When President Trump speaks at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference next week in Chicago, the city's top cop won't be there.
A spokesman for Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said on Tuesday that while he will attend several of the conference's events, Johnson will not be in the crowd for Trump's speech on Monday. "The values of the people of Chicago are more important to him than anything that could be discussed at that speech," Anthony Guglielmi said.
