And Chicago shows us how to increase the crime rate....keep the police from chasing armed robbers...

[2aguy]

The Chicago police department initiated a new policy......... they have 11 pages of instructions on when they are allowed to pursue violent felons.......if they do not chase, they will not be punished.....if they chase, any mishap will be on their heads.......

Robberies?

The Chicago Police Department introduced a new vehicle pursuit policy in August 2020. That order provides officers with 11 pages of instructions that they must consider when deciding if a vehicle should be pursued.

The order specifically prohibits Chicago officers from pursuing anyone for a traffic offense other than DUI. And it states explicitly that CPD will not discipline any member for ending a motor vehicle pursuit. If they continue a pursuit, though, they’ll be held responsible for anything that goes wrong.
------
Near West’s robberies are up 50% this year. Last week, the district had 26 robberies, up 100% from the same week last year. In the 28 days ending July 30, the district had 94 robberies, up 77% from 2022.

Shakespeare had 12 robberies last week, up 50% from the same week last year. For the 28 days ending July 30, there were 56 cases, up 60% from the same period in 2022.

Another night of armed robberies and Chicago cops are again ordered *not* to chase the offenders

Chicago police supervisors ordered cops not to chase a carload of armed robbers that had just committed five holdups overnight.

Why am i not surprised with the idiocy of Shitcago.....

Sounds pretty reasonable to me. Chasing someone over a traffic violation sounds a bit stupid. Too much risk to pedestrians and bystanders.

Shithead……they aren’t allowing them to catch armed robbery crews hitting multiple targets in the same neighborhood….

The policy you quoted was about traffic violations, not robberies.

Robberies are not done by car.

You didn't read the link...you moron...

The robberies began around 11:35 p.m. Tuesday in the 1500 block of West Monroe. Two people were robbed there.

Just before midnight, four men stepped out of the black Kia SUV and tried to rob a man in the 1700 block of West Carroll. They pushed him, pistol-whipped him, and drove away without getting anything.

Moments later, the group robbed a 20-year-old man a few blocks away in the 700 block of North Ashland.

The victim was sitting in a rideshare vehicle when three offenders walked up to the car, and one of them climbed inside, according to a CPD report. After taking the man’s valuables and cash, the group fled in a black Kia. Police said the victim did not notice any weapons.

Next stop: The 1400 block of West Blackhawk. They tried to rob a man there shortly after midnight, a Chicago police report said. But he didn’t have anything worth stealing, so they left empty-handed.

Another man was robbed near Cortez and Wood in Ukrainian Village. He told police that four armed men forced him to surrender his phone password, then escaped in a black car.

CPD officers told dispatchers they spotted the robbers’ car in the 2000 block of West Division in Wicker Park around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Supervisors in CPD’s Shakespeare (14th) and the neighboring Near West (12th) Districts ordered their units to refrain from engaging with the vehicle. And the crew got away.

I don't read your links because they are batshit crazy.

Car chases are dangerous... and a few robberies was not a good enough reason to engage in one if they already had the license information.

The license number on the stolen car? You idiot.......and they will eventually kill someone....

Chicago will be first to Decriminalize Pedo / NAMBLA activities ( Beating Sacramento and Albany )

Again, they didn't kill anyone on that spree, and a car chase through crowded streets on a Tuesday night was an unnecessary risk.
