While many cities throughout the U.S. have been struggling with surging crime rates in the past two years, Chicago has stood out in particular.
The crisis that Chicago faces was once again made clear when one of the city's 911 dispatchers resigned and spoke out about the lack of support law enforcement receives from Mayor Lori Lightfoot and city officials.
Keith Thornton Jr. was a dispatcher but decided to resign to better "Advocate and get my voice out there" to talk about the crime crisis facing Chicago, he told Fox News.
"Constantly every week, every other day, they're saying that the stats are down with violent crime and people shot and homicides. Listen, being on the other side of the radio as a dispatcher in Chicago, I'm like, this is nonsense. I don't stand for that. This is wrong," he said.
Byron Sigcho-Lopez, the 25th Ward Alderman, called the mayor a "Phony reformer" whose actions contradict her campaign promise to "Bring in the light," the Chicago Sun Times reported.
John Catanzara, Jr., the president of the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police talked with Fox News at the end of July about the problems the city is facing.
While this is slightly down from the incredibly high crime statistics of 2020 and 2021, Chicago is still struggling with its police force.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
