In Chicago, Crime goes DOWN at the same rate as it's going UP! *(KEWL!)*

Chicago gang shootings go on as Mayor Emanuel boasts crime at 'record low' | US news | The Guardian:
October 14, 2015

Chicago’s yearly homicide total has in recent years been about half the 40-year high of 943 that was reached in 1992, thanks largely to a sharp drop in domestic murders. Yet the number of killings linked to gangs has consistently been higher than back then, according to figures compiled by Professor Wesley Skogan, a crime and policing expert at the city’s Northwestern University. FBI director James Comey said during a visit this week that Chicago had a “more ingrained and sophisticated street gang structure than many American cities”, such as New York, which was once equally feared but now has a murder rate about a quarter as high. “They’re old, they’re embedded in a part of the culture in this city, and it’s an enormous challenge,” he said.

Okay, Mayer Rom says that Crime in Chicago is going down, right?
Now, let's compare that press release to this one:

Chicago mayor blames cops for spike in crime | Fox News Video:

Oct. 14, 2015 - 0:42 - Mayor Rahm Emanuel says 'fetal' force the reason for increased crime

(Remember, that's a Fox video)
No, I don't understand what a 'fetal' force is, either; but okay ... crime is going UP?   On the same day it's going DOWN?   But one thing is for DAMN sure ... it's not your fault!!!

Welcome to Chicago, Mr. Mayor; you're a natural-born Chicago Politician!

You're blaming crime on the cops ... who you don't have the money to pay a living wage.

And so ...

The more than $700 million in tax increases is a band aid. It will kick the can down the road a few years - until the next crisis arises. Then, lacking the will to cut the budget or the imagination to avoid a tax increases, the same "solution" to the problem will be applied and the viscious  cycle will continue.
