No beat car was on duty the night five people were shot outside Lincoln Park Zoo

When those five people were shot in the 1900 block of North Stockton around 4:40 a.m., no cars were assigned to patrol the local police beat. Inside the yellow crime scene tape that officers draped between thick tree trunks and vehicle side view mirrors, liquor bottles and plastic cups dotted the ground.

Not a problem according to Mayor Johnson. His policy is not to address crime and if you don't live in the city, you ought not to comment on rampant crime.

So much political double talk. Chicago had ZERO police patrolling Lincoln Park on the night of the shootings.

Is it surprising? Do they have the police? Is this an area that would generally call for community policing?

A new development is the use of decoy or scarecrow police cars. The understaffed Chicago Police Department parks empty squad cars in prominent locations and leaves the blue lights flashing constantly. Somehow this is supposed to deter criminals.

There has been in the past and I am sure it is true today.

That many rural areas do not run 24/7 coverage.

Or the coverage is so slim the response time is very long.

It is (was) one of the best areas in Chicago.
Yuppie town.

Who would work in this place as police officer?
Basically you have two choices - do nothing and look the other way or risk ending up in jail yourself!
I would never ever think about being police officer in Chicago!

“...Chicago had ZERO police patrolling Lincoln Par..”

And if there were any cops patrolling they couldn’t care less.

Here, in rural sw PA, it's rare to see a cop.

Of course, we have a 96% homogeneous population and very little crime.

No homeless and mentally ill on the roads.

Okay no beat cops, but why weren’t there any mental health therapist assigned to keep the public safe? Isn’t that what the socialist A-Holes say is needed instead of cops?
