Wonder if they are still mocking the sheriff who said people need to learn to protect themselves? Unfortunately that isn't an option in Chicago.

To free up additional patrol officers, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy has instructed officers not to respond to lesser crimes such as vehicle theft, garage burglary, or crime where the offender is no longer at the scene.

The move will free up 44 officers per day to respond to more serious offenses. The 911 calls are being transferred to the Chicago PD's Alternate Response Section, staffed by officers on light duty. Police reports will be taken over the phone. If necessary, evidence technicians will be assigned later, reports the Chicago Sun-Times.

The Chicago Police Department is also in the midst of transferring 200 officers to patrol from administrative duties to stem the city's violence by the end of March. In January, the city recorded 43 murders, including 15-year-old band majorette Hadiya Pendleton.

The department will use the additional officers to saturate areas where trouble is brewing, reports the Chicago Tribune.

I can't comprehend why anyone is still there. You can be virtually anywhere else in the nation and do better for yourself.

Well, for one...I'm working up here right now. I'm staying in my RV at a park less than 1/4 mile inside Illinois state line, which is in Chicago's city limit. I work 3 miles away in Whiting, Indiana. I can guarantee one thing for sure...I'll be outta here as soon as the project is thru with me!

You can not believe the crap on the local news stations up here. It blows my mind how ignorant these koolaid drinkers are! Definitely the type of freaks that think they'd be better off with a pair of scissors in their hand when the SHTF! I'm pretty sure you just can't fix stupid! You just need to slap them upside the head!

Well, at least they HOPE they're no longer at the scene.

Guess the homeowner can go poking around the bushes at 2:15 am with a baseball bat or a golf club..."Are you gone? Are you gone?"
