Could it be the right ones are getting shot?
“.......police report drop in crime”.....
I take that to mean fewer whites were shot.
Read the actual facts here, which in summary states that this was all done with Millions in overtime taxpayer money as a one-time deal to make Rahm look good. Bottom line is the CPD manpower is down by thousands. And this band aid will not work for very long.

5 dead, 65 shot over the weekend, wasn’t that about right? I guess if only 5 die that’s good news in that democrat hellhole.
