Right off they claim crime in Chicago is reduced which is a stone faced LIE. We live here , we know the WAY crime is reported is deliberately cloaked to obscure the true facts.
With a dramatically reduced street presence by police in the city due to decimated ranks from a strictly manpower standpoint they are missing so much crime.
Morale is at an all time low based on early retirements and perception no one in local government has their back. The Safe T Act is a joke letting way too many REPEAT criminals back on the streets sending message law and order here is weak at best.
Coupled with government mandates NOT to help the Feds in busting out illegals which totally goes against their sworn oath and it is clear much is missed and overlooked due to police apathy. So when THE GUARDIAN spews the blatant BS we are seeing, know the real truth is far from what they are saying
