- Chicago's new Mayor-Elect Brandon Johnson told a group organizing for a "police-free future" that black people should be removed from "state-sponsored policing" as a way to fight "white supremacy."
- During the George Floyd riots in the summer of 2020, Johnson came out in support of the "defund the police" movement and spoke on a panel titled "We Don't Call Police: A Town Hall on a Police-Free Future" in which he praised organizers for pushing "an agenda that actually can transform people's lives," the Chicago Tribune reports.
- He replied, "these companies have insurance and assurance."
- We actually need a new direction that really calls for massive investments in neighborhoods."
- Johnson also claimed in a debate that standardized tests have "roots in eugenics to prove the inferiority of Black people."
- Though Lori Lightfoot was voted out as a result of "widespread dissatisfaction from voters over her handling of crime and policing in the nation's third-largest city," voters replaced her with someone who is even more radical.
