        Absolutely right. What else is never mentioned? CPD’s $1.7B budget. How much does the city of Chicago commit to its public schools? 186 mil. Cops aren’t stopping the violence. It would be insane to do the same thing over and over

        I heard the former cpd chief/superintendent w/e on the radio last week saying round up all gang me and keep them in jail. I know really normal ppl from little village who have to wear a gun and have to be with ppl one way or another to survive.

        How awful! 😢 Nine kids in 2 weeks, that's insane. Reminds me of how people were panic buying guns instead of food (or toilet paper) a while back.

        On 911 approximately 3k died that day, It was enough for the US to mobilise their military and tramp around the world for revenge, Although approximately 30k die every year, I repeat every year from gun related deaths and they do absolutely nothing!

        just bad infrastructure and residue from the incredibly botched reconstruction act.

        This tragic situation is not easily susceptible of resolution. There are many issues at play: poverty, hopelessness, gangs, crime, the easy accessibility of guns, insufficient activities for youth, etc. Chicago cries out for community policing and enhanced opportunities.

        A horrifying statement about US values when owning a gun, in many cases multiple guns, is a priority & symbol of pride. The vile @NRA with their endless money owns America & has enslaved politicians to ensure their dominance. Children are simply a footnote to their disciples.

        While we continue to address the aftermath, male violence gets swept under the carpet
