I would pretend to be shocked, but I can't even pretend that a Chicago politician would lie. Snow job: CPD top cop boasts carjackings "down" 20% in February (doesn't mention blizzards) | CWB Chicago
And make no mistake... Chicago Police Supt. David Brown is a politician.
It’s so ridiculous, we almost couldn’t believe our eyes Tuesday. But there it was.
Chicago Police Supt. David Brown went on Twitter to brag that carjackings were down 20% during the first two weeks of February compared to the last two weeks of January.
Of course if you compare this year to last year, the numbers tell a different story. If you look at February 2020 versus 2021, there was about twice the number of carjackins than last year. Hard to spin that though.
And why the decline versus January? Can you spell "Polar Vortex?"
Meanwhile, the National Weather Service’ Chicago office sent a few tweets Tuesday, too.
“So how about these past three weeks Windy City??” the weather service tweeted. “Three winter storms, lake effect snow, blowing snow, heavy wet snow, light fluffy snow…you name a snow and the city has seen it. It’s the snowiest 3-week stretch for the city since the historic 1978-1979 winter.”
I blame Global Warming for that, by the way.
Anyway there is more at the CWB Chicago story linked above.
