She is arguing legal precedent as to why they can't strike or ignore a "direct order" to get the shot. The funny thing is when you fail to play by the rules that are setup, don't expect your opponents to.
Power lies where the people believe its lies. Power in government is a trick. It is only good as long as we support it. What mayor Lightfoot doesn't understand (or maybe she does and she is playing the game) is all these precedents she is stating are meaningless if the people you are trying to enforce it on don't recognize those rules.
The police union has a lot of power in this regard. Lightfoot can't fire that many officers. Her city is being destroyed as it is now, and will be over-run if that many officers are let go.
