That’s quite a resume, President Cantanzara

Usually, the announcement of someone elected to high office mentions their bonafides to lead. The article announcing the election of John Cantanzara president of the 13,500 member Chicago Police Officers Union noted nary a bonafide. But it did mention Cantanzara’s disciplinary record on the force. In 2012 he was suspended 20 days for working security for a restaurant while on medical leave from the force for a back injury. In 2017 he was reprimanded for using his uniform as a prop in a social media post proclaiming love of President Trump and the 2nd Amendment. Two years ago Cantanzara was so outraged with former Chief Eddie Johnson marching arm in arm with Father Pfleger on the Dan Ryan protest march to dampen tensions, he filed a police report on him. That stunt got Cantanzara temporarily stripped of his police powers. Maybe Cantanzara simply figured correctly, if a negative resume worked for President Trump, it would work for him.
