Laura Washington writes: 'There is an uncomfortable kernel of truth within Willie Wilson's comments. In Chicago, Black people are killing each other and getting away with it.'
noted last week, Wilson’s “rabbit” comments deserve condemnation. Criminal suspects cannot be hunted down like animals. Police must use their training and skills to properly apprehend and hand over suspects for prosecution.
Last year, there were 695 homicide victims in Chicago. Of those, more than 3 out of every 4 were African American, according to data analyzed by WTTW-Ch. 11. Nearly 87% of the victims were male. One in three victims were in their 20s. The police are charged with protecting us, by stopping crime lawfully and humanely. They should be held accountable when they don’t.
