Chicago tried a Trump-style surge to stop crime a decade ago, and it worked — but Dem leaders canned it because of 'optics'
Alex Oliveira


Chicago experimented with using federal agents and a flood of cops to tackle crime nearly a decade ago, and it saved lives.

But Dem city leaders canned the program, and didn’t ask for more help because they feared the “optics” would ruin their careers, according to a prosecutor who helped plan the crime-fighting push.

The Windy City flooded its three most dangerous districts with extra Chicago cops and agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and the US Marshals during a single weekend in November 2016 as part of an experimental crime crackdown.

Crime must be profitable for Dems.  Otherwise, why would they allow it?

Fun Fact:  Chicago had become the city with the highest murder and crime rate in the country setting records in 2016 and 2017 and a record over a three year span from 2016-2018. Mayor Rahm Emanuel has been quoted as saying that Chicago does not have a problem with crime and violence.
