Chicago police "were not consulted" and "did not provide an opinion" on Donald Trump's decision to cancel a rally in Chicago, the department said Friday night. The department made clear to the Trump campaign that "we were confident we had the proper amount of resources dedicated to the event," interim Supt. of Police John Escalante said in a news conference.
Escalante said 200 Chicago police officers were initially deployed to the event and an additional 100 were sent as a precaution upon word that the rally might be canceled. He said the police were "taken by surprise" at the decision to cancel, particularly since his officers told the campaign they could "could guarantee safe access and exit to Mr. Trump." Once the rally was called off, Escalante said, "several scuffles had broken out inside the pavilion." Two people were arrested by the Chicago police, two by University of Illinois at Chicago officers, and one by state police. Escalante said two officers were injured, including one who was struck in the head with a bottle, suffering a cut that required stitches. "It's unfortunate that parties on both sides allowed their political views to become confrontational," he said. Poster Comment: Geez, what in the world is going on in our country?

What is going on here? Either Trump or the police are lying big time. Absurdist bullshit is going on. Trump said he consulted with law enforcement. He did not say he consulted with the Chicago PD. Trump's security is provided by the Secret Service.
[Trump] "And we made a decision, even though our freedom of speech was violated totally. We made a decision not to go forward. I don't want to see anyone get hurt. You would have had some people possibly getting hurt or beyond. So I made the decision, in conjunction with law enforcement."

Sumtymes, you split hairs that only a bullshitter like Trump can manifest. You have completely been assimilated into the same form of chameleon bullshitter as Trump.
Replies to Comment # 23. Sumtymes, you split hairs that only a bullshitter like Trump can manifest. Trump is not a liar for saying he consulted with law enforcement because your favorite liberal rag reports that the Chicago PD whined that they were not consulted. The Secret Service does not rely on the local police to make a decision. The claim that Trump must have lied because he did not consult with CPD is unfounded. The notion that Trump or the Secret Service would have sought and been influenced by the opinion of a CPD spokeshole is laughable. The Secret Service would have their own on-site presence. They are the ones who volunteer to take a bullet.
