Chicago Police Department Blamed For A Surge In Crime

[WhatInThe]

Chicago Police have been blamed for a recent surge in crime. Mayor says they have become 'fetal' more worried about consequences of a messy arrest shall we say do to the last year or two of highly publicized arrests gone bad.

Ummm, what about the actual criminals, those greedy selfish pieces of crap with little or no impulse who conduct daily business like a dog licking itself.

Heard one commentator says police are afraid of being filmed as much as anything. Not body cameras but a member of the public taking a cell phone video. I think Illinois has had several cases over the last few years where police argued the public the police should not be allowed to film police while they are conducting business, even an arrest in public.

If they are doing their jobs correctly... the WHY would they be afraid of being filmed? and YES the public should be allowed to film the police.. as I said.. if they are not doing anything wrong and making good arrests.. there should be no concern about cameras..
