Bullet points of 'Feasting' like royalty, Chicago DNC held in fortified castle walled off from reality: former chief
- The Democratic National Convention is being held in Chicago, despite the city's ongoing problems with violence and policy failures.
- Former Chicago Police Department Chief of Detectives Gene Roy criticized the convention, saying it's a symbol of elitism and ignores the city's real issues.
- Roy pointed to the recent death of a 7-year-old boy who was shot and killed by a 16-year-old suspect who was on supervised release, highlighting the city's failure to address its violence problem.
- The convention's security measures, including armed police officers and two separate fences, have been criticized for being excessive and isolating the politicians from the reality of life outside.
- Chicago police officers have had their days off canceled and hours extended to ensure the event is secure, leading to stress and burnout.
- The protests outside the DNC have been peaceful so far, but organizers plan to continue rallying throughout the convention with demonstrations and a march planned for Thursday.
- The city's public safety and quality of life struggles are unique and have been exacerbated by the convention's security measures, according to Roy.
