I do see the Mayor and Governor doing nothing about the 20 to 40 shootings that every weekend in Chicago and have been going back years. I see them caring more about political posturing than the safety of the residents. I see them ordering a non response when fellow officers, surrounded and under siege, call for help. I see interviews with regular people who live in the violent neighborhoods begging for someone to help them. Last of all, I see the dems on the wrong side of yet another 80-20 issue.

“You see” a lot when it comes to Chicago, yet you turn a blind eye to the reality of the situation. The Trump administration’s actions sending unrequested armed militia to Chicago has nothing to do with crime and everything to do with petty, vindictive behavior.

According to 2024 FBI data, here are the top 10 cities with the highest rates of violent crimes per 100,000 people. Please note that Chicago, Portland, and LA didn’t make the list of both red and blue states:

Memphis, TN: 2,501.3
Detroit, MI: 1,781.3
Baltimore, MD: 1,606.2
Houston, TX: 1,148.2
Nashville, TN: 1,124.1
Denver, CO: 993.0
Washington, D.C.: 925.9
Philadelphia, PA: 908.7
Indianapolis, IN: 877.9
Phoenix, AZ: 799.6

Chicago rated 29 for violent crime rate. Portland ranked 72 for violent crime rate. LA has a lower violent crime rate than Miami.

It is ignorant to think these cities are being targeted because of violent crimes. They are being targeted because they are in predominantly Democrat states.

The facts reveal the truth.

I do not condone any violent crime, but Trump insidious and nefarious behavior in dividing America (blessed by Republicans) is a far greater threat to America than the violent crimes in any American city.
