Chicago police are cracking down on prosecutors for letting violent criminals walk the streets [VIDEOS]

So far this year, the Chicago Police Department has reported that 127 minors have been victims of gun violence in the city. Superintendent Larry Snelling expressed great concern about the situation, calling it unbearable and unacceptable for everyone in the city.

The recent fatal shooting of a seven-year-old boy outside his West Side apartment has added to the distressing toll. According to Snelling, the tragic incident occurred when the boy left his residence to visit a neighbor next door in broad daylight at around three in the afternoon.

Stressing the urgency of the situation, Snelling stressed: “This was not a situation where the parents did not know where their child was. This child was leaving his residence.”

Tragically, of the 127 children shot in the city this year, 17 have lost their lives. The police superintendent urged prosecutors to take decisive action to keep violent criminals off the streets, with a strong stance against repeat offenders who are allowed to roam free.

Expressing frustration at the current scenario, Snelling emphasized, “This is not only frustrating for the Chicago Police Department. It's not only frustrating when we know we've arrested someone who committed a violent act and he's out again. It's frustrating for members of our community.”

Underscoring the critical need for proactive measures, Snelling asserted the importance of prosecuting those arrested for violent crimes and noted that law enforcement focuses extensively on places with the highest levels of violent crime.

“This is the harsh reality we are living, and it is time for decisive action to deal with this intolerable situation,” remarked the police superintendent.
