Father of badly wounded Chicago cop rips Mayor Lightfoot: She 'compromised' his safety | Fox News: The father of a Chicago police officer seriously injured in a shootout earlier this month that killed Officer Ella French slammed Mayor Lori Lightfoot Friday for policies he says have endangered law enforcement. Carlos Yanez Sr., a retired police officer from the city, told "Fox & Friends" his son Carlos Yanez Jr. would complain about catching the same offender with a gun twice in one week, unable to understand how the suspect could have been released. "My son had made it clear to me and other officers that over the past few months, how they were being diminished in their ability to do their jobs," Yanez Sr. said. "Not only effectively to perform it in matters of regular procedures, but compromising their safety."
