Almost 50 people shot in Chicago this weekend

As of this moment no arrests have been made. Does this seem odd to anyone or am I just being a Karen?

Nobody in black neighborhoods wants to get involved. They believe the gangs are better at dishing out justice than the police are. The attitude keeps Chicago running like a self cleaning machine that's just not fast enough.

@IronHamster From a review of the book [i]The War on Cops[/i]:

"The growth of proactive policing in the 1990s, along with lengthened sentences for violent crime, saved thousands of minority lives. In fact, Mac Donald argues, no government agency is more dedicated to the proposition that “black lives matter” than today’s data-driven, accountable police department."

If we want to save black lives the single most effective thing we can do, at least in the short run, is to bring back proactive policing and enhance its funding.

@irishmolly72 I've seen stats showing over 80% of blacks want the same or more police involvement in their neighborhoods. It's the criminal element driving BLM.
