The only thing I can say is what took them so long? Who would want this job? Sometimes I'm amazed they still have a force.

Not surprising. Considering that the police and its union have been thrown under the bus by Rahm.

I would not be surprised if they turn their backs on twinkle-toes if a cop gets killed.

I’m sure that crime rates will fall dramatically, and good will spread throughout the city as a result.

Big-city whites have been arresting themselves since 1968, and shipping themselves off to gulags in the suburbs.

This has left the central cities relatively free of whites, and the benefits are obvious to everyone.

I know you're joking, but I remember some years ago a mayor told the cops to back off on arrests for what he dead minor offense. He then bragged about a better crime rate because less arrests were being made.

In order to coverup all this Democrat Murder
they now blame the Police

That's just logical. Don't you understand logic?

” . . . Police officers are making drastically fewer investigative stops and confiscating fewer guns . . . “

That ought to work as well as the loony folk singer going to the middle east to serenade ISIS into becoming good guys.

“”the number of so-called investigative stop reports formerly known as “contact cards”.......

How do so many ignorant liberals come up with such ridiculous language? “Contact cards” - What? Are these issued on a street corner, a 7-11 convenience store or where? These people are incapable of joining the sane members of society. They’d never fit in nor will the voters ever admit that letting these people run their cities/counties/states is the sole reason for the abysmal conditional of such.

I love a concise post so artfully composed that no sarcasm tag is needed.

Thanks, that’s nice of you to say.

There are others here far more artful than I.
