Two dozen daytime robberies in my Chicago neighborhood this Saturday and Sunday alone. Just two years ago we’d see one or two a month.

The lazy list makers won't bother to get data on the sites of specific crimes to determine which were within the borders of the city.

I’m saying SLMPD detectives still suck at their job but everyone else thought it was Gardner (I mean she sucked at her job but declining prosecution on faulty evidence wasn’t one of those things she sucked at)leeharveyawesome wrote: ↑Dec 01, 2023You saying Gabe Gore is soft on crime?dbInSouthCity wrote: ↑Dec 01, 2023Of the 13 instances where the CA office refused SLMPD request for murder charges, 9 have been during Gores tenureleeharveyawesome wrote: ↑Dec 01, 2023The official Public Relations memos about City crime stats might go down but they will never say it's because people are being arrested and put in jail.
There's also been a 17% drop in the number of aggravated assaults with a firearm so far this year which helps support this theory. November (89) was the first month I found with fewer than 100 reports of these assaults (I only found this data going back to July 2021).dbInSouthCity wrote:Only category up YTD Citywide is Society crime, which includes Weapons Law Violations. Those are up 46%, and my theory is that explains decline in shootings, as SLMPD gets more guns off the streets before they're potential used.
