After high-profile murder, Chicago police oversight group calls for an end to ‘black bodies… being left lifeless on our streets’

CHICAGO — A group of officials elected to provide oversight of the police in one of the most violence-plagued areas of Chicago released an unusual statement on Saturday afternoon.

The Austin (15th) District Councilors decided to speak out after gunmen ambushed a victim in a targeted daytime attack that was caught on video Wednesday morning. It was caught on video, showing three gunmen opening fire on the victim, with two killers firing round after round, one from a rifle, at close range even after he had fallen to the ground. (We are not publishing the video on this page due to its content, but it can be viewed here.)

They are always babbling about the “streets” which seemed weird to me.
Who lives on a street?

I suppose it is some sort of eastern urban thing.......

Hmmm...if only we could find out who is creating all of these dead black bodies.

It’s simply one of the mysteries of our time.

black bodies… being left lifeless on our streets

Couldn't passers-by, as a courtesy, just prop up the lifeless bodies next to the biowaste containers and paper bundles already standing on the curbside? Then the Sanitation Dept. could deal with the problem!

A large percentage of murders are committed by people with prior criminal records

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/201308

Results For 1990-2000, 42.6% of 884 cases had at least 1 felony conviction compared with 3.9% of nearly 7.9 million controls, for a population-attributable risk of 40.3% (95% CI, 37.0%-43.8%); among cases, 71.6% had experienced any arrest from 1990-2000 compared with 18.2% of controls, for a population-attributable risk of 65.3% (95% CI, 61.6%-68.8%).

“...until chalk outline guy arrives...”

Affectionately known as “chalkie” in police parlance. A very busy man in Chicago!

Never mind the murder, but did the assassins register those “assault weapons” under Pritzkers new ban?

They are making this statement now!

The Dems only concern for black lives comes one day a year, on the first Tuesday in November

“We cannot continue to stand by as our communities are torn apart by the cycle of violence that seems to have no end.”

If one wants to know why it has no end, there is only ONE statistic that reveals the cause:

Every year in Chicago, 80-85% of all homicide VICTIMS have a criminal record!

That can only happen if career criminals are being returned to the streets in HUGE numbers. Want to stop “the cycle of violence”? Stop releasing violent criminals back on the streets.

Just think about it: Only 15-20% of murder VICTIMS in Chicago are ordinary people without a criminal record. In fact, the average VICTIM in Chicago has 10 prior arrests...

In the big cities - I’ve looked at the Police Annual reports for Chicago, New York and LA - the percentage of murders by people with a prior record is 80%, and the VICTIMS usually slightly HIGHER record of arrests: 80-85%.

Just an excuse to bring in grant money. They refuse to convict and imprison so it is all just noise.

Having been shot by other black bodies.

They left that part out of the headline.
