Cubs fan escorted from game for sign honoring fallen female officer.
29-year-old Chicago Police Officer Ella French was shot dead in the line of duty during a traffic stop last week. She was back from maternity leave when she was killed. She was the first female officer shot on the job in 33 years.
Please also pray for her wounded partner, who is in the hospital fighting for his life. We're asking for everyone to lift up this officer and his family as we pray for his recovery.

@Cubs please tell me that you didn’t really kick a fan out for holding up a sign telling a Chicago police officer to RIP. pic.twitter.com/GCHw6FYdFz

So, someone holds up assign in honor of a Chicago police officer shot and killed in the line of duty, and they’re escorted out of the stadium. But people can hold up signs, and players can wear shirts supporting #blacklivesmatter, and no one says a word. pic.twitter.com/G72K5GgZTm
