Obviously there are major issues here, but we don't have a complete breakdown of law and order. What we have is, especially concerning the recent robberies in the NW side, a roving gang of thugs who need to be arrested and locked up for years. Question is, will CPD ever find them? Do they care? Instead of blaming the mayor, how about we start focusing on issues with our damned police leadership?

I don't see the problem with comparing stats with our peer cities. None of our world class peer cities has the crime reputation we do. Chicago literally has more homicides than LA and New York combined, why? Complete embarrassment. And lol at thinking there's law and order in this city. Go look at the scanner accounts on Twitter, this city is basically Gotham at this point. Criminals in Chicago have ZERO fear of leadership or police. Throwing bricks at them, laughing at them on video, taking them on high speed chases, etc.
And yes Lightfoot has major blame to take. She has been and absolute disaster and the day she is kicked out of office and (hopefully) replaced by Vallas, who wants to return law and order to our streets will be the day Chicago slowly starts gaining back a good reputation. Get cops out of cars and get them patrolling blocks, get CPD on every station, utilize broken windows policing, etc. Look up Chicago on google, all you see is crime. Ask anybody about what they think about Chicago first thing they'll probably think of is crime. Atleast Rahm/Daley kept the northside and downtown squeaky clean. Now with Lighfoot, the savages are destroying our downtown and "safe" neighborhoods.
And what hyperbole? Chicago is absolutely crime ridden. The only people who say otherwise are brain dead leftist who think opening up community centers and opening jails will decrease crime LOL. They love saying "But Chicago has less crime than Detroit and Baltimore and St Louis!" Um okay? Why are you comparing a world class city to those shitty rust belt dumps? Compare Chicago to NY, LA, Boston, SF, DC, Miami, Seattle, Phoenix, Atlanta, etc. The only large city I'd say is worse is Philly. I love this city but its the truth. Vallas has my vote. Crime and public safety is BY FAR the number 1 issue with voters this election.
