Meanwhile in Chicago....

Obama could have done plenty about Chicago. He chooses not to. He knows who gets locked up if he does, and he would rather use his powers to pardon the criminals who caused the last crime wave.

[wiffleball 4,791]

It's odd, CNN isn't running these deaths at all, no 24 hour coverage? I don't under and it they are always right at the front of deaths and what not....I wonder why we aren't getting thorough coverage?

that''s kind of my point. Hell, they did 72 hour wall to wall coverage of the german truck attack.

It's easy for those that live outside of our urban nightmares to avoid being murdered. Stay away form them. Terrorism, on the other hand, comes looking for you.

cause one is an outside attack from people who should never be allowed in the country

 

I agree, but SOMEBODY had to pick the cotton. And don't even get me started on the NBA..

Now that we let them in, they just won't LEAVE!

 

and because we have a president who doesnt give a ###### about his own home state, why should we?

 

Well, if we don't give a shiit about what he does care about, shouldn't we care about what he doesn't care about?

 

and also nobody cares about these murders, or shootings cause its thug on thug. I hope they all kill each other off.

 

I'd agree, but too often, far too many innocents get caught in the crossfire. I think it's more likely what you say though "thugs killing thugs". But if we expect blacks to kill, shouldn't we expect terrorists to kill too? I mean "Terrorist kills people!" is news like "Ducks Quack and Dogs Bark!"

Seriously, if the MSM would put a focus on this issue it might just shame the powers that be in Chicago to do something about it. Who is in charge in Chicago anyways? Oh yeah, Obummer's right hand man.

Yeah, I'm reminded of a quote and I wish I could give it proper attribution. Seems to pertain perfectly to this case:

 

 

"The subtle racism of lowered expectations"

 

To cut down to it, basically it seems the MSM, just has this "blacks gonna kill, whaddya gonna do? attitude"

- Kind of the same way that they never report the glaring statistics about black crime in general.

I believe you are referring to "the soft bigotry of low expectations," stated by W in reference to the expectations of black children in school in a speech to the NAACP. That being said, it is absolutely spot on.

Chicago's Record Violence Spills Into 2017 With 28 Shot on New Year's Day

 

http://abcnews.go.com/US/chicagos-record-violence-spills-2017-28-shot-years/story?id=44532135

 

The record-setting violence Chicago saw in 2016 extended into the New Year -- with 28 people shot in the city on the first day of January alone, according to data from the Chicago Police Department.

 

The first shooting of 2017 happened at 1:05 a.m. Sunday, when two men were taken to the hospital after one man was shot in the chest and the other in the back in a drive-by, according to the Chicago Police Department.

 

Three men were killed in the shootings. Of those shot, five victims were women and three of the victims were minors.

 

The last shooting of the day occurred at 10:55 p.m., when three men were shot while standing on the street in another drive-by shooting, according to the data.

 

Chicago saw 3,550 shooting incidents and 762 murders in 2016, which works out to an average, per day, of more than 9.7 shootings and more than two murders. The 20 shootings on New Year's Day are more than twice the daily average from 2016.

 

Shootings have reached a record level since police began tracking them in 2011, rising nearly 50 percent over last year and nearly doubling since 2013.

 

The police department did not immediately comment about the New Year's Day shootings and the mayor's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

There is no need for a stop and frisk program ( not that one existed). Tell cops to lock people up in high crime areas for anything they can. Then get out of their way. Follow up until resolution of reported crimes. Tight bail requirements. Ask Feds for help and get out of their way. That's a start. Just an FYI, the most dramatic crime reductions in NYC came before this supposed "stop and frisk" program was instituted.

Chicago Homicides Even Higher Than Reported

 

https://aminewswire.com/stories/511071497-chicago-homicides-even-higher-than-reported

 

The record-setting violence in Chicago is even worse than announced as new evidence shows the city suffered 50 more homicides last year than the numbers publicly reported in the past week.

 

The city posted a decades-high homicide count of 812 in 2016, per the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. That’s 15% greater than the 762 murders reported by the city's police department.

 

The discrepancy is largely due to the fact that the county tallies “homicides” while the police number counts “murders.” Murders are defined as violent acts subject to criminal prosecution. Homicides, according to the medical examiner, include instances “when the death of a person comes at the hand of another person. This does not imply that all homicides are murders that would be subject to criminal prosecution.”

 

The city police count is also lower because it excludes violent, intentional deaths if the act is deemed justified, including police killings of residents.

 

Per the county’s count, homicides rose 54% in 2016 over 2015 when Chicago had 528 deaths determined to be homicides.

 

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for victims of homicide in Chicago with 725 decedents being felled by at least one gunshot wound.

 

African Americans also bore the brunt of the violence in Cook County, which includes Chicago. They accounted for 710 of the county-wide total of 915 (88% of which occurred in the city). Men comprised 90% of the homicide victims in the county.

 

Other cities saw similar increases in homicides per a recently released FBI data. Cities with over one million inhabitants saw murder rise by 21.6% in the first half of 2016 over the first half of 2015, when homicide jumped in most urban centers after decades of falling murder rates.

 

Murder, per the FBI, is different than homicide. The former is defined as “murder and non-negligent manslaughter as the willful (non-negligent) killing of one human being by another.”

 

The distinction accounts for some of the discrepancy between the oolice department’s official count of 762 and the medical examiner’s report of 812 in the city. The remainder may be due to jurisdictional issues (such as a murder occurring within city limits but under the jurisdiction of a different agency like the Illinois State Police) and victims’ dying in the following calendar year (12 individuals died in 2016 from assaults in previous calendar years per the Chicago Sun-Times.)

Chicago police violated the Fourth Amendment through a "pattern or practice of use of excessive force," Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced Friday, revealing the results of a wide-ranging investigation that the city's former top cop called biased from the start.

 

Among other findings, the report determined city police used excessive force and that "this pattern is largely attributable to systemic deficiencies within CPD and the City." It also cited insufficient training and a failure to hold bad officers accountable.

 

"The resulting deficit in trust and accountability is not just bad for residents -- it's also bad for dedicated police officers trying to do their jobs safely and effectively," Lynch told reporters during a news conference.

From that link;

 

From 1993 to 2015, the rate of violent crime declined from 79.8 to 18.6 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 12 or older.
