Chicago's murder rate soars 72% in 2016; shootings up more than 88%

[akatrex]

CHICAGO — Murders in the nation's third-largest city are up about 72%, while shootings have surged more than 88% in the first three months of 2016 compared with the same period last year, according to data released Friday by the Chicago Police Department.

Police said the disturbing rise in violence is driven by gangs and mostly contained to a handful of pockets on the city's South and West sides.

You should go to the south side and let the gang members know how you feel about this.

Yet another example of a well run Democrat city. When this clown's term is over they'll elect another one.

What does that have to do with Chicago?

The problem does not go away by changing the party.

The only answer is to build a wall and make the gangs pay for it.

Police have decided to do a "work slow down" as protest to the Laquan McDonald shooting and it's fallout, cover up, and eventual prosecution of the officer charged with assassinating that boy...

That's pretty much the entire reason why the murder rate is sky rocking in chicago, the cops are refusing to do their job.

How about expanding on that. Are these murders taking place in front of the cops and they're just ignoring them? Or is it that the cops just aren't patrolling as agressively in cockroachville?

And if it's the latter, who can blame them? Maybe, just maybe, if the black on black murder rate gets bad enough the 'good' citizens of cockroachville might start rethinking their attitudes towards the cops.

It's been maybe a month or two since the shitstain OP brain farted. Gotta vent out that piling gas in the grey matter before something ruptures, y'know.

Plus, the rest of the nimrods here really miss when the late lamented Koalabear used to do this Chicago schtick every day until God reminded him that he was only renting the soul battery powering his rotting meat chassis instead of owning it and that his yearly renewal wasn't up for discussion. Kinda dialed down after that.

So basically your argument is better to be shot by cops?

One of the stupider comments you've made. How many individuals, annually, are shot by police? And how many of those are black? And of those how many are unjustified?

Now how many blacks are murdered by blacks annually? (I actually know that number.)

Now, if the 'good' citizens of cockroachville want to condemn all the cops for the actions of a few bad apples, and there are some out there, and demand a trial that basically starts on twitter and in the press. Then it should come as no surprise to those 'good' citizens that the cops don't want anything to do with them or their community.

Black crime is the problem, not the cops.

You "know" what some Conservative hack posted online somewhere. And we can rest assured that whatever number you have in your geriatric brain exists within no context other than the one which suits your myopic worldview.

Nobody knows how many people are shot by cops annually. Answering to nothing and nobody has it's advantages. The closest thing to an official number is some 400, I assume the real number is at least double that if not more. After all since the data comes from voluntary submission it stands to reason that the PDs with the least to hide are the most forthecoming with information and those who are corrupt to the core are the least. But nobody knows.

How many are justified is again unknowable since most are not video taped it comes down to a case of he said, she said and generally she's dead.

Cops do a lot more than just shoot people mind you.

First nobody is condemning all police, that's narrative cooked up by people who think cops are utterly perfect beings. But the thing is cops have a habit of protecting their own. Until that stops they really do need to collectively be held responsible for the actions of their organizations. The same as everybody else.

When we hear about teachers raping students we don't get any "I support teachers!" people shouting. We get some guys asking why hot teachers didn't take them aside. We get people bitching about teacher's unions making it absurdly difficult to fire them. But nobody comes out in support of teachers because there is no need whatsoever to do it.

Until Twitter and the press hold legal authority who cares what they do?

Black crime is a problem, but a separate problem from this.

Chicago obviously needs much more able socialist community organizers than they've already been cursed with.

First Billary, then Obama, then the current shyster mayor, and now a Justice nominee...

Logic should imagine that before any of these wannabes could possibly make the USSA better, they would've all exhibited that experience in their own hometown first.

On the other hand, since they all also champion the intentional killing of totally innocent human life, the progressive case can be truly made that the death culture which exists in Chicago today is their collective, progressive success story.

That's my open-minded contribution for the day...

The Mayor should pull a Reagan and fire their asses if they refuse to do their job.

Some of our greatest politicians worked in Chicago!

Illinois, where shoe boxes are recycled.

Fuck Reagan for his union-busting... and Rahm doesn't have the political capital to fire too many more people. He's been passing the buck for an entire term, and things are starting to really fall apart.

Just wait until the water tests come back and they find lead in the drinking water in that fucked up shit hole. Then things are really going to get interesting.

Rahm's dreaming that he's going to get brought along to ride Clinton's coattails, but not if he bungles problem after problem after problem.

Black crime is a problem, but a separate problem from this.

Numerically to the very last shooting, you're right. But then again, it's like polling and there is a statistically valid sampling out there. Further, the DOJ has been tracking the numbers diligently for the past several years. About 70% of police shootings are righteous, 20% fall into a grey area and in those cases the benefit of doubt always goes to the officer. That leaves us with that 10% (and I'm being extraordinarily generous here) of those shootings that are 'murder by cop.' Again, statistically, 50% of those are going to be black citizens. Perfectly in alignment with general crime numbers.

As far as Twitter and the press are concerned, a lynching is a lynching.

The numbers of individuals, of any race or persuasion, murdered by police annually is statistically insignificant and will NEVER be zero. That does NOT mean that the officers should get a free pass. That does NOT mean that those lives were of no value. What it does mean is that there is a price to be paid for an orderly society. That the criminal activity of blacks, whites, and any other race or persuasion, can only escalate if you handcuff the cops.

Oversight? YES!!! Trial by Twitter and a suck up press? Fuck no!!!!

Yikes. I'm in Chicago right now at a conference.

Hope Rahm can get this under control and pronto!
