Chicago police stop responses to burglaries and thefts

[Apocalypse]

Chicago police will no longer show up at crime scenes unless someone is in critical condition or a criminal suspect remains on the scene.

It may soon take bullet wounds, broken bones, rape attacks or other injuries to catch the attention of the police department, while crimes like car thefts may largely be overlooked.


Chicagoans who report property damage, vehicle thefts, garage burglaries or other crimes in which the perpetrator is no longer on the scene will not be assisted until the police have time, thereby freeing up officers for patrol duties but also leaving distraught victims in the dark.

Yep. Obama's America where the criminals run the show. Well, at least black criminals.

And Rahm Emmanuel's Chicago. Looks like old Rahm-a-dam-dam is creating more crises to not waste.

Yes, it's the Liberal controlled cities that should be emulated across the United States.

That's what the American people voted for.

This is what they voted for both local and federal, why should they be surprised?

It's been like that in Detroit for decades, except for the years from 1994-2002, when Dennis Archer was mayor.


DPD was famous in the 80s for telling people who called in stolen car reports "well, move, then". Then they wondered where all the people went.
