BREAKING: Mayor Brandon Johnson ends the use of ShotSpotter in Chicago. ShotSpotter is a high-tech system that alerts and directs cops when gunshots are fired in Chicago. Critics say it targets minorities. The contract expires on Friday, but Mayor Johnson is keeping it until after the DNC Convention in the summer.

Apostle Sandie Norman says as a pastor she can’t stay silent anymore about these so-called CVI programs receiving millions in funding while communities are still suffering. And she asked a serious question: How many pastors in Chicago are actually outside in the streets every day doing the work? Can the city even name 10? That’s the same position Chicago Flips Red has taken. We’re tired of press conferences, slogans, and politically connected nonprofits getting rich while violence, poverty, addiction, homelessness, and abandoned neighborhoods continue. If billions have been spent on “violence prevention,” where are the measurable results? Who got the contracts? Who got the grants? Who’s connected politically? Who’s auditing the money? Chicago Flips Red will be following the money. #ChicagoFlipsRed

Over the past decade, taxpayers and private donors have spent around $1 billion on community violence intervention (CVI) programs in Chicago, according to an analysis by The Free Press’s Olivia Reingold. At City Hall, Alderman Silvana Tabares called CVI a “scam,” arguing that nonprofits are lobbying legislators to expand violence intervention as an alternative to law enforcement. “The biggest lobby in Chicago is not big business,” Tabares said. “It’s the nonprofits—and they’re using the blood flowing in the streets to demand funding with no strings attached. There is no accountability for how this money is being spent. None.” While the mayor supports CVI, a member of his own public safety team described it as a “revolving door” for gang members. “Some of the people being paid through these programs are still committing crimes,” the official said. “It’s a huge problem.”

The running tally for weekend violence in Chicago is staggering: 3 deaths, 38 shot, 15 of whom were injured in a mass shooting. Despite the bloodbath, Mayor Brandon Johnson today announced his reelection function, and JB Pritzker was gulping Malört at a Chicago bar. Johnson and Pritzker don't give a damn.

Chicago mayor is blaming Trump and racism for the crime happening in Chicago. Is this guy delusional? Brandon Johnson needs to stop making excuses and start taking responsibility for the city he was elected to lead. Young people are dying, families are suffering, and violence continues to destroy Chicago communities while he points fingers at everyone except himself. He needs to look in the mirror, crack down on crime, and do his job.

🚨 45 PEOPLE SHOT OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND IN CHICAGO. 8 PEOPLE DEAD. Where are the hashtags? Where are the protests? Where are the national headlines? Black-on-Black killing? CVI money. Police killing? Protests, lawsuits, settlements, nonprofits, fundraising and hashtags. The tragedy happens. The hashtag trends. The money moves. The cameras leave. And another Black family is still burying somebody. THE “HASHTAG PACKAGE.” — Zoe Leigh, The Breakfast Club | August 2, 2024 #ChicagoFlipsRed #TheHashTagPackage

Forty people were shot in Chicago over the weekend and a teenager hit five cops with his car. This is all a choice from the idiot mayor and idiot governor. Let President Trump end the violence. Chicago deserves much better.

Multiple Police Officers attacked and badly injured. 300 people rioting, 6 victims shot, one critical and one DEAD. In the meantime, Governor Pritzker and the Low IQ Mayor of Chicago are refusing Federal Government help for a situation that could be quickly remedied. The people are chanting, BRING IN TRUMP!!!"

