In reply to the discussion: My cousin wrote this on my fb page about my post on Trayvon [View all]JH19059
(90 posts)Let me help out here. First the Majority of murders happening in Chicago are mostly gang related and the victims for the most part are not the most upstanding citizens of Chicago. The victim and suspect knew each other. So the outrage while present for these murders are not high because A. It's criminal on criminal and B. the police are did/or doing a thorough investigation and in MOST cases the suspect has been caught and charged accordingly. Also if u look at Chicago's murder rate from a decade prior it was MUCH higher than it is now. SO don't believe the HYPE. Heck When I came on the job 15 yrs ago we had over 800 murdered in one year and some years it reached over 900. In the Zimmerman case this WAS NOT case. The Sanford police treated Zimmerman as though he was a police officer just involved on duty shooting. This was completely unacceptable. They took his BS story for the truth and left it at that. The outrage over the Trayvon Martin murder was that the murderer was never treated as a SUSPECT from the beginning! Hell the police never even handcuffed him! This is what we refer to as suspect control. They let him control the interview and crime scene scenario instead of developing THEIR OWN THEORY as to what happened. AND lastly your response to your cousin should be .."why should it matter cause you obviously could care less about them...."
