Are Cops In Chicago Behind Many Of The Shootings That Are Blamed On Gang Violence?

http://melanoidnation.org/are-cops-in-chicago-behind-many-of-the-shootings-that-are-blamed-on-gang-violence/

This past Memorial Day weekend, many mainstream media outlets reported that 56 people were shot and a dozen died in Chicago. No arrests have been made, reports say.

For years there have been rumors and speculation about many of the killings that have occurred in Chicago. Many people in the Melanoid community suspect that police officers are really the ones behind some of these shootings. Chicago has become to go-to deflection talking point for white supremacists (and white supremacist supporters) who use the alleged “Black on Black” violence in Chicago to justify the violence and mistreatment of Melanoid people around the country.

So when we see these recurring reports coming out of Chicago every holiday weekend reporting that a certain “record” number of people were killed or shot over a three day period,and no arrests were made,this raises many red flags with some in the community.

It’s not a stretch of the imagination to suspect that law enforcement in Chicago could carry out such corrupt deeds because Chicago police has had a long history of corruption. And when it comes to white police officers interacting with Black citizens,the corruption is oftentimes excused,ignored or covered up. Recently, several stories have come out about corrupt cops in Chicago and their racial attacks on Melanoid citizens.

For all the evidence offered, it could be a band of marauding kittens or Canadians.

It's pointless (other than being click bait) to put out an article like this. The author tosses out an explosive question, offers no evidence, and is trying to churn up support by appealing to fear. How is this significantly different than Republicans fearing Jade Helm?
