But not 8 deputy mayors making $190K or the 7 assistant deputy mayors making $150K. Ask yourselves why is he so committed to maintaining the bloated patronage system at the expense of working Chicagoans? We need DOGE!!!

Arizona: A man is dead and an officer is injured after a shooting near Rural and Baseline roads Friday night.

Police say the incident began when an officer recognized a man at a Circle K who had a felony warrant for drug sales. The man left the area in a vehicle before getting out and running away from officers on foot.

When officers got out of their vehicle, police say the man shot at the officers, hitting one in the leg. That is when officers returned fire, shooting and killing the man.

The officer was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Tempe police said Saturday the officer is recovering after a successful surgery.

All the officers were injured while on duty in incidents spanning almost every county in Northern Ireland.

One of the incidents involved a deliberate patrol ramming in a week where police revealed 58 officers had been injured in similar incidents throughout the year.

Superintendent Rosie Thompson said: “Between Friday evening, December 13 and Saturday morning, December 14 the officers were injured while on duty – some of whom sustained serious injuries that required medical treatment.

Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for their recovery. 🙏🏽
