As protests erupted across the country following the death of George Floyd, many of them were followed by incredibly violent riots.
The destruction was especially present in the city of Chicago, whose mayor was dismissive of the problem altogether.
In leaked audio of a May 31 conference call, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot was recorded telling Alderman he was “full of s—” when he demanded answers for how Chicago would respond to the devastation.
“We have to come up with a better plan because, my fear is, once they’re done looting and rioting and whatever’s going to happen tonight, God help us, what happens when they start going after residents? Going into the neighborhoods?”
