The WGN anchors states Commissioner Johnson is calling for defunding the police. Johnson explains why these individuals were looting on Monday. Johnson explains that what we saw earlier this week is an expression of frustration and anguish with regards to poverty over many generations....
Here we go he's excusing this behavior. The worst part of this behavior is it wasn't just another Black person shot by police, it was misinformation that even the Mayor of Chicago had to take to twitter to address.
There is a false rumor on social media that police officers killed a 15-year-old on Sunday. Here are the facts:— Mayor Lori Lightfoot (@chicagosmayor) August 10, 2020
- Officers responded to 911 calls about an armed man in Englewood
- A 20-year-old suspect fired at officers, gunfire was exchanged
- The suspect is in stable condition
If poverty is the cause, then food, milk and diapers would have been looted. Instead, electronics and expensive clothes were looted.
ReplyDeleteChicago crime isn't a part of a Cook County Commissioner's duties. 🤔(☉｡☉)!
ReplyDeleteYou're right it's not. I'd rather this Commissioner was part of the solution instead of justifying the problem.
DeleteIf poverty was (always) the cause of crime, there would have been tons of crime, during the Great Depression (1929-1933) when "everyone" was poor. ಠ﹏à²
ReplyDeleteThe big crimes then were Al Capone and bootlegging. ಠ﹏à²
