CHICAGO — In light of new headlines showing that not only would Mayor Brandon Johnson plan on cancelling Chicago’s contract with ShotSpotter (conveniently AFTER Democrats converge on the city for the Democratic National Convention this summer), it was revealed that the Mayor made the announcement without a signed deal on the table. ShotSpotter has since rejected the Mayor’s offer, leading to the potential for the service that geolocates gunshots by acoustics to be turned off as of midnight on Friday. 

Chicago Democrats have been driving soft on crime policies that are making the city less safe, a theme Sean Morrison expounded on in the Chicago Tribune this week. 

Take a look at excerpts from Sean’s piece below and find the full article HERE.

Chicago Tribune: Sean Morrison: We can help put an end to Illinois Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies at the polls
“Here is a better idea. Let’s enforce our laws. Let’s punish people who commit crimes, and let’s make sure we give our police officers the tools they need to keep our neighborhoods safe. We don’t need barricades. We need better leadership.

Cook County is run completely by Democrats. It is their bad leadership and their bad policies that are making our communities less safe.

Their soft-on-crime policies are destroying our communities, and the people most hurt by their bad leadership are the very people they supposedly are trying to help.

If stores shut down because of theft, what happens to the residents who rely on those stores, especially on the South Side?

Who is looking out for Chicagoans? Certainly not Cook County Democrats. They are more worried about the rights of criminals than the innocent victims of crime that their policies have enabled.”
