Chicago Crime and Democratic Values.

The article discusses the increase in violent crime in Chicago and its potential implications for the Democratic Party. Despite claims that crime has decreased since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took office, the article argues that the crime spike that began with the George Floyd protests in 2020 has not been adequately addressed. The mayor of Chicago attributes the crime to racism and disinvestment in black communities, while the article suggests that these explanations may not fully account for the situation. The article also highlights the role of technology, such as social media and ShotSpotter, in addressing crime. Overall, the article raises questions about the effectiveness of Democratic policies in addressing crime and suggests that the issue may have broader implications if Kamala Harris becomes president.
