Chicago, which was given the title of 'm*rder capital of the world' for four straight years, has seen over 400 homicides this year.
Polls show 86% of African American and 82% of Hispanic communities want more police officers on the streets, directly opposing Mayor Johnson's plan to rid the city of law enforcement.
Johnsons full statement,
"Jails and incarceration"
"And law enforcement is a sickness that has not led to safe communities."
"I'm going work hard every single day"
"To protect the people who are caught up in violence"
"In this city Guess why?"
"You wanna know why Because the vast majority of them look like me"
"He doesn't talk black mayors about what it's"
"Like living in communities"
"That have been disinvested"
"So no"
"We're not gonna Succumb"
"To The sickness"
"And evil That Dr King warned us"
"About A generation ago"
