Moonbats Protest Chicago Cops' Guns

It isn't only civilians whose guns moonbats would like to take away; they even want to disarm the police:
A parade of 150 protesters, many of them Chicago teens, slowly made their way into a public meeting at Chicago Police headquarters Thursday night, voicing in unison their displeasure with the police department's increased firepower: "1, 2, 3, 4, No more M4s!"
The group, whose members are part of the Live in Peace Campaign, was referring to the powerful M4 carbines that police brass said earlier this year would be given to officers to match the powerful weapons now in the hands of criminals.
Jose Juarez, 16, who lives in the Marquette Park neighborhood and attends Gage Park High School, was among the protesters attending the monthly Chicago Police Board meeting at 35th and Michigan. He wanted to voice fears that if police increase their firepower, the criminals will follow suit.
I'd never thought of it like that before. Maybe if we arm the police with limp flowers, criminals won't use weapons at all.
Jose is off to a great start. The sky is the limit for budding young community activists in the Windy City — so long as they play ball with the Chicago Machine.
