Chicago's Lori Lightfoot slammed over crime pivot following ousting: 'Too little too late'

Retired Chicago police lieutenant John Garrido slammed outgoing Mayor Lori Lightfoot for her pivot on violent crime, warning the shift is 'too little too late.'

at the African American Mayors Association Conference in Washington, D.C., on Friday, Lightfoot called on Democratic mayors to address the growing crime in their cities.

"I come to this conversation as a former federal prosecutor. I come to this as a former defense attorney, I am the sister of a returning resident," Lightfoot continued."But I know that there are people in my city that are wreaking havoc every day and need to be off the streets. That’s reality."
