Weak Sentencing Blamed for Chicago Violence

| 4 Comments
Chicago's top cop told reporters Monday that the failure to jail repeat offenders is to the blame for the city's out-of-control gun violence.  Chris Irvine at Fox News reports that Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, who has been calling for tougher punishment for repeat gun offenders, spoke out on Monday after the city's second bloodiest weekend of the year, with 58 shootings leaving seven dead.  The violence has continued even after the city deployed and additional 600 officers to high crime neighborhoods.  Apparently, no gathering is off limits for gang shootings, including a back-to-school peace rally at a playground Saturday night, where three people were shot.  Chicago police are under one of the most restrictive consent decrees in the country, signed off by Mayor Rahm Emanuel to quell "black lives matter" protests over police shootings of black males and Obama Justice Department claims that police used racial profiling to target minorities, as reported last year by the Los Angeles Times.

Perhaps if the police in Chicago were not massively abusive they would get more cooperation from the public and solve more crimes, which would bring down the murder rate. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/20/opinion/the-police-arent-the-solution-to-chicagos-violence.html

I get it. Chicago's black Police Superintendent is a racist who does not know why black shootings of black victims in his city are out of control. This "cops are racist" narrative and the de-policing that has been forced on Departments in Baltimore and Chicago are filling the morgues in these cities with black victims. Fuzzy, which Chicago neighborhoods do you think are responsible for the most 911 calls by residents begging, what you characterize as abusive,racist police to come protect them?

Sure, it is the cops’ fault that the feral young men of Chicago go on shooting rampages.
