Why would anyone talk when prosecutors refuse to prosecute?!
The politicians get kickbacks from the gangs, so....the protection racket works.
My new Congresswoman basically ran on a more gun control single issue platform. Sigh.
Police morale is subterranean...they pretty much no longer give a shit due to abysmal leadership, filthy democrat politicians, and a criminal justice system that is criminal itself.
Don’t lecture me about lives that matter, Chicago.
Maybe their murder solve rate would increase if they didn’t have to waste resources on hate crime hoaxes.
How much time and man-hours have been devoted to investigating the Smellitt case, which at best was a simple assault? I’m sure that it took a lot of investigators who could have better spent their time investigating real crimes.
The recent ware house shooting is a perfect example of the corruption in Chicago (similar to corruption leading to the Parkland, FL shooting).
The Chicago chief of police was on TV explaining the criminal history of the shooter and the fact that he was able to get gun permits was an error in the background check. Bull! He paid some corrupt official to get the permit.
Because its MAGA Country?
Well when you take those detectives and assign them to investigating non-existent “hate crimes”.....
Yeah…no. You don’t rat out the rough crowd if you have to live there with them. Send in the ‘cavalry’ and take them out. This would done by warfare not nice polite judge and jury BS.
They didn’t arrest and convict the “Lions of Tsavo”(do a search) They went in and killed them. It’s what you do with dangerous animals.
Communities, are black communities. They handle their own. Police don’t kill people who need to be killed. But the rival gang does.
Most homicide victims in Chicago (or anywhere in the U.S. for that matter) are themselves criminals. They run with the wrong crowd, engage in the wrong pastimes, and piss off the wrong people.
Cops here in Florida call it the no snitch attitude.
“Critics say the main problem that exists in Chicago is a lack of cooperation from the communities affected by the shootings.”
Typical of most minority neighborhoods. They tend to hide criminals from the police.
And hoaxster Smollet wastes police time and resources, keeping them from investigating these murders.
While it’s not obvious to me whether it would be better to have zero police presence or a corrupt police presence, it’s tempting to wonder about running a survey, “Do you want to help the police and they help you - or not?”, identify the zone where the answer is overwhelmingly the latter, help those who answer the former to relocate out of the zone, and after the last one is gone, then never have police step into the zone again until such time as the then residents demand it.
Chiraq will be bringing the entire state of Illinois down soon - real soon.
If anyone’s interested who will pay the bill when that happens, look no further than in the mirror.
Chicago = Drug Cartel North
