Homicides in Chicago this year double same period last year

That's bad...But I'd love to ask the Liberals that are all in favor of stricter gun laws...How's this working for ya? Would you go walking around Chicago at night? Strictest Gun laws around with even more murders than last year if that's possible. More proof the liberal gun restrictions don't work...Some one needs to send this to President Obama and lets see his excuses for this.

I can't speak for any other city, but in the 80's and 90's when the cops were out of the cars and actually "walking the beat", they got to know who was who and who did what. In doing so, you allow the community to interact with you personally, and as you learn them, they learn about you too. It would surprise many that even those in the ghettos share many of the same values that those in the suburbs and higher income areas do. Community policing is a "fad" word that should be used more often in practical application. But another thing that was happening back then was the police actually lived in some of the areas, so there was a presence there. If the community believes you're there for them, they'll be there for you. Not sure if anyone has seen "End of Watch" but there is a scene where a banger talks smack to the cops. He stops gets out, and he takes off his badge and gun. Both fight until the cop finally wins. Now that might not seem "real", but if you look at it closely, the cop earned the respect of the banger. And didn't have any problems from him after that. Now you'll hardly see a cop out of the car. There have been notable instances like the female cop who had the dance off with a kid in DC. Or the Prince Georges County cops in MD who formed a Go Go band, who played in uniform, and were REAL good. I think we need to get the cops out of the cars again, and back on the beats.
