Of course, the result will only be minimal because what's happening is a block by block gang war that the Feds can't fix, but I don't expect conservatives to understand the real problem. They're too busy with the alternative world.

How about if you're a gang member, you go to the slammer. Sooner of later crime has to drop.

Well, there is that, but also the Cops of Chicago just not taking action:

Please. The cities are chomping at the bit to let the feds to their policing. Why not? It's free. This won't put pressure on anyone to fix it.

It puts pressure on Trump...that's all. If he said it, he's gotta follow through on it. Big city mayors couldn't care less if he wants to send in the feds.

You my friend, are unlike 99% of CD posters in that you're street smart. That's a very good observation. Few people are astute enough to know this.

Good to see someone on here that knows something about how it works on the streets.

Mayor Rahm will extend Sanctuary City status to violent criminals, that should drum up enough Liberal outrage to buffer President Trump's threats of action

You are going to invent a device that can tells us who the gang members are?

Nonsense. Doesn't work that way. They locked up thousands upon thousands of crack dealers...didn't do a damn thing.

Uhhhh....no. Some cities like Detroit have NO gangs worth mentioning.

Stop talking about this street stuff. You're clueless.

The Feds are going to leave sooner or later and the gangs will return with a vengeance.
You're conversing with people that fit more at a Girl Scout Cookie drive than anywhere on the streets. They don't have a clue how this thing works.

There is no "War on Cops". Largely, the Chicago PD got their little feelings hurt, and didn't like that people were critical of them, so they took their ball and went home.
