Hmmm. I don’t think Detroit is that far away. Maybe they should give the Detroit Chief of Police a call and seek a little advice from him. I don’t think the demographics are that different between the two are they? Seems like Detroit has told it’s folks to man up and arm up and-——ta da. Less crime. Maybe. Haven’t seen any data to support the Chief but it makes sense to me.

What has worked for Detroit may not work in Chicago because many of the shootings in Chicago are gang related. But it couldn’t hurt.
