"Look, we're all adults here," scoffed Eddie Johnson at a press conference where he blasted the president's attacks on the city.
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson scoffed Monday at President Donald Trump’s repeated tale about meeting a “powerful, strong-looking” cop on a motorcycle in Chicago who could clean up the city’s crime in a single day.
“That person doesn’t exist,” Johnson said when a reporter asked about Trump’s story after the president’s controversial speech on Monday to police chiefs in Chicago, which Johnson did not attend. Trump first claimed to have met the unidentified super cop while he was campaigning for president — in an earlier retelling, Trump said the man claimed he could “straighten out” the city in one day, or “so quickly that your head would spin.
Monday marked Trump’s first visit to Chicago as president — an opportunity he used to trash the city. Johnson staunchly defended his police force after the president blasted Chicago as more dangerous than Afghanistan. He also cited Trump’s boast about falling crime rates in the nation. Johnson said that it was Chicago that “set the table” for the trend. The city has had “double-digit reductions in the last three years” in major crimes, Johnson said.
