 In 1861 this country had a 4 yr bloody civil war, one of the reasons was to "free" the slaves and have forced labor slavery to be abolished.  This was done at much cost. Now 160 yrs later, the slaves are creating a civil war in order to enslave others who are "free".

Crime is Down?

While Chicago Police Department leaders continue to insist that “crime is down” citywide, crime may not be down in the places where you live, work, or play, according to an analysis of city data by CWBChicago.

...  crime reports are at five-year highs in Lincoln Park, the Loop, and Near North neighborhoods which includes River North, Streeterville, the Magnificent Mile, and Gold Coast...

... Overall reported crime in the Loop is up 47% over the past five years...

... crime categories that are at five-year highs in the Loop are homicide, shootings, assault, battery, and criminal sexual assault...

... Reports of violent crime in the Loop—homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated battery—have risen 95% in five years...

... Lincoln Park crime is up 13% over five years and up 10% compared to last year...

... On paper, crime is down by about 350 incidents in the Uptown neighborhood. But the reduction is not due to a massive decline in serious crimes. Instead, police have essentially stopped enforcing drug laws on the streets. As a result, there have been about 400 fewer narcotics crimes reported in Uptown this year as five years ago.

... So, yes, crime is down by 350 cases in Uptown. But only because police have made 396 fewer drug arrests—just 44 this year compared to 440 during the same period five years ago...

Wow, that's how the CPD defines "crime is down".
