FOX 32 reports discusses the staggering amount of police officers retiring in Chicago thanks to the crime, failed Democrat leadership, and even the calls to defund the police. The crime is reportedly “out of control” and further reported is the possibility that “gang members now outnumber the city’s police officers by 10 to 1.”
WATCH the report:
I don’t know about you, but any cop in Chicago who is able to retire, would be very, very wise to do so. It’s like they’re not getting any help, there’s no support, and the Democrat leadership under failed Lori Lightfoot is just a disaster that’s not showing much improvement.
Lightfoot suggested crime stats were down from last year, but that doesn’t mean everything is sunny in Chicago.
You know, only 85 people were shot in one weekend, with 14 fatally, and this is Lori Lightfoot’s inability to control her city.
WATCH:
When it comes to gang members, the NY Post reported on the ratio of cops to gangsters:
Gang members in Chicago outnumber law enforcement officers about 9 to 1 — as officers are on track to retire in record numbers this year, police said Wednesday.
Police Superintendent David Brown estimated last year that there are about 117,000 gang associates, who are part of the city’s 55 known gangs.
The number greatly exceeds the city’s police force, which employs around 13,000 officers.
The disparity may be even worse due to the droves of cops retiring this year, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
