My daughter and I were playing in a park on Greenview Ave. near Thorndale at about 5:30pm, having left the Dominick's store on Broadway just North of Thorndale a few minutes before. 2 police cars raced past the park, sirens blazing. If the chase had continued South on Greenview, we would have witnessed it firsthand. Thanks, thugs, for the nice neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteThat must have been extremely frightening you. Especially, since your daughter was with you.
ReplyDeletewe have a new mayor and a new alderman let's hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteRahm & Harry will not put up with this any longer. Landlords renting to these thugs need to be held accountable...you have drug dealing and gangs living in your building..you lose that building. The CPD needs to start with the raids NOW and start confiscating, arresting and shutting down this crap.
ReplyDeleteRAHM, PUT THOSE 2000 COPS ON YOU PROMISED AS SOON AS YOU GET IN OFFICE!
Haha, you think Rahm is going to keep his campaign promises. That's cute.
ReplyDeleteHe KNOWS we need the extra cops so maybe that might be the one he keeps.
