Lincoln Park Alderman Michele Smith is asking her constituents to buy whistles and blow them if they see certain crimes unfold. Smith says the WhistleStop Program proved successful in the 1970s, before her ward was largely gentrified.
Her proposal is garnering national comedy exposure! Instead of whistles, people should blow base tubas. Or, tap dancing, free lessons this week! I think Lori is going to be busy.

The whistle blowers are going to get themselves killed. Does anyone honestly think that the bad guys, who don’t fear any prosecution by Kim the dunce, will fear a whistle. They will kill the noise maker just to get another notch on their gun.

Criminals are no longer afraid of CPD.
Now, Ald. Smith expects them to be afraid of whistles?
They truly don’t have any solutions.
