CHICAGO, ILLINOIS: In a candid conversation with CNN on December 27, Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson defended his decision to earmark $500,000 for reparations in the city's latest budget, emphasizing that tackling the root causes of the record violent crime epidemic demands a robust and multifaceted government response.
 
Addressing the surge in violent crime rates in Chicago, Mayor Johnson asserted during the 'CNN This Morning' interview with anchor Poppy Harlow that a comprehensive government effort, symbolized by the "full force of government," is essential to effectively address the complex issue.

Harlow, citing Chicago Police Department statistics revealing a 17% increase in overall violent crime from the previous year, questioned Johnson on the city's safety outlook for 2024. "Are Chicagoans going to be safer in 2024?" the anchor asked.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
