This is my go-to for Chicago crime statistics. I recommend bookmarking it.

the telling thing about the shootings in Chicago every weekend aren't the number of people shot, but other things:

1.) number of actual fatalities: usually single digits. So even in bad neighborhoods, people are able to get emergency help in a timely matter, with 4 out of 10 shots landing below the waist. (The infograph sit above even counts people shot in the ass or the dick).

2.) in my mind, the most telling statistic: number of arrests - 0. Always almost 0 unless they can get security camera footage from something. Because the community doesn't want to work with police. It's an endless cycle of gang violence and revenge.

Don't worry some white boy somewhere will shoot up a bunch of people in the next few days and cause a mass murder event.
Now say it ain't so

Progressive liberal run cities ,,,,,,,,

And how many of those will be because the FBI or local police didn’t follow up(Parkland & Colorado)
Or because the “background check” wasn’t updated(California)
Or the perpetrator was so harassed he finally “broke”
Or because the current gun laws aren’t enforced

Even though the next “mass murder” event will likely be smaller in numbers to what happen on a slow week in Chicago, Detroit, NYC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Houston, LA, St Louis, Dallas, KC, Indianapolis 2,757+ total in 2020. What is that average per week? 53 per week


And that's only 10 cities in this country

Mass is now 2 or more sooo , ^^ but the LSM will not point out what you said against the narrative of guns bad , Kinda like fly's cause garbage

So how many times has it been in the last two months, and the week not over yet.

Yes, it will happen but not every week end in every major city in this country and usually not a number to exceed that number in Chicago, Baltimore and other cities run by Democrat's on any given week-end, which is the point of any honest discussion on this subject.


If one wanted to be a fair, rational person, just ask yourself, if you had the power to eliminate the deaths of Blacks at the hands of police or eliminate the deaths of Blacks at the hands of other Blacks, which would you prefer? If you had the power, where would you put your resources? Where would your rhetoric be aimed so that it might mitigate one situation or the other?


Right now, give or take, there have been approximately 15 deaths of so called unarmed Blacks at the hands of police. Here is a recent headline disputing the number of 8 as suggested by "Conservatives". This writer was incensed that the number was so low. What was the "more accurate" number?


https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...19/5322455002/

the Post's database shows police fatally shot 13 unarmed black men in 2019, not eight.

And we are supposed to believe that this is Genocide? That police all over this country go out everyday looking for unarmed Blacks to shoot or choke to death?

Black Americans make up 13% of the population “but are killed by police at more than twice the rate of white Americans,” as the Post reported.

Perhaps that is because Blacks, young Black males to be more precise, that make up less than 6% of that 13%, commit somewhere in the neighborhood of 50% of the violent crime in this country. It is intellectually dishonest to quote one statistic and not the other which is what the Left does in every one of these discussions.


We hear that cops"target Blacks" but do not target Whites. Where are police dispatched to if not more Black and Brown neighborhoods where they will encounter more Black and Brown people than Whites. Police go to these neighborhoods for a reason. That reason is because, that is where the crime is taking place. Another statistic the Democrat party and MSM fail to talk about. You want less shootings of Blacks by cops? Stop the crime in Black neighborhoods and there will be no reason for cops to go there.

nah, it's not like it was in the late 80's to mid-90's. If Cabrini Green were still around, I'd agree with you. Cops are able to get in and get EMT's in to get people out. The cops make heavy use of those gunshot detectors/locators that they started using 20 years ago in Iraq and Afghanistan. Problem is when they go to Stroeger Hospital to talk to the victims, they just say it's a black or latino guy that shot them and that they don't know anything else.

Well since you asked , California, Colorado, South Carolina, New Orleans and Houston weren't some "white boy" So I guess that leaves Indianapolis and Atlanta. About 18-20 victims. That is less than 53 times 2 isn't it

The left believe stupid, made up numbers from MSM. Bill Maher pointed out that 70% of liberals think that the hospitalization rate for Covid is over 50% instead 5-7%. They also think the death rate is 10 times higher than reality. Same is true of police shootings, non-violent protests, and mass shootings.

Life's a bitch when you grow up in the suburbs insulated from real problems and think the shit you see on twitter is real life. Since you lack real problems, you make some up, like feeling oppressed or offended for other people, making up genders and pronouns, having a PTSD freakout when you see your own genitals, etc.
