That's the only reason we can see for speaking this tripe out loud:
Newly anointed Snelling takes over a depleted department – down nearly 1,500 officers from just a few years ago – and a city frustrated by frequent flashes of lawlessness. From dangerous drifting by showboats to young people taking over downtown streets, some committing crimes, and officers looking on apparently powerless to stop it does concern Snelling.
“There is a way to stop it and that approach is to be more aggressive and I intend to do that,” he said.
When asked what a more aggressive approach by officers looks like, Snelling replied, “That means doing what it takes.”
Wait....they're admitting we're down 1,500? That means it's probably closer to 2,500.
But seriously Uncle Lar? (we're trying out a new nickname, based on WLS Larry Lujack and his famous "Animal Stories" radio bit). "...doing what it takes"?
- “There are onlookers who believe you can talk these people into
leaving. They’re not going to leave,” Snelling added. “So it takes a
little more aggressive behavior from our police officers to stop it.”
Whoa whoa whoa. What??? Now we know he's high....or drunk. We haven't talked like that in years....not without two or three whiskeys in us.
Have you seen the States Attorney's office Lar? Have you seen the malfeasance, crime coddling, anything to avoid prosecuting an actual criminal Crimesha? Cops spit on, battered, run over with stolen squad cars fighting for a tiny measure of justice? Or how Felony Murder charges are dropped to pleas?
Or how cop killers sentenced to six-hundred years are about to be released.
And that's just the police side of it. Regular citizens know the game is rigged against the victims and they're not even bothering to make reports. All the "crime is down" bullshit should be rewritten as "reported crime is down." At least you'd be telling the truth.
While a significant surge in carjackings is somewhat subsiding this
year, car thefts are up 68% over last year and 231% higher than
2019. While several crimes captured on video may contribute to a sense
of fear, Snelling admits it’s more than a perception problem.
“To sit here and say, ‘We don’t have a crime problem,’ I’d be lying
through my teeth,” Snelling said. “I won’t do that. I believe in
transparency. Let’s tell the truth. We can’t resolve any problems until
we tell the truth. The truth is we have a crime problem here. Is it
exacerbated through the media and social media? Absolutely.”
So....no syrup on shit pancakes? Or was that your temporary predecessor? We get so confused with the same BS being spouted by so many different tools.
You aren't impressing us Lar. And quite frankly, you're dooming us at Federal Court with this "aggressive" talk.
