Chicago sees 18 homicides in deadliest day in 60 years

[cheek100]

The slayings — including a high school student and a college freshman who aspired to become a correctional officer — occurred on May 31 as the city grappled with ongoing civil unrest in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis police custody, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

I think it would help if this discussion actually took place on it's own time instead of only popping up when there's a protest against police brutality. Cause as soon as the protests die down and the media shifts its focus on the next thing, the "concern" over chicago seems to go away too.

Yep won’t hear anything about it til the next post mass shooting gun control argument

See...why are we as a community not protesting this bullshyt?

no one is stopping you.

What’s going on in Chicago right now is completely unacceptable and I don’t know why some of y’all try to ignore and downplay this situation.

No one ignores it but what can really be done?

At this point the a$$holes who cover Chicago don't actually want it to get better.

Trying to come up with reasons not to defund the Chicago police huh

 

[Neuromancer]

24 shootings or 24 murders?
24 people dying in one day sounds like numbers from the Ed Koch era.

Murders. I'm going to try and find the article. Mind you I read this in a news paper.

Exactly! Chicago Police just the Midwest version of lapd rampart. If Chicago PD can get away with black sites then gunning black folks is light work.

Yeah, then why you got Chicago rappers and hittas on FB live and on Twitter dropping names of people they bodied. I’m sure a CPD unit is doing all the killing

Just like when Cabrini and Robert Taylor was up, those were all killings by CPD right ?

Chicago's nikkas need to come to new York to learn how to hustle and get money

If they was doing that they wouldnt be trying to kill each other all the time

There has to be a multi faceted approach. Some people just don’t belong in society and need to be in prison. There also needs to be jobs and opportunities for everyone else. There needs to be a focus on mental health. Drugs need to be decriminalized or legalized. Schools need to be places the youth feel safe, they’re getting guidance, and their minds and interests are being cultivated. Without the jobs and opportunity, you’re just continuing the cycle, because as you’re putting away those who are harmful to the community, others are just filling that void. So that void has to be filled with something else. That’s also why defunding the police is important. It’s not getting rid of them, but it’s taking what they would spend for military equipment, and distributing that money to help the community. Like helping those who want to open businesses.

Murders will happen with active gangbanging AND a anti black terrorist organization such as the Chicago PD.
