Monique Explains

Of course, she ignores "Rule #1 of Holes - when you are in one, stop digging":

• After expressing her own belief that Chicago police are doing their best to quell street violence, Davis says when she spoke on a Detroit radio station about Chicago's high percentage of unsolved murders, she was only repeating what some people in her district believe about some of the killings.
  
  "Some people in my community believe the police may be involved in some of these murders," said Rep. Davis.

So she's defending her comments with the excuse, "it's only what I've heard."

McStreetlights makes a lukewarm statement, once again, pandering to the idiots who are way more entrenched here than he is:

• "I think it's absurd, I think it's inflammatory. I think it's also insulting," said Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy.
  
  Supt. McCarthy dismissed the Davis observations and said they were not worth repeating or more discussion....

Wow. Thanks so much for your support Garry. You inspire us.

How about leveling a broadside at this career politician and common criminal who refused for years to pay rent on her office and stole (permanently borrowed) a sculpture worth a few tens of thousands of dollars in her office and refusing to return it to the rightful owners?

Maybe something along the lines of "These divisive comments slandering the hard-working men and women of the Chicago Police Department cannot stand during these trying times. We are attempting to work with the community on so many different levels and words such as these do nothing to bridge the gaps between the police and the people they serve. Perhaps if the Representative from the south side of Chicago would care to spend a little more time confronting the culture of silence and the callous disregard for human life, the crimes she laments might be solved and the community she also serves might find itself welcomed into the society of decent human beings."

But then we realize that Channel 7 isn't interested in solving anything and "reporter" Charles Thomas buys into the story that Monique is selling:

• ...but South Side resident Allen Lee says he's heard the rumors. "I ain't going to say it is, I am not going to say it ain't, cause I've seen some cops do some wicked stuff, man," said Lee.
  
  And Karen the hairdresser says she hears clients all the time talk about unsolved murders the cops may have committed.
  
  "People do think that, a lot of people think that. A lot of people in these neighborhoods like the Englewood neighborhood. We have clients from all over. I don't think she said anything out of the ordinary. That's a conversation that people have," said Karen, who did not provide a last name, a South Side hairdresser.
  
  Davis says the incident is proof that the public image of Chicago police is still not recovered from high-profile brutality cases, and that she should not be condemned for saying what people think.
  
  "I was repeating what has been said to me many times by the people of the community that I represent," said Rep. Davis.
  
  Davis says police need to work more on improving their image in her community.
  
  ABC7 talked to more than one person, several people actually, who told us they'd had discussions of the kind Rep. Davis described.

You probably did Chuckie. And the fact that you give them a platform proves you have no desire to shake them of this perverted illusion that they hold - that an entire neighborhood can believe the police go around planting guns, dope and committing murder in this day and age of electronic media without leaving a single clue to their actions - and a black attorney general appointed by a black president would permit this to happen?

Welcome to another 60 years of living with your hands out, begging for a scrap from the table while doing exactly zero to earn it and voting for the Machine that keeps your people in thrall.
