Weis: Police shift overdue :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Metro & Tri-State
Ladies and Gentleman, this article in short, is about a new dynamic in "Class Warfare".
The elephant in the room is why the "Least Crime Ridden Neighborhood" has the "Most" officers? It's just a simple answer of Black, Brown, and White. It's always been that way. The facts are in the numbers via personnel at such districts. So kudos Superintendent for stunning these oblivious alderman for telling the truth.
On another note, I do like the idea of an "auxiliary police force" consisting of retired officers. Maybe they should consider using a few military veterans in such a plan also. Sadly, such an idea will chaff the unions buttocks, and they will do everything within their power at resistance of such a deal being struck. I can hear the jokes now. People will call them Wal Mart Cops because of lower pay, while doing the same dangerous job. If you look at the other side of this coin, it could also be interpreted as the beginning of "private contractors" slinking into the city. Blackwater, oops, I meant Xe are probably rubbing its slimy hands together as we speak.
All in all, three decades is a long time for doing the right thing. Let's get together, figure out something practical, and not get into a class warfare thing okay?
