Chicago Dispatcher Rises to the Occasion, Cop Fights for His Life, Backs Turned on Lightfoot

This dispatcher kept his calm and made command decisions during this chaos. He needs to be commended. We lost Officer Ella French, her partner Carlos is still fighting for his life.

The link below is the radio transmissions from the two officers shot in Chicago last night. It’s very tough to listen to. However, we must give credit to the dispatcher, Keith Thornton. He did an unbelievable job under such excruciating circumstances. He took control of the radio and assured these officers had the best chances for survival. Great job, Keith!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of Officer French who lost her life last night, and her partner who is currently listed in extremely critical condition.
