Remember: DEMOCRATS defunded & demoralized the police
LORI LIGHTFOOT'S CONSTITUENTS IN ACTION
Lori Lightfoot's emasculated Chicago Police responded to a knock-down, drag-out, table and chair-tossing, full-on brawl Saturday night inside Dinner and a Movie, the beleaguered restaurant and bar at 2500 North Ashland in Lincoln Park.
Video posted to Facebook shows men and women hurling chairs and tables during the fight around 10:45 p.m. Witnesses told officers that one man displayed a gun before Chicago police belatedly arrived.
“I called [police] 30 minutes before. They said it was a shift change,” Rashad Bailey, the restaurant’s owner, said. There were four security guards on duty Saturday night, he said.
“What am I supposed to do? I sell catfish and Casamigos. I’m supposed to give them a background check before they come in for waffles?”
Saturday’s brawl could not have come at a worse time for Bailey. He’s scheduled to appear in front of Lori Lightfoot’s License Disciplinary Committee next Monday, April 4th. Dinner and a Movie’s license to operate hangs in the balance at the hearing, which follows a series of complaints from neighbors and failed efforts to reign in alleged problems with the business.
Claiming “the Chicago Police Department refuses to show up in a timely manner,” Bailey said he recently offered to pay the city to post an on-duty police unit outside Dinner and a Movie during peak hours. They turned him down, he said.
“They’re being reactive. Everywhere I look, I’m under attack,” he continued. “The structural racism I’m dealing with is if you need police at your business, then the business is the problem".
Convinced that CPD is — at the very least — not supportive of his business, Bailey said he has been wrestling with the idea of starting his own security company.
“A business owner is trying to build his own security firm. I sell catfish and waffles. That’s crazy.”
Bailey said the cost of security “is financially killing me, and nothing’s happening. You made $1,500 and gave $400 to security. You can’t run a business like that.”
Bailey wondered, “If they got such a problem with my black ass, cut me a check and let me go.”
