Police Commander Harris says it’s true, therefore it is no matter what the real numbers are. Forget about one community, Chicago is approaching 700 homicides for 2022 and soon will the 4th highest homicide rate in the last 12 yrs. The homicide and shooting numbers still reflect who is the problem. 78% black involved, 17.5% Hispanic involved, 4.5% ALL OTHER RACES COMBINED. Yep, its them White gun owners.

January 1st the criminal’s opportune territory opens to the whole state of Illinois,
no thanks to the Illinois legislators for enacting the Safe-T Act for the good of the criminal.
