It’s interesting that the police seem to know how most shootings went down, even though they weren’t present and most victims refuse to “cooperate”. And yet, few arrests (except in the case of stabbings, there’s always arrests).
The majority of victims are male. Police continue to insist most of the gun violence is caused by gangbangers, but have made few arrests. That’s because police believe most of the victims are also gangbangers. Realize that police in metropolitan areas keep records of whose who in the local gangs, this how they know if a victim is a “documented gang member”. This also means police probably know who the assailants are. So why no arrests?
Once again, majority of shooting victims were not armed, it’s as if the shooters are deliberately targeting unarmed people. It also questions the police claims that the victims are gang members. Wouldn’t they be armed?
New anti-gun laws would not stop the shootings, because most guns used in Chicago shootings are already illegal!
Now here’s something interesting: Notice police claim most of the victims of the shootings are gangbangers, and realize that it’s the families of those victimized gangbangers demanding all out police state gun bans! Is that irony?
