Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is defending his police dept after being accused of denying calls to help federal agents surrounded by an angry mob of anti-I.C.E. protestors.
So how does he explain this audio?
Dispatch: “They were saying they were being surrounded by that large crowd, and they were requesting the police we’re not sending, I’m waving off all the cars heading to 39th Place and Kedzie?”
Watch Commander: "Again, those are the orders we’re being given.”
