They say that a recent report showed that now the average policeman in Chicago has given up.  Their main aim is to get through their shift and interact with the public as little as possible.  No one wants to end up as a media clip on the evening news.  No one wants to be paraded before the media gauntlet for just trying to do their job.

So the police just stay away from trouble.  They hear something on the radio and go the other way.  Who can blame them?  Way to go media you've helped make Chicago a much more dangerous place.
