In The Last Two Years, The Homicide Rate Has Exploded In Chicago; Continues To Trend Down In NYC

Holy crap.

Former Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy — who was fired last year amid controversy over the police shooting of an unarmed teen — said criticism of policing methods by local officials there had left cops “hamstrung.” 

“They’re not getting out of their cars and stopping people. That’s because of all the politics here,” said McCarthy, a former NYPD cop. 

“In Chicago, performance is less important than politics. It’s called ‘The Chicago Way,’ and the results are horrific.”
