CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago police have released crime statistics from 2016, with a police spokesman calling it an "unacceptable rise in violence."
In the worst violence in nearly 20 years, Chicago saw 762 murders, 3,550 shooting incidents and 4,331 shooting victims.

Thank you ...Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton and the entire Democrat Party!!! You all have done a magnificent job protecting life and property in Chicago and throughout the entire USA.....Not!!! God in his fair and objective, justice will treat you all accordingly!!!
Get rid of gun control and accept that the 2nd amendment applies to your citizens, even if they are not white or rich. All law abiding citizens, regardless of race, should have right to own, possess, carry opening, or concealed, any weapon they choose, just like the police currently do. An armed citizenry, your well armed militia, can defend themselves better, more meaningfully, and, most importantly, more immediately, than can the police that only show up to record the results of violence by unlawful citizens and illegal aliens that have no respect for the laws in the first place.
An 18.1% 2016 Homicide Clearance Rate suggests that they aren't doing much more than picking up bodies. It's probably higher than that in Mexico.
(Using the 795 total and a Chicago population of 2,720,546, that works out to a rate of 29.2 homicides/100,000. Chicago has a higher homicide rate than Iraq, Afghanistan or Syria.)
Fear is a powerful jailer.
CHICAGO—Promising that every effort would be made to limit the impact on residents’ day-to-day lives, Chicago officials announced Wednesday that a fleet of plows was working around the clock to clear more than 18 inches of fresh bullet casings that had blanketed the metropolitan area overnight.

That is the problem.
Getting those out who still have a chance.
I think Trump was brilliant with appointing Ben Carson to head up HUD.
If anyone understands getting out and breaking the cycle, it’s him.
Hopefully he can do something and the blacks will listen to him.
They need to get out of the mindset that living responsibly is being *white*.
The murders are not a police problem. They can’t be stopped at the local level. The problem is a welfare system that encourages women to have fatherless children. Welfare encourages drug use, alcohol abuse and constant dependence. Fatherless children grow up to be feral animals. To end the killing you need to end welfare, encourage marriage and social responsibility. How, exactly, would any “plan” by the police change any of those realities?
Rudi’s Broken Window plan worked in NYC, it will work any where. Problem is when you have black dems in control or just dems of a city it goes to hell in an hand basket in a hurry from schools to crime including government crime.
Memphis saw record crime this year too. Murders topped over 225, the country portion had like 6. Most black on black gang violence. With a few crazies thrown in who were on street drugs. 1 mom killed 4 of her children while strung out.
It was worth reading twice.
The RATS don’t want you to get out. Urban ghettos are the new plantations.
The solution is to elect more Democrats. Rahm is doing a heck of a job.
Rudi had the support of the NYPD. Chicago is so dysfunctional (like many other large, invariably single-party (D) cities -- eg Detroit, Newark and Baltimore) that it could be hopeless.
In Chicago, a street prostitute is more likely to have sex with a cop than to be arrested by one. The CPD would need to clean up the CPD first. Chances of that ever happening?
Not the answer everybody wants.

You get a decent education, but unfortunately the Democrats and the teachers' unions won't allow it.
According to the Hey Jackass! site, the number of homicides for 2016 is now 795, which may rise to 800 or more because determinations of homicide have not yet been reached in a number of deaths.
Ferguson effect as much as anything.
It is nice of them to find the rise “unacceptable”. Would 760 murders be “acceptable”? Why not state how many are acceptable. What hypocrites these proggs are.
Look at Alderman 14. He’s been in office since 1969. Almost 50 years doing nothing of any value.
He’s the John Conyers of Chicago.
