The mayor of the most violent and dangerous city in the world just told the gang members to not submit to an arrest. If they run, they are free and clear.

All gang members?
Or just a specific type?

Per capita in the US, I believe that's St. Louis for all violent crime. Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Milwaukee (!), Cleveland, Stockton, Indianapolis, Nashville, and New Orleans have more than Chicago.
In the world, Los Cabos, Caracas, Acapulco, Natal, Tijuana, La Paz etc, all have more murders, per capita. The first US city, at #13, is St. Louis.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

If those places are truly, statistically, worse than Baltimore, you bet your ass I'm never going to visit. Ball'mer is enough, thanks.

I’m talking Murder. Click-Bang... I don’t count a bunch of cheddar heads getting drunk and into a fight as dangerous... But it still goes on the books as a violent crime.

Yeah, Chicago certainly holds the record in absolute number. Per capita, not so much.

I still believe the answer as better selection of officers - which requires making the profession an attractive one for the type of people who might otherwise become Navy Seals, and secondly, providing rigorous training both initially and ongoing. In most states, cosmetologists and barbers require more training. Police work is far more demanding and important - and mistakes are expensive - both in lives lost and in settlement dollars.
In Illinois, one is required to take 1,500 hours of training to become a cosmetologist versus 520 to become a police officer. Make sense?

I absolutely agree with the need for more training. The cosmetologist example is one that I’ve used before.
I might disagree about the best candidate, though. It seems to me that the police has too many Special Forces want to be’s in it. The police aren’t soldiers and we shouldn’t necessarily look for soldiers to fill those roles.
-
It would be nice if Special Forces were filled with the guys that couldn’t cut it as a police officer.

That's the point I tried to make. I wouldn't want to recruit SF folks for police - but rather people of that caliber to be police.

If I were a Chicago thug and read this I would laugh my ass off. Assuming I could read.
Chicago twice had it's shopping district trashed last year. There was criticism of the lack of action on the part of police. It sounds like now that inaction will be the policy moving forward.
