Rodney King riot, the politicians told the police to back off on criminals.<br />A big name trainer did a ride-along with the LAPD after the riots, and asked if they were doing anything differently. The cop explained that prior to the riots, if they saw a gangbanger hanging on a streetcorner, they would run them in. After the riots, they would simply wave as they drove past. <br />Apparently, the politicians worked hard to hide the increase in crime following the disengagement of the police. I don't know if the police ever got the okay to go back to being proactive. I suspect not.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-18580246755862044042019-04-09T19:50:28.783-05:002019-04-09T19:50:28.783-05:00What really should be looked at is total wounded.

The news-headline about "increase in murder rate" that we hear all the time is for a small handful of neighborhoods in a few cities. Five neighborhoods in Chicago accounted for a third of the nationwide "increase in murder" for 2016. <br /><br /><br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-70020220856785612142019-04-09T08:19:41.336-05:002019-04-09T08:19:41.336-05:00I think I read a piece recently where it stated th...I think I read a piece recently where it stated that if you took the top *five* violent cities (IIRC Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis, New Orleans, & another I can't recall atm) out of the picture the U.S. crime statistics would drop to negligible numbers.Bob Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01605741445499179146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-49926263771258349832019-04-09T07:01:09.541-05:002019-04-09T07:01:09.541-05:00Blaming the "gun culture" for Chicago wh...Blaming the "gun culture" for Chicago where they have some of the strongest anti-gun laws in the country shows how stupid this is.<br /><br />These shootings are not happening with legal guns.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12084309137541367977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-66061066801197991142019-04-09T06:36:21.089-05:002019-04-09T06:36:21.089-05:00I know a bunch of cops that work the South Side of...I know a bunch of cops that work the South Side of Chicago. <br /><br />They blame it on more than drugs.
