Chicago hate crime

If CPD has half the brains an agency that old should have, they should have already filed for a CDW for all their phones to include text/data. They can delete all they want, won't make any difference so long as the carriers don't F up.

About a dozen search warrants have now been issued, including ones for Smollett's financial and phone records, and detectives are waiting for those records to come back.

 

Trump supporters committing racially motivated attacks.
A crime so rare, one must be manufactured.
Way to prove a point Jussie!
I love watching TDS sufferers own themselves...

 

The community leaders are actually screaming about the resouces. They are complaining about how much manpower is being put into this vs. all the murders. Now, some of that might just be to change the narrative, but it is still the right. In the end though, you really can't blame the CPD for putting a bunch of manpower on this. If they didn't they would have been completely grilled in the national scene. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

 

I would be surprised to learn CPD have spent alot, JS made it too easy. But factor in USPS, FBI, grand jury prep, and the media interface, it has to above the average casework.

 

It's probably not so much spending money as it is having people working on it who could have been working on other things.
Unless they weren't all that busy to begin with.

 

Whoa, you mean they pay the detectives.

 

Someone does, and they expect results, dammit.

 

Not only that, the racism has to be imported from another country...

 

I believe the brothers are citizens on Nigerian descent, not foreign born.

 

So you are saying this is headed to the 9th district where it will be handled like he shop lifted a candy bar.

 

True, but it does show he has priors and was willing to lie to the police. I am guessing since he had no identification, he gave a false name.

 

Chicago averages a shooting every two hours and a murder every 12 hours
plus many robberies a day so I bet they had better things for those
detectives to do. I think they only solved something like 17% of the murders
last year. They're busy.

 

So it just one big CPD not like there are homocide task groups, crimes against property groups, or even celebs that file false reports task groups? I would think the department is busy with crimes against persons but still would guess they did not form a team to solve it but used normal practice. Maybe some extra hours but nothing excessive.
