Chicago — That Toddling Town
From Friday through dinnertime Sunday, we counted 50 shot, 8 of whom left this mortal world...
To date, 6 of the 1,245 individuals shot in Chicago have been by police, for a percentage of 0.0048192771 - four-tenths of one percent...
The number killed is 4 out of 212, for a percentage of 0.0188679245 - just under 2%.
Not just Chicago though. Since the summer of 2014, America has been confronted with an insurrectionist protest movement known as "Black Lives Matter", the inverse implication of which is 'White Lives Don't Matter', which claims that police officers are among the greatest threats—if not the greatest threat—to young black males. Heather Mac Donald challenges that narrative in the video below, explaining why proactive policing tactics, from stop-and-frisk to “broken windows,” constitute the greatest public policy success story of the last quarter century.
In addition to the proactive community policing, and maybe more importantly, a major contribution to the stability of our society has been the increase of the number of law-abiding citizens who are exercising their civil right to bear arms for the defense of personal safety and security.
