CHICAGO — As yet another armed robbery spree unfolded overnight, Chicago police officers saw armed men robbing victims on the North Side, but their supervisor ordered them not to pursue the offenders, who drove away and committed even more crimes.

The blood-boiling decision is sure to raise questions about the legitimacy of claims made by public officials that CPD has a concrete, collaborative and robust plan to end a months-long surge in armed robberies.

This morning’s spree began around 2:15 a.m. in the 2400 block of North Ashland. A man and woman told police that two armed men got out of a gray SUV and robbed them at gunpoint, Chicago police said. Cops later determined that the getaway car was a Dodge Durango stolen from the 6900 block of North Clark on Tuesday, according to a source.

Maybe the police supervisor is also the supervisor of the robbery gang. Maybe he is getting a cut of the proceeds in exchange for telling the beat cops to not to pursue the offenders.

Well to be fair, the thugs may have been friends/relatives of the mayor.

[Mark]

Were the two armed persons Chinese, White, AMISH?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Port-Au-Prince, Mogadishu, Kingston, Lesotho, Chicago, Baltimore …

Connect the dots.

if it had been Trump, they would of shot him dead!

but because it was some of THEIR voters, they don’t care.

[ConservativeInPA]

Defund blue cities. They don’t even try.

[Chuckster]

I don’t live in Chicago. I don’t care.

The people who do live there obviously want it that way.

[Alas Babylon!]

Why does the 70s Paper Lace song, The Night Chicago Died, keep playing in my head?

[Pajamajan]

Keep voting Democrat.

Capone was a bootlegger. He didn’t rob average people on the street.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Capone would have loved present day Chicago. Ness would have been pissed.

[LouAvul]

Lemme see. Black mayor. Black chief of police. (Likely) black perps.

Yeah, makes sense. The bruh's have that secret handshake and all.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Connect the little black dots. Virgin Islands, never would have guessed, but yes, it's a demographic thang.

[OHPatriot]

What really pisses me off is not that the Supervisor ordered the cops to stand down.

What really pisses me off is THE COPS FOLLOWED ORDERS AND STOOD DOWN!!!!

I guess in Chi-congo a Police Officer’s Oath is WORTHLESS.

[Political Junkie Too]

Are you aware of the Chicago Mayor who lectured reporters to not call the mass looters a "mob" but instead refer to them as "large gatherings?"

That’s not appropriate... We’re not talking about mob actions. I didn’t say that. These large gatherings … it’s important that we speak of these dynamics in an appropriate way.

This is not to obfuscate what has taken place, but we have to be careful when we use language to describe certain behavior. There’s history in this city. To refer to children as ‘baby Al Capones’ is not appropriate.

What do the Chi Cops do; stand around and watch the paint dry? Its a good way to quell liability problems.

The invaders are often coming from countries with homicide rates far higher than that of the USA.
