Law Enforcement as a whole is the problem. The gangs are strong because of the money which comes with prohibition. The war on drugs is a failure and is applied unfairly to minorities. The to two reasons to not having a good paying job are lack of education and having a record.
Law Enforcement does not hold the cops who murder and beat people, accountable. You don't get special rights because you have a badge.

That is true.
I think the BLM movement will continue to be stronger as more LE officers are exposed.
She won't be fired because who is going to rally and demand it? Nobody.
People are leaving the city / state in droves because it's such a mess. Thank our crooked politicians for that.
That must be why there's a massive hotel boom with tens of thousands of new hotel rooms scheduled to open 2015-17. There are 18 upscale high rise condo apartment buildings under construction, right now.
Home values in decent neighborhoods have fulling recovered and then some, meaning demand is greater than supply.
I believe this type of thinking of a mental illness. Chicago has the most murders of any city in the country. 99% comes from the black community - if you looked at the per capita murder rate of the black community in Chicago, it would more closely resemble a hell hole like guatamala or Iraq than a civilized community.
And the police are the problem? HAHAHA.
First off, your 99% statistic is false, there are lots of Latino gang bangers who kill each other. Second, the police aren't the only problem but they are a problem. Nobody in the hood trusts them! It's basically a rite of passage for black youth to get jumped by the police for no reason. They're seen as being like another gang fighting for control. So people don't help them or call them.
Most police are good, but get jumped by them one time and you'll never think of them as being good again.

Your tunnel vision view of the world from the elite, white-bread town of Barrington is HIlarious.
It's okay if you don't get out much, but do you not read or keep up with the news at all?

You're right. 99% is false.
It's actually closer to 80%. (80% of the homicides in Chgo are blacks - and 90% male.)
