"At least 48 people were shot over the weekend across Chicago, 11 of
them fatally."

The article studiously avoids mentioning race or ethnicity, but it's a
fair assumption that most or all were Black or Latino, and the
shootings were gang related, or involved thefts. Who would want to
reside in a Democrat run cess pool like Chicago? I sure wouldn't, and
apparently increasing numbers of police officers share a distaste for
the place:
"Data obtained through public records shows in 2017, 37 officers left
the department before being eligible for a pension. So far this year
that number is nearly double with 68 officers.
For those who are retiring with their pension, that number has been
climbing steadily over the years:
In 2018 there were 339 retirements. The following year in 2019, there
were 475. In 2020, there were 560 retirements. And already this year:
367 just through the month of June.
For this retired officer, who left with the department with numerous
commendations, the streets of Chicago, became too much.
We get spit on. We get things thrown at us, you know, you, theyre
fighting with us. People are protesting, calling us names and not just
the protestors, said the retired officer. But youve got the people
who are supposed to have our back in government.""

Unfortunately, Chicago is just a sample of what is happening all over
the nation. What is the Left's answer to this debacle? CRT and the
1619 Project.