🚨 CHICAGO FLIPS RED: THIS IS WHY BRANDON JOHNSON HAS TO GO Chicago Flips Red watched Michael Young-Bey, his wife, and his daughter — a Chicago Public Schools student — go to City Hall countless times while their family was HOMELESS, begging their city government for help. They weren’t asking for political favors. They were asking for somewhere to live. We watched Michael stand before city officials again and again explaining that his family was homeless and needed assistance. Mayor Brandon Johnson proudly talks about being a former CPS teacher. Yet a homeless CPS student and her parents were repeatedly showing up at the very City Hall he runs asking for help — and this administration failed to get that family housed. Meanwhile, his administration made the migrant response a major priority, spending millions of taxpayer dollars on shelters, food and other services — including millions connected to 14 Parish’s migrant-meal contract. And what makes this even harder to watch? Black Chicago saw this family asking for help. Pastors saw it. Community leaders saw it. Black men in our communities saw it. And far too many did NOTHING. Now election season is coming, and suddenly everybody wants to organize, hold meetings and talk about protecting political power. WHERE WAS THAT ORGANIZING WHEN A BLACK FAMILY WITH A CPS STUDENT WAS HOMELESS AND BEGGING CITY HALL FOR HELP? That’s why voting Brandon Johnson out cannot be about Republican versus Democrat. Union workers. Homeowners. Renters. Parents. Seniors. Teachers. Police families. Small-business owners. THE WHOLE CITY HAS TO SHOW UP. And union members need to remember: YOU ARE THE UNION. You don’t have to vote the way union leadership tells you. If you believe Brandon Johnson failed Chicago families like the Young-Beys, 2027 is your opportunity to hold him accountable at the ballot box. Chicago watched. Chicago remembers. AND CHICAGO CAN VOTE HIM OUT. 🇺🇸 CHICAGO FLIPS RED Common Sense for Chicago 📍 DECEMBER 11, 2024 — MICHAEL YOUNG-BEY STOOD BEFORE MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON AT CHICAGO CITY COUNCIL. #ChicagoFlipsRed

Got to love how Brandon Johnson uses the biased machinery of Chicago media to his advantage. Yesterday, Heather Cherone gave Mayor Brandon Johnson a handy assist to state his case against ShotSpotter. Johnson opened his press conference by citing and praising left wing UChicago Justice Project’s report that claimed police response time on South and West Sides improved after ShotSpotter was disconnected. Right on cue, Heather Cherone asked Johnson his reaction to the report at his press conference, allowing Johnson to compliment UChicago Justice Project and, of course, thank Cherone her coverage of the story. Maybe Cherone should ask Johnson why Chicago spends $30M on the Mayor’s 150-man police officer detail, three times what was spent on ShotSpotter.

While 18 year-old Loyola freshman Sheridan Gorman was being laid to rest Saturday, this is what Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson was doing: Johnson said, "Here in the city of Chicago we believe in protecting every single person in this city." Well, that clearly did not apply to Sheridan Gorman, who was shot in the back and killed by murder suspect Jose Medina, an illegal alien from Venezuela who twice was released - once by the Biden Administration and once by the Cook County courts. Johnson said we have to protect illegal immigrants - like the one who killed Sheridan. #thatreporter

VP of Chicago Flips Red and 2027 Chicago mayoral candidate Danielle Carter-Walters: “We don’t know if we’ll be able to stay in our homes because of this ugly, hideous center. Chicago residents keep hearing about the $10, 99-year lease but let’s also talk about the 3,000-square-foot top-floor condo with sweeping panoramic views. We’re housing the Obamas at taxpayers’ expense. And for what? Barack Obama only lived in this city for four years. He isn’t a Chicagoan.” This is what Chicago residents are saying across the city. While political insiders and celebrities celebrate the Obama Presidential Center, many longtime residents are asking who is really benefiting and who is being pushed out. Chicago Flips Red will continue to monitor the situation. #Chicagoflipsred

WATCH: Illinois state Rep. Curtis Tarver delivers a stunning rebuke of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson at a special hearing earlier today, responding to Chicago Public Schools board member Michilla Blaise’s demand for more money from Springfield. Blaise was appointed by Johnson and backed by the Chicago Teachers Union. “The mayor came in and blamed everyone before him. Said he was essentially somebody’s savior. And that there was a mandate from the city of Chicago to do certain things. He forgot that he won 17% to 16% because only a third of the city voted. There was no mandate.”

WATCH: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson lets it slip that he is the only big city mayor in the country who presides directly over City Council. “Chicago is unique in that the mayor, the executive, presides over the legislative branch,” Johnson said. “Don’t get any ideas you all. It’s working well for me.” I believe this is the first time a Chicago mayor has acknowledged this freakish governance structure in public. Chicago’s mayor is also the only big city mayor in the country who directly fills City Council vacancies. Chicago City Council should elect its own president to preside over the legislative branch. And get the mayor out of council appointments. These governance rules typically live in a city charter. But Chicago is the only major city in the country without a charter. So these rules live in state law.
