Chicago shot clock => https://heyjackass.com
It is an accepted but lamented fact of life among police officers that in order to rise on the promotional ladder, one must endorse the political fashions currently in favor among the citys politicians.
In other words...to be successful, you have to lick boots and kiss ass. Lamentable.
On a per capita basis, Chicago is not the deadliest. It gains all the attention because it is so large and has huge numbers. I’m not sure what realistic remedies can be brought to tamp the numbers down.
Reason - loss of family, loss of Christianity
This is owned by the black community. Its the black peoples fault. This is not racism. Its fact. Those murders are virtually all in three black communities. There are Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern and tons of other ethnic groups in Chicago who are lower middle class coming to America in the past few decades. But they don’t have murder. Murder IS NOT a poverty issue. That is pure crap. Murder is a drug crime issue. Just like in the days of Al Capone (same city) murder was about running whisky then, its about heroin now. The Chicago black neighborhoods are controlled by gangs. There are numerous gangs in Chicago that control very defined sections of the city and they are fighting for each block.
When a murder happens nobody will tell the police who did it. They know, the family of the victim knows. But they will not tell the police. Their own gang will handle it. So the crime does not get solved as we know it. But the shooter is often shot two weekends later. Or his little brother is. The reason for the black communities silence is three fold. One, its a high crime to tell the police, and they won’t catch the guy any how. Your gang is more likely to get revenge faster and make it hurt. And you have a family member or close friend in a gang maybe even the gang that shot your son. So telling gets you and everyone you know in hot water.
The reason this happens in Chicago so consistently is because the black neighborhoods are anchored by projects or low income housing. And they stay in the same place, and they stay all black. Because the murders never go outside the black community, the rest of the city knows just to avoid those areas. One year it moved to the loop and Michigan Avenues shopping district. The police doubled their force and created heavy handed tactics especially against black youths, and it disappeared in those areas.
“As a result of this, the upper levels of most police departments, most certainly those in large cities, become clogged with men and women who can recite leftist pieties..”
As far back as I can remember every last lousy police chief in Chicago was as fanatically anti-gun as were the equally lousy mayors.
Reason? You make over $150,000.00 tax free selling drugs on a corner. One day someone else is on your corner so you KILL them.
They split the country and started the Civil War, founded the KKK, lynched blacks, and attacked Civil Rights leaders and the Republicans who supported them, all for the cause of keeping their "entitlements".
Many of us remember the union violence when Americans chose Japanese made cars over poorly made UAW cars in the 70s and 80s. Granted, they came around and their quality has improved greatly, but it took losing almost half of their home market to get to that point.
Not to mention millions of unborn babies dying for nothing more than the entitlement to have sex without accepting responsibility for the consequences.
The violence that goes on in Democrat run cities is only the latest manifestation of this.
You got to love the Democrat Party, they went from lynching and killing blacks since they lost the Civil War to Enslaving the Blacks in dependency on the entitlement plantation and have convinced them to Kill themselves off.
yes but rahm emanuel just solved the problem by declaring chicago schools a “trump free zone”.
