Swat Teams Move Into Chicago

[crimenthusiast]

More overnight shootings happening here in Chicago. Last weekend alone, they are saying that there were 27 reported shootings. Our Mayor is authorizing the use of semi-automatic weapons for police officers....great, trigger happy cops getting high powered assualt weapons.

I realize that criminals are armed with high powered weapons, but is this really necessary? I can see the Mayor instituting a lock down soon. It is really insane when you have 3 shootings happening overnight.

no shit Nurse....I think the city needs to do something, and they need to do it now. If they let this continue, they will be in a position where they won't be able to fight it. Maybe bigger guns are the answer. If a dumb ass gets his head blown off while commiting a violent crime, I won't be sad.
