A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Great news geniuses. Pinhead solved the problem. Now he can continue to defund the police. Do any of you want to look into how many 911 calls are actually answered or how an action is classified when a dead body is found? Could it be that the body found with 20 bullet holes is a suicide? The body found in an alley is a car accident. Idiots.
Chicago could do better. Switzerland has more than 3 times the population of Chicago, but the entire country averages less than 50 murders a year. And the Swiss population is much more heavily armed, perhaps that has something to do with it. Don’t mess with the Swiss? A better comparison might be Toronto, it has about the same population as Chicago, but less than 100 murders per year.
Bahahahah! seriously?
At the end of the day 390 people still died. I’m sure that the “trend” is of little consolation to the families of the 390. Boasting of the decline is unacceptable.
I’m always amazed by the “but it’s down” crowd. How about zero murders as the benchmark?
I’m betting people being wounded has gone up !! What are the costs to hospitals and rehab centers for ALL THOSE VICTIMS??
Are you saying their aim is getting worse?
