We never hear demographics reported on all this violence? Wonder why? Is it a mix, any predominant groups represented?

  • Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced she has submitted a request to Attorney General Merrick Garland for send more ATF agents for six months
  • She also asked the attorney general for more federal prosecutors and federal marshals to help law enforcement get illegal guns off the streets
  • Chicago is currently facing a 25-year high murder rate, with 767 homicides occurring within the city this year
  • It has also seen shooting incidents increasing 9% over last year and 68% since 2019, with overall violent crimes up 7.5% compared to pre-pandemic level
  • This comes after the democrat proposed slashing $80 million from the Chicago Police Department budget in 2020 during 'defund the police' protests.
  • The proposal was later scaled back and 3.3% of the budget - or $59 million - was cut.

Oops! Mayor changing her tune! She now wants more folk locked up.

Hire more cops back that you defunded. It's your city's problem, not ours.

She wants the feds to pay for correcting her mistakes

Just where are these ATF workers going to be coming from ?
Will other ongoing assignments suffer due to the lack of agents ?
