Gun Violence Spiked — And Arrests Declined — In Chicago Right After The Laquan McDonald Video Release | FiveThirtyEight
Here's the predictable fallout from Ferguson, Baltimore, and all the Black Lives Matter nonsense that has resulted.
The police are now paralyzed. Afraid to confront anything. Fearful of the repercussions for enforcing the law.
It's a free for all. Criminals are operating with impunity, afraid of nothing. Bullets are flying at record pace.
That is the intentional result of the BLM movement. Make no mistake.
CHICAGO — The severe spike in gun violence Chicago is experiencing can be dated to the release of the video in the Laquan McDonald case, a FiveThirtyEight analysis of crime data shows. The same analysis shows that the city has seen a significant drop in arrests made for homicides and nonfatal shootings, as well as other crimes, since the video’s release on Nov. 24. This suggests a decline in law enforcement activity that may be contributing to the rise in gun crime.
Johnson faces the prospect of the bloodiest year since at least 2003: Chicago is on pace for roughly 570 homicides and nearly 2,100 nonfatal shooting incidents, numbers that could be even higher if the violence increases with warmer weather.
