Chocolate City: The Best African American Blog

This well written article by Mark J. Konkol and Frank Main, staff reporters of the Chicago Sun-Times discusses why killing in Chicago is not expected to slow down or stop any time soon. Simply put; too many murder cases remain unsolved.

According to Kokol and Main, the Chicago Police Department’s batting average for catching shooters has fallen to an alarmingly LOW. Police seek charges against a suspect, but the state’s attorney won’t prosecute without more evidence. Other times, the shooter is dead, or the victim refuses to testify after identifying the shooter.

The “exceptional” clearances have made gangsters to believe that they are above the law. In most cases, they do rule the street! Just Monday night, gunmen randomly opened fired at people standing at a South Side bus stop. The shooting happened at a Chicago Transit Authority bus turnaround on the city's South Side. Police say the victims were a 20-year-old woman and eight males ranging in age from 16 to 31.
