Leaked audio call between Chicago Aldermen & Mayor Lori Lightfoot - In panic over the looting

Lori Lightfoot - Chicago City Council Leaked Audio [Full]
Audio has leaked from a conference call between Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and some of the city’s aldermen where they discuss the looting and destruction that was occurring in their own neighborhoods (online conference call held by the mayor’s office to brief all 50 aldermen on the city’s response to the unrest).
To be clear, these are leaders from some of the city’s poorer neighborhoods saying this. It’s not aldermen complaining about the looting of luxury stores.
“My ward is a shit show,” Sadlowski-Garza said, adding that cop cars and banks were burned. “They are shooting at the police. …I have never seen the likes of this. I’m scared.” One of the aldermen said “I feel like I am at ground zero” and questioned why businesses like CVS or Walmart would ever come back. One alderman was angry at gang members who were threatening looters: Ald. Raymond Lopez (15th Ward) demanded that Lightfoot develop a plan to stabilize Chicago’s neighborhoods for five days, calling his Southwest Side ward “a virtual war zone” where gang members armed with AK-47’s were threatening to shoot black people.
“Worse than 1968”: Ald. Ed Burke (14th Ward) said he was concerned that residents would take matters into their own hands and become vigilantes. “This is far worse than it was in 1968,” said Burke. -- Even the mayor was shocked: “I don’t know about you, but I haven’t seen shit like this before, not in Chicago,” Lightfoot said. We probably still don’t know the extent of the damage done to these communities: Listening to Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot and the city Aldermen in utter panic about the situation there, and I'm reinforced in my belief that the severity of what transpired nationwide has not been fully appreciated yet.
