Audio and summary
No and a low rate of solved homicides dovetails with the progressive agenda.
Just think of those victims as overterm abortions and it’s all good. Heck, everyone of them lowers the carbon footprint.
The majority of murders in Chicago are black on black. Unfortunately the black community does not want to cooperate with the Chicago Police Department which is why clearance rates are so dismal. One might also ask why a city that is about 30% black has about 75% of the murder victims also black?
Schemel might want to consider that the gang member database has been all but abolished and CHI refuses to share intel re illegal immigrants. It’s hard to solve crimes when offenders information is made unavailable and eventually deleted.
The “communities” don’t trust the police (I took that to mean won’t work with the cops), activists want to defund the police and then the same groups complain that the underfunded, overworked police don’t solve more murder cases.
Maybe they should partner with a True Crime broadcast outfit like Investigation Discovery.
