Kerik: How Trump Can End Chicago's Savage Crime Wave

Chicago's crime statistics are in for 2016 and the numbers are staggering: 4,331 people shot, 762 dead.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's sanctuary city, the nation's third largest, saw 1,100 more shooting incidents last year than it did in 2015, and homicides compared to 2015 (485) is the most substantial increase in 60 years.

Chicago's former top cop, Garry McCarthy, has charged that the actions of the radical group, Black Lives Matter, has led to more black deaths and prevented the Chicago Police from doing their jobs.

His controversial claim falls right in line with public statements made by FBI Director James Comey, who blamed the "Ferguson effect, where police officers are hesitant to confront suspects for fear of getting hit with excessive force or brutality."

Both McCarthy and Comey are right, but the real blame lies in the failed leadership of Rahm Emanuel, a mayor who has stood by and watched one person after another slaughtered in his streets, and has done virtually nothing.

In the summer of 1993, crime was rampant in New York City with mothers putting their children to bed in bathtubs to protect them from gunfire. It was a war zone. Close to 2,000 homicides that year.

After Rudy Giuliani was elected mayor in 1994, the NYPD implemented one of the most aggressive and comprehensive policing strategies in the country that focused on real time crime data collection, the immediate placement of police personnel in high crime areas, and an aggressive accountability program to ensure that police supervisors and management were succeeding in their goals.
