13. I know Chicago. The majority of the gun violence here is gang related, and in certain parts of town.

I have no problem with Federal agents, Nat. Guard, etc., patrolling the streets of these communities.
Another issue is the crooked Chicago cops who work with the gangs. They exist. Here's one example from several years back. There are many more like him.

Some of the shit that happens here would not happen without police cooperation, or at least a blind eye. Find them and remove them.
The agents I mentioned should start hitting the street level drug drug sales operations as well.


The Chicago police know who the "problem children" are. Why aren't they removing the problems from the streets?
Life can be made very difficult for the shit heads tearing these communities up without any serious Constitutional issues.
The problem is, nobody in Washington, or the CPD, seems to have the courage.
