The “shot spotter” alerts the cops that there is gunfire at a gang and crime infested location. Officers respond and see 2 early morning, 2:30 AM, goofs run when the cops approach.
One officer chases an errant soul down an ally. He finally catches up to the fleeing felon and orders him to show his hands. The youthful appearing bozo starts to pull a gun from his back pocket and is shot by the officer. This gangster was known on the street, by his latin kings cohorts as “Lil Homicide” and “Bvby Diablo.
This split second decision will be reviewed, sliced, diced and critiqued by a bunch of egg-head know nothings who will render an opinion. Usually that the Officer should have done this or the cop should have done that…BULL!!
The mayor, lori lightweight, in a strong show of NON-SUPPORT said that…”We have failed this “child.” Now one must ask…did the city fail him or did he fail by not taking the opportunities offered by any number of endless programs that seem to have no effect, what so ever, in reaching these at risk kids. Just a touch of parental supervision and guidance would or should come into the equation.
The mayor also stated that ….”the residents of the city are traumatized by the misconduct and violence of the Chicago Police Department.” With such words of encouragement a cop in Chicago just can’t help but be be eager to get to work and “Serve and Protect.”
Peace
