Again, I want to reiterate few points.
Over 90% of shootings are perpetrated by blacks/mexican ghetto scum using illegal weapons.
These shootings occur in the same shithole ghetto areas over & over again as soon as the weather gets warm.
Basically it's a few bad apples that give the city is murder/dangerous reputation. These bad apples happen to be black/mexican. Yet NOBODY in the mainstream media chooses to acknowledge this. Do something with this segment of population, and problem solved. Longer school days, more after school activities, some school/work programs....etc.
Also, Chicago Police Department is a few thousand officers short due to budget constraints as of the last few years. (Hiring is picking up now) This means less patrols, more overtime = tired officers, longer response times, ....etc. Basically less police presence in the areas where they should be (shit hole ghettos) Rather most cops are writing stupid drinking/traffic tickets to generate revenue FACT, instead of doing real cop shit.
