Chicago Way w/John Kass: Retired police chief talks SAFE-T Act reforms, Reed case
Update: 2025-12-01
Description
Chicago Way w/John Kass (12/01/25): This week, retired Police Chief, Tom Weitzel (Riverside), joins John Kass & Jeff Carlin to talk about who is to blame for the release of veteran convict Lawrence Reed –who allegedly poured gasoline over 26-year-old Bethany MaGee at random, setting her on fire aboard a Blue Line train– and what should have been done to prevent this incident. Chief Weitzel also discusses how reforms to the ‘SAFE-T Act’ can improve the judicial system, where the future of electronic monitoring is headed, and his substack -‘The Memo.’ Plus, Kasso wonders if Governor JB Pritzker & Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson really believe this was an ‘isolated incident?’
