And make no mistake, the Superintendent of Chicago PD is a politician. Top cop claims 1,127 people were arrested for carjacking crimes last year. The actual number? 178. | CWB Chicago.
Okay, so I'm not that shocked. Chicago politicians lie and cheat. It's what they do.
Chicago Police Supt. David Brown called a press conference Thursday evening to talk about the city’s carjacking problem. He opened his remarks with this claim:
“In 2020, there were 1,417 incidents of vehicular hijackings. Chicago police arrested 1,127 — that’s 1,127 — offenders for these crimes,” Brown said.
That’s false. Completely, off-the-charts not true.
The 178 number comes from Chicago PD. The other "arrests?"
The other 949 arrests that Brown lumped in with those were for criminal trespass to vehicles.
That is a misdemeanor. Chicago doesn't keep people locked up over felonies, what is the punishment for a misdemeanor?
There are no consequences for crime in Chicago. And the authorities are refusing to even admit the size of the problem of crime. I don't expect things will get better anytime soon.
Chicago must be paradise and its denizens angels, stupid, moronic angels, but surely angels.
