4. just to keep it real

i do not approve of the war on drugs. i wish it would end tomorrow.
but it is a fact that folks are shooting at each other here in chicago over who owns which corners. just a sad fact.
there is no anti-loitering laws any more, so the only thing left to break up the gangbangers is to crack them for their weed.
from what i know, if there are multiple petty offenses, loud music being a fave, they will crack you. they think its their job to take them in and let them sit in jail a while, knowing the judge will toss it out.

the chicago cops are bigots, and since there is no problem whatsoever seeing which cops are still writing these tickets, it is really time for a head or 2 to roll.
cops are a big issue in my ward. we have plenty of trouble, but are a far, far left area.

i think that we will be pressing the mayor on this issue in the upcoming election if he doesnt move on it before then
tho he might.
