Democrats are tyrants, dictators, and oligarchs but not servants of the people.

At least three people, including two teenagers, have been killed in Chicago over the last two weeks in shootings that weren’t immediately reported by residents calling 911 and that occurred in neighborhoods previously covered by the city’s now-decommissioned ShotSpotter gunshot-detection system. ...
A recent data analysis by the Chicago Police Department found that during the first eight months of the year ShotSpotter alerts helped police make hundreds of arrests, recover hundreds of guns and thousands of bullet casings, and provide aid to more than 100 shooting victims, some of whom wouldn’t have otherwise received timely care.
The vast majority of Chicago aldermen supported keeping ShotSpotter and backed measures to keep the system, but Johnson argued that only the mayor has contracting power. ShotSpotter-backers accused Johnson of playing “Russian roulette with our constituents’ lives.”
Johnson officially terminated the city’s relationship with SoundThinking, ShotSpotter’s parent company, at 12:01 a.m. on September 23. ...
Alderwoman Monique Scott released a statement on Instagram calling for ShotSpotter to be reactivated after the 14-year-old boy was killed in her ward and no one promptly called 911.
“An ambulance could have been dispatched within minutes, but instead, a young man bled out on the street,” she wrote. “We are in a crisis, especially on the West Side. No one expects ShotSpotter to solve every crime, but it could have saved a life with a timely alert.”
