In debate over where cops should patrol in Chicago, ‘no one wants to lose’ – Chicago Sun-Times*

Northwest Side Ald. Gilbert Villegas (36^th) isn’t happy about revisiting how cops are deployed in beats: “I’m a little concerned about any type of realignment, given the fact that, in the 16^th District, part of the ward that I represent, we’re at 17 murders in one year. Historically, we have seen anywhere from zero to five. So we are up 300%. There’s no way that I’m going to advocate for resources coming from my area going anywhere.”
