Chicago's Summer Shooting Season Has Just Begun as Cops Retire in Record Numbers
2021-07-02
[PJMedia] There have been 353 murders in Chicago so far this year, ahead of 2020’s pace and far ahead of 2019’s. Chicago’s summer shooting season has just begun, and it appears nothing is being done to slow the trend.

#3  there are still Chicago cops doing what they can to stem the violent crime that plagues so many of the city’s neighborhoods.

The drop in law enforcement can be seen in the arrest rates for murder in Chicago. during the 90's, the arrest rate for murder was 30%. This was a low rate, but justified because the chief suspect in each case would themselves be shot before the police could arrest them.

Now the arrest rate in Chicago is less than 10%, and it is obvious that the police are no longer a deterant to criminal activity.
