get to get in this city are badges,” he continued. “No. It’s a sickness and we’re gonna eradicate it.”

If you have extra life energy and want to listen to Hizonner’s screed first-hand, here you go. Start at around the 34 minute mark.

  1. The libertarians say the same thing. Tom Woods and others have supported defunding the police. While at the same time they don’t support private citizens organizations, or individuals, acting as neighborhood law enforcement.

    1. Dude,

      “Double down”????? The last Republican mayor of Chicago was in 1931. Chicago voters have been doubling down on stupid for nearly 100 years, DESPITE seeing daily proof of how corrupt, venal, and ineffective the Chicago Dimocrat regime has been.

      Maybe it’s something in the water.

  2. His performance has been on par with other Chicago teachers. Remind me, what’s their graduation rate? Literacy rate? Dropout rate?

  3. The article criticizes Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for his anti-law-enforcement rhetoric while conveniently ignoring his own excessive use of police for his personal detail. Its hypocrisy at its worst, and the mayors plan to eradicate law enforcement seems dangerously misguided given the citys history of violence.

  4. Federal Officers Bust Operator of Antifa Safe House in Portland.

    “Portland Antifa militants got a personal message from federal officers about how this whole designated-terrorist-organization thing is going to work. On Thursday night of this week, federal protective officers paid a visit to an Antifa safe house in the West Coast, Messed Coast™ city of Portland, Ore. This feel-good story leads this week’s West Coast, Messed Coast™ report.
    …”
    Since at least July, Antifa has been using an apartment across from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) headquarters in Portland, Ore., as a bathroom, refreshment stand, and place of respite. The apartment has also been used as a dressing room for Antifa to don their uniforms before picking up their placards and signs to disturb the peace and launch their fireworks and other weapons against the ICE facility. In other words, this is a safe house for criminals.

    On Thursday night, outside the ICE facility, the feds arrested the man who provided the safe house.

  5. The Spear Finally Thrust Forward: Conservatives Fighting Back.

    “For decades, conservatives have taken the blows, been called every slur in the book, watched institutions slip away, and too often answered insult with silence.

    That era is ending.

    Across the country, from school board meetings to Senate chambers, conservatives are finally speaking back, and they’re the tip of the spear.

    The Barrington Boys

    A group of high school boys did something extraordinary; in Barrington, Rhode Island, the boys walked into a school board meeting to protest a teacher who had celebrated Charlie Kirk’s assassination online.

    This moment was remarkable because the people involved were high school students, not seasoned politicians or pundits; it was teens who refused to stay quiet. Those students generated a unified front that demanded accountability, showing more courage in ten minutes than most adults manage in decades.

    This event is what the new conservative spear looks like: ordinary voices beginning to break through the leftist screen, calmly saying the emperor has no clothes.

    “The governor of Illinois has lost billions of dollars on funding illegal aliens, violent crime is rampant in Chicago, the state is overburdened with the number of illegal aliens it has brought in, and an illegal alien criminal nearly killed an ICE agent in Chicago last week. But Pritzker decided his next move should be blatantly lying about ICE and the crisis in his state.

    The narrative that Hanson has blown up is the way in which the alleged Charlie Kirk assassin has been described, and how it’s devolved in seven stages, which are:

    1: “No motive”
    2: “The gun did it”
    3: “The assassin was MAGA”
    4: “Both sides”
    5: “Trump did it”
    6: “A love story”
    7: He kinda, sorta deserved it”

  10. Secret Service Detain Armed Man Entering Site of Charlie Kirk Memorial Service.

    “Charlie Kirk’s memorial service will be held on Sunday at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and other top activists and commentators will be attending. It will be a high-security event, and one armed man was arrested entering the site while trying to pass himself off as law enforcement. …

    The man had at least one gun and one knife when he was stopped, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the matter, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. He also presented “inactive law enforcement credentials” and told Secret Service agents he was at the site to provide private security, the official said.

Another thing they’re suppose to do is pose as ‘members of the right wing’, and/or law enforcement and/or military to gain access to events to conduct mass-shootings and killings against as many innocent people as possible especially when women and children are present and to include woman and children.]

  11. Antifa Panic that Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Backfired on Them.

    “In a rare after-action report about the fallout, an Oregon Antifa group weighs in on their surprise at the unity and scale of the backlash.

    In their own words, they admit fearing the loss of their long-standing ability to mark conservatives for death without much resistance. They point out that for the first time, even apolitical groups, institutions, and businesses feel safe expressing sympathy to Kirk’s family and supporters. Compounding their panic, numerous people have already been fired after celebrating the assassination online. Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show has been pulled off the air by Nexstar after he attempted to mislead the public by falsely suggesting the assassin was ‘MAGA.’

    The report also acknowledges that Antifa’s recent attacks on Sean Feucht’s Christian worship events have backfired badly. Cameras captured masked militants assaulting families and children — images that damaged Antifa’s carefully crafted narrative. The group admits these events, combined with the Kirk assassination, risk ‘galvanizing otherwise politically inactive conservatives.’ They are desperate to prevent that.

    To counter a cultural shift away from their dehumanization tactics — now deeply mainstreamed on the left — Antifa recommend dividing the right against itself. …

  12. Left winger enacts psychological and emotional violence: Lawsuit Can Proceed Against School District that Socially Transitioned Child and Hid It From Parents

    [note: basically, in plain language: The school counselor over a period of two school years convinced this child they had mental health issues and that it was cause she was really a ‘he’. The counselor though deceived the parents and cited possible mental health issues to them deceptively leading them to trust the counselor on this ‘mental health’ finding. But in secret the counselor used her position of ‘trust’ with the child to make her believe she had mental health issues and needed to be a ‘he’ to solve the problem so ‘socially transitioned’ the child at school while keeping it a secret from the parents and telling the child not to tell her parents. The parents discovered this by accident, and now can sue the school district. — this type of technique is common among left-wing adherents to ‘gender ideology’, they take a minor or ‘agnst’ problem and over time break down the child’s resistance by re-defining it into a ‘mental health’ thing that can only be solved by being an opposite gender and then they will be happy and their problems will go away, all the while separating them ’emotionally and psychologically’ from their parents.]
