He is not alone all mayors, governors, and politicians alike, why because this is an national problem.

I absolutely agree that the real problem is that these criminals are released back into society and to these poor neighborhoods and they keep doing the same thing. Then people say "I would never live there". The truth is that this cop didn't live there and look at what happened to him. No one pays attention when it's a poor Black person and they say it's just the crime but when the shoe is on the other foot it's different!!! Sounds like a decent person (the cop). Maybe now things will change but I doubt it!

Its got nothing to do with that. did you pay attention to the story where they said tate was a repeat offender? did you see the part of the story where the family asked for the mayor to hold people of crimes responsible and stop letting them out? once again you people and yes i will say you people only because im not white and dont fear being called a racist for saying whats right, you look the other way when its a black person that kills an innocent person. This is a black community problem that needs to be addressed from within but black people dont know how to be a community. you are in it for yourselves.

[@jsacodes916]

Makes no difference. The Mayor is a failure. He doesn’t support Law Enforcement. And that is precisely why they didn’t want him there. Which is also why Chicago should not want Johnson in their city.

Anyone who has a question about whether the Mayor and Governor support the good people of Chicago, here’s your answer. A fine man who made the ultimate sacrifice trying to protect the public and the Mayor and Governor refuse to change laws to protect the citizenry. This should have never happened. Chicago is under siege by criminals. They don’t like the optics of supporting the good, tax paying citizens and the police. Absolutely disgusting. And I can guarantee you that were the Chicago Mayor or Governor being criminalized, they would be the first to call the police for protection. What c o wa rds.
