Chicago police unveil $11M helicopter ahead of the DNC

[@stevensproull9388]

Mayor Johnson will be able to use it to go to his barber...

[@uberdriverx-pv6uc]

*cough* POPEYES *cough*

[@Thefutureooksbight]

Maybe he could try to trim his beard with the prop.

[@chrislynch8914]

Did black business owners make this? If not the mayor will tell them he doesn't want it!

[@Thefutureooksbight]

@@chrislynch8914 to make Aerospace equipment you gotta have a little bit more than DEI.

[@sanesociety-oo2ym]

Either way it is tax dollars.

[@TheGixxersteve]

Maybe now they can catch Sasquatch

[@hkr321hkr]

Fuel alone for 1 trip is more than we all make in a year. Fix the roads, the bridges, help the community, not buy toys.

biden already passed the infrastructure bill

[@hamburglar83]

Nope……we need helicopters. And this was free

[@mikek749]

Not a toy... You have no idea.

[@kevinb6745]

It can’t be that much if news choppers fly around every morning & afternoon to deliver traffic reports

[@_benjaminortega]

It’s time for Chicago to vote red 🔴🔴🔴

[@KingSlybandicoot]

You know our people could use that money.

[@hkr321hkr]

LA California hear we come. 4am swirlly birds over head every night . Millions of dollars for nothing

[@mrerick0363652]

Wow, people are losing their house due to property taxes, and they got $$ to burn

[@raybod1775]

Chicago police need helicopters, drones and more technology… and more police. We have a large lakefront and downtown area that need to be patrolled better as well as the expressways and neighborhoods.

[@tylerplz]

this is using federal grant money specifically allocated for the police

[@chrislynch8914]

​@@tylerplzit's still taxpayer money!

[@mrerick0363652]

@tb1690 How about using it towards there Pension. That's the reason our property taxes are high but I see you just like giving the tax payer $$ away.

@@mrerick0363652 its high because you keep voting for democrats because you get emotional

[@l.b.7543]

I thought the city was broke 💵

[@overdalimit]

Obviously you failed to HEAR that the City of Chicago did not pay for this.. Homeland Security did.

[@borgie-c6p]

@@overdalimit taxpayer dollars :(

[@carmenzamastil1545]

You mean Tax Payers money

[@l.b.7543]

You will never see it in the south side or in the shit hole neighborhoods

[@Fastlanejg]

they had that for about 2 months now just new to public

[@Thefutureooksbight]

Yeah, the police could work harder and faster so the judges can release these criminals out of court within 1/2 hour their arrest

[@ropo772]

MAYBE IF THEY FLY IT AROUND WITH THAT BIG SPOT LIGHT ON , IT MIGHT MAKE CRIMINALS THINK DIFFERENTLY.

[@T.S.000]

There’s no more criminals in Chicago anymore. That’s why the cops & D.A. don’t arrest/prosecute anyone anymore.

[@mr.emaaejae6058]

Not really. They've been doing that on the Southside in Englewood over and around South Halsted street, but the criminals are still going strong. 😡

[@T.S.000]

Criminals know that Auntie Kimmy Foxx won't prosecute them, so who cares?

[@bl4558]

Blue Thunder.

[@jackiecellchan]

gg Illinois you payed that with your taxes

[@robertcooper6853]

At least it isn’t Blue Thunder….

[@seamac7564]

Priorities...as Progressive District Attorneys and Judges release serial offenders back into the public....

[@jrdajuiceman754]

Well yea.. the rest of the city funding and tax dollars goes to the Venezuelans at the shelters and mayor’s cosmetics

[@jbzieg9677]

Nice color….gonna get lost in the sky. News copters won’t see it…accident waiting to happen.

[@raybod1775]

There are these things called air traffic control and radar.

[@superhumanhumansuper8706]

$11M ? 😂😂😂

[@juelz713]

This is to much for a helicopter

[@mr.emaaejae6058]

Great morning: As long as those machines are utilized intelligently, at least four of them would be good supplemental tools, aids in addition to the squad rolls.

[@JeepWrangler1957]

What happens when weather is bad and it cannot fly? Are officers reassigned?

[@diolatedpplz745]

No one in custody....area detectives still investing 😂😂😂

[@DougSchuyler]

Used to catch car jackers and other criminals?! Ha! Good one!

[@A3Kr0n]

This is what a police state looks like.

i like your religious symbol

[@Truth_teller2323]

He smart person police state they are defunded 😂

[@Truth_teller2323]

This is where your taxes goes Chicago how would yall say it yall goofies 😂

[@Anonymous-pm7jf]

[@klaromio]

I guess Chicago does have money 😂😂😂. Could've fooled me ...SIKE 😂and 😂😂 and 😂😂😂

[@x-force7961]

💙💙💙💙💙

[@brianwells4507]

Anyone remember the State of Illinois owned helicopter that was retired? It was sold to a helicopter charter company in California, and Coby Bryant was killed in it!

[@crazzylongears8835]
