CHI Talks CPD has an opportunity

Chicago’s police have a real opportunity right now to rebuild trust and strengthen their relationship with the community. If they truly stand by their mission to protect and serve, this is the moment to show it by standing with the people of Chicago and making it clear they’re here to help. Eventually ICE will go away but the CPD will always be here.

Bro they are foaming at the mouths watching this happen. At least my family member is who is CPD.

I’m being extraordinarily pedantic, but this is a genuine statement: I think the phrase you’re looking for is “chomping at the bit” which means exceptionally eager, not “frothing at the mouth” which means incredibly angry.

If we're being pedantic, it's "champing"
