1) Our police commissioner met secretly with some gang leaders, warning them that they would personally be held accountable if their members continue to act violently.
2) Some aldermen denounced the meeting as bargaining with "terrorists".
3) Some self-proclaimed gang members complained to the press about what they saw as the commissioner's intimidating tactics.
4) Parents of murdered Chicago children expressed outrage at the gang members' complaints.
Most of our murders here occur in dangerous neighborhoods, and are gang-related. Often innocent bystanders are hit. I suppose it's mostly turf wars, vendettas, the usual gang stuff.
As usual, a code of silence
protects the gang violence.
