75% of Chicago's murders are gang related.

While we can agree that there are any number of other factors, gangs are a big part of the equation while *guns* are all over and don't seem to result in murders and shootings in the majority of those places even just a couple of miles away.

Why can't these inner city liberal parents raise their damn kids properly?
Your kid has a gun and is out at 2:00 am in the morning.

Parents should be charged for being incompetent idiots.

Well I think the body cam footage should clear that up.

What's there to understand?

Cops = bad

Criminals = good

You don't want to lose power by pissing off your constituents before the pension kicks in. Democrats would dismantle entire police departments before they hold their community accountable.

"Largely latino neighborhood", it's the second biggest & most prominent Mexican neighborhood in the USA after East LA.

Is Chicago any different than Detroit ? Atlanta ? St. Louis ? etc....

Yes, there is a lot of gang violence, but I think we are way to quick to point fingers at that and then just forget about it.

Disputes, these are just in the last month. And in the first incident, you can see that this person already had an arrest record, due to the fact that they had a mug shot at the ready.

What's complex about making up a name, color, group, handshake, and using it to commit crime because you're too lazy to prosper the legal way?

Gangs don't consist of rocket scientists.

Perhaps you need a map, but there is no other developed country on earth with more blacks than America. Zero. So if you can't make it in this country, you can't make it in any other country.

average gang member is 15 years old. which means there are 'children' gang members well under 15 years of age.

CHILDREN, the socialists have co-opted the word and use it to hide gang associated members in the category of innocent kids.

B on B victims never ever get the full on media sympathy sob story, they are simply reduced to a sterile number.

How about LL campaigning to teach perps not to resist arrest????????
