Except of course she doesn't really want to fight crime. More on that later. For literally the 100th time, Lightfoot administration promises "all hands on deck" to fight violence | CWB Chicago
She called for an "All Hands on Deck" approach to fighting crime on June 11th, two years ago. June of 2019.
Over the next year, Chicago’s shooting and murder tallies increased by more than 50%. This year is outpacing last. And July, the month that just ended, will go down as the third-worst month for murders in Chicago since the police department’s modern record-keeping system began in 1957.
So, of course, the mayor’s office on Thursday called a press conference to rally “all hands on deck” to fight the violence.
So CWB went searching for how much of a thing this really is in Chicago.
In fact, we found over 100 references to the city putting “all hands on deck” to fight violence over the past 26 months on city websites and various city officials’ social media accounts. Some of those officials have since decided to abandon ship for other opportunities.
Heh. Of course if she was actually serious about fighting crime, car chases and foot chases wouldn't be forbidden to Chicago PD. And she would be trying to get Kim Foxx (Cook County State's Attorney) to actually prosecute bad guys. And probably a hundred other things. If she was serious.
I am put in mind of the old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon by this whole repetition. "This time for sure."
