Shouldn’t the shooting be a bigger story than this, Chicago Police?
Yesterday, on the Paseo Boricua in the Humboldt Park community of @ChicagoCAPS14, Superintendent @ChiefDavidBrown joined members of the community for the Puerto Rican People's Day Parade to celebrate both Puerto Rican culture and community.
