Pot shots . . .

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is calling Chicago a shooting gallery.

“The children in Chicago where he [President Barack Obama] comes from go into a school system where they are lucky if they get home without being shot,” Giuliani told an Arkansas delegation breakfast in Cleveland Thursday.

“They are shooting people in Chicago like it’s a shooting gallery.

“You convict police,” Giuliani said later.

“You need to tell all police officers you have their back. You need to train your police to prevent crime.”
