...If the police outnumbered the gang members, it would be an even worse place to live...

These gangs are almost at a par with moslem terrorists.
If sheer numbers wont beat them, what will? The National Guard with saws? Treat them like the domestic terrorists that they are.

The population of Chicago is just under 3,000,000. If there were 100,000 police that would be 3.3% of the population.

In 1989, the East German Stasi employed 91,000 people. The population was 16.5 million. So, there were 0.55% of the population in the Stasi.

The thought of 6 times that many cops in one city is just beyond comprehension.
