The above were all tweeted in less than an hour. This is no way for human beings to live! From just 2 districts in Chicago. I don't get prioritizing BLM demands in this context, I really don't, it's wack, delusional, it makes no sense unless it's projection. You want the right to kill each other without any state interference, is that it?

It's a 4 door black sedan. The victim is in a Jeep. They were saying this Jeep could possibly be the one involved in the shooting earlier. A Jeep was seen by witnesses before this near Montrose and Kedzie shooting at another car that was shooting back. #ChicagoScanner

just ran across a small phenomenon, this white Christian rock guy trying to parlay a tense situation into other kinds of street action"Worship protests"

Almost every police officer that showed up in Chicago last night received prayer (many of them asked for it), swayed with music and left with a smile.

Not only were people saved, healed, baptized and filled with hope, but PEACE & JOY filled the streets of Chicago!#LetUsWorship

In reply to Further excerpt:

and I would like to point out that I have seen other big city police chiefs complain about this same point this summer, earlier release of felons than in the past due to Covid or changed laws

[...] Police Superintendent David Brown said Monday. Labor Day weekend saw similar numbers.

Brown expressed frustration that some people arrested over the weekend had committed several felonies in the past.

"Violent offenders need to spend more time in jail in this city," he said. "They need to be held more accountable [....]

while many BLM protests have promoted reduction or even elimination of incarceration and not just for minor offenses

it's a major point of contention with many cops

In reply to 'There's not a comparable year': Homicides up 52% in Chicago, the majority people of color

Further excerpt:

Thousands of Chicagoans have lost their jobs amid the pandemic, which has disproportionately affected people of color in the city. There have been more than 75,000 cases of COVID-19 in Chicago, and nearly 3,000 people have died, with three in four deaths among people who are Black or Latinx, according to city data Tuesday.

Demeatreas Whatley, a violence interrupter with the organization Cure Violence in the South Side neighborhood of Grand Crossing, which has historically seen high rates of shootings, said that his community feels "on edge" this year.

He said that because bars and lounges are closing earlier than usual due to COVID regulations, people are congregating on blocks late at night, making them easier targets for retaliatory shootings, where bystanders have been caught in the crossfire.

"People are not trying to go in the house; they congregate on these blocks," Whatley said. "The way it is now, these guys, if they get word that three of their guys are getting tooled with on a particular block, they don’t care – they'll shoot the whole block up."
