- I know I’m not the only Chicagoan who’s angry about guns, and the murders on our streets; two more shot dead Monday night.
That makes it ten dead and more than 40 wounded in acts of violence since Friday, and City Hall is spending more time worrying and whining than stopping it.
Ask a cop, any cop on any street, what the neighbors need and the answer you’ll get (I’ve been getting it) is that cops need more cops.
In the past two years, about 1,000 Chicago cops have retired, replaced by only 150 new officers hired in that time.
Keep digging Walter. You still have a very large historical hole to dig yourself out of with us, but you may make it in a few more years.
