There are about 5 gang infested predominantly black neighborhoods in Chicago where that statement is factually true. As for the tourist areas, it's not. Downtown Chicago is as safe as any other major city in America. At least for now. The current black progressive-democrat female lesbian mayor is doing all she can to run the city straight into the ground with her hate-the-police attitude. The recent dramatic rise in shootings in the gang-infested predominantly black neighborhoods is a direct result of her rhetoric against the Chicago Police, who've stood down in those neighborhoods.
Better to go home at the end of their shifts than to the morgue. (Truth.)

We need a wall!
