Watch as Mayor Brandon Johnson completely contradicts himself. When explaining how he'd react to President Donald J. Trump sending the National Guard to Chicago, he describes Guardsman as "soldiers," untrained in the art of policing. Yet, being the irredeemable hypocrite he is, Johnson then bemoaned the removal of federal... show more

Today, Mayor Brandon Johnson praised Community Violence Interrupters (CVIs) as "incredible workers." The mayor is clueless. For Chicagoans who are unaware, CVIs are ex-gang members who dress in colored vests and return to the streets where they resume gang activity. CVIs are paid with federal, state and city money grant money, up to $500 a week, to sling dope, sell guns, and pursue gang vendettas. CVIs also routinely interfere with CPD as they attempt to bring criminals to justice. In some cases, they obstruct CPD as they conduct investigations. Violence interrupters are another idiotic progressive idea, and because the progressives run this city, the City of Chicago is now subsidizing gang violence on our streets.

We have to hand it to Mayor Brandon Johnson. He really is something else. Asked about strategies to prevent gang retaliation after four mass shootings, the mayor said he met with Community Violence Interrupters (CVIs.) The mayor is admitting he met directly with gang members.

This video has been making the rounds, but we have a perspective with which all Chicago should be aware. Last week, Mayor Brandon Johnson was praising the work of Community Violence Interrupters (CVIs). While venerating CVIs, the mayor said CVIs "put their lives on the line." Johnson is lying through his teeth, and this video perfectly captures exactly what violence interrupters do. In Austin, CPD arrested a man with a gun, which had an extended mag. Extended mags are illegal. The video captures two men, both of whom are wearing colored (green and yellow) vests. Both men are "violence interrupters." This video shows one CVI in the green vest confronting CPD as they arrest a gun offender. The CVI is defending the criminal and arguing with CPD as they carry out their duties. This is typical behavior from CVIs. Though CVIs are supposed to assist police, CVIs routinely harass and obstruct Police as they attempt to remove criminal offenders from the streets. CVIs are also known to tip off gang members and criminals sought by CPD. Worse, CVIs are paid through tens of millions in grant money (tax dollars) to obstruct CPD. CVIs do nothing to improve conditions on the streets. On the contrary, CVIs work to protect criminal offenders who are spreading mayhem in Chicago neighborhoods. Violence prevention programs are a scam, and our tax dollars are paying them to obstruct CPD.

As if on cue, one week after a grim Father's Day weekend death toll, WTTW has a glowing story on community violence interrupters (CVIs). Tens of millions in state, county and city tax dollars go to fund violence intervention non-profits. Listen to a CVI describe the relationship with CPD: "We get information from the police, but we don't give information to the police." And why would CVIs not cooperate with CPD? Because CVIs are gang members protecting gang members who have committed violent crimes.

We're willing to wager WGN was in on this ploy. We all know Mayor Brandon Johnson is transparent phony, but this staged stunt steals the show. At a town hall hosted by WGN, a community violence interrupter (CVI) just so happened to make it into the audience to ask the mayor about funding for CVI programs. Johnson then went on the offer fulsome praise for violence interrupters. Violence interrupters and peacekeepers are worthless, and most are "justice-impacted individuals" who are paid tax dollars only to return to the streets where they resume gang activity, sling dope, sell guns, or exact revenge on rivals. Johnson, however, is gullible enough to believe in CVIs.

Mayor Brandon Johnson is having a fit because President Trump says he’ll deploy the National Guard to Chicago to save it like he did DC. Johnson says crime is down. He rightly has the worst approval of any US mayor ever. Chicago residents say, “We welcome the National Guard.”

Asked on MSNBC how will respond to President Donald J. Trump asserting the National Guard will be deployed to other states, Mayor Brandon Johnson said: "The community coming together to push back in a very dramatic way." Johnson knows exactly what he is doing. The mayor is calling for his progressive allies to stage mass protests in the streets. Johnson is inciting mass protests and violence.

Are these young men headed to one of Mayor Brandon Johnson's summer jobs or are they community violence interrupters? The assault rifle suggests they are CVIs.

Contrarian has been sharply critical of Community Violence Intervention (CVI) programs because we believe them to be scams. These anti-violence programs are completely fraudulent. These groups receive nearly $100M in grant money (our tax dollars) from the federal, state, county and city governments and they do nothing to reduce violence. In many cases, the "anti-violence workers" deal drugs, drink alcohol, do drugs with gang members or sell weapons to gang members while they are "at work." Our tax dollars are paying ex-gang members to return to gang life under the guise of "peacekeeping." In the video below on the left, an anti-violence worker admits his organization does not cooperate with CPD. The reason these anti-violence street workers refuse to cooperate with Police is because the outreach workers are protecting criminals from prosecution. In the video on the right, Teny Gross of the Institute for Nonviolence Chicago explains how his organization is "on the front lines" addressing street violence. They are not on the front lines. In one instance in April, after a shooting incident outside the Institute for Nonviolence Chicago, CPD officials investigating the incident approached Gross and his associates for assistance. Gross and his colleagues refused to cooperate with CPD and simply walked away. These outreach workers (peacekeepers, violence interrupters or FLIP workers) rarely show up at crime scenes and when they do bother to turn out, they make every effort to thwart police or interfere with CPD investigations. CVIs are a grift.

NOW: Chicago’s FAILED Mayor Brandon Johnson says the city’s violence epidemic has NOTHING to do with illegals...blaming the bloodshed on “too many guns.” Instead of taking responsibility, he told Trump to “do his job” and stop the trafficking of guns into Chicago. This is about to go nuclear.

🇺🇸 CHICAGO MAYOR SHOUTS “NO TROOPS!” AFTER 50+ SHOT OVER VIOLENT WEEKEND Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson led a protest yelling “No troops in Chicago!” just hours after mass shootings. Over 50 people were shot during Labor Day weekend, but Johnson still rejected Trump’s plan to send the Guard. Trump says the National Guard is needed to stop rising violence, but Johnson says military force is not the answer. Instead of backing Trump’s crackdown, Johnson marched with protesters calling for community solutions instead of soldiers. Critics say he's ignoring the city's chaos, while supporters argue the Guard would only make things worse. Source: Eric Daugherty, Julio Rosas

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson dismissed the immolation of a woman on a Chicago subway car as an "isolated incident" and thinks that gunshot detection technology is racist. Donald Trump, unlike any other president, denounces individual violence such as the Chicago subway burning; Trump refuses to accept the crime status quo. Who cares more about cities?
