After misinformation about a police-involved shooting in Chicago, looters caused massive destruction in a city shopping district, with some even firing shots at police who were attempting to get the situation under control.
The city’s police superintendent spelled out why the looters felt emboldened, and it hits the progressive method of dealing with crime right between the eyes:
Brown says twice: Criminals took to the streets confident their would not be consequences for their actions.

It’s really as simple as that:
Superintendent David Brown: These looters acted the way they did because they feel emboldened by the lack of consequences of arrests in the past months.

Wow, is the mayor aware?
What gave them that idea? https://t.co/oS7QPosTaB

Right? But the mayor would rather insinuate that President Trump’s to blame for not supporting tighter gun control restrictions.
