Chicago mayor calls for a new police foot pursuit policy
CNN
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is calling for her city's police department to put a new policy in place for foot pursuits after a 13-year-old boy was shot and killed by police last week.
"I refuse to treat this as just business as usual," the mayor said during a news conference Monday. Lightfoot said that a police foot pursuit had led to the deadly shooting and directed the new policy to be implemented by the summer. She did not specify what the policy would include, but said the police department will use focus groups, including officers and community members, in its reform effort.More Related News
