From the NYT:
Violence Surges in Chicago Even as Policing Debate Rages On
By MONICA DAVEY MARCH 28, 2016
The word “even” in that headline is pretty funny. “Predictably” would be more logical than “even.”
… Chicago has long been troubled by violence, but murders and shootings have risen sharply this year. Violent crime remains below the levels of two decades ago, and criminologists caution against finding trends in only a few months of data. But City Hall, the police and community leaders are alarmed by the surge: As of Friday, 131 people had been murdered here in the first months of 2016, an 84 percent rise in homicides from the same period in 2015. There had been 605 shootings, nearly twice as many than this point last year.
The increase could hardly have come at a more difficult time. The city is at a pivotal moment for law enforcement, mired in a crisis over police conduct and discipline and over distrust of officers, particularly by African-American residents, who make up about one-third of Chicago’s population.
You know, this outburst of black on black killings isn’t some random fluke like the weather, it’s a direct result of last fall’s BlackLivesMatter agitation in Chicago and Obama Administration anti-police interventions, just like the pattern in St. Louis and Baltimore.
I’m sure we’ll soon see more learned articles about how there is no Ferguson Effect because, while homicides were up almost 17% overall in the fifty biggest cities from 2014 to 2015, crime wasn’t up in El Paso. So that proves there’s no general Ferguson Effect. Instead, the only thing that’s up significantly is black-on-black homicides in heavily black cities where there has been Soros-funded anti-law & order agitations. Science!
Doing a text search, I find no hits for “Ferguson” or “Black Lives Matter” or “Soros” in this article, but “Justice Department” does come up:
The Justice Department is scrutinizing the patterns and practices of the city’s police force; the mayor on Monday named an interim police superintendent to replace the department’s fired leader; and voters have rejected Cook County’s top prosecutor, defeating her in a primary on March 15. The release in November of a police video that showed a white officer shooting a black teenager, Laquan McDonald, 16 times caused longstanding anger about police conduct to boil over. …
Since January, officers have recorded 20,908 times that they stopped, patted down and questioned people for suspicious behavior, compared with 157,346 in the same period last year. Gun seizures are also down: 1,316 guns have been taken off the streets this year compared with 1,413 at this time last year.
In an unusual video address meant to reassure Chicago officers, John J. Escalante, who has been the interim superintendent, told the police, “We are aware that there’s a concern among the rank and file about not wanting to be the next YouTube video that goes viral.”
Dean Angelo, Sr., the president of the local police union, said public scrutiny had an effect on officers. “They’re being videotaped at every traffic stop,” he said.
But the drop in street stops by the police could be tied to a departmental change that took effect in January, requiring officers to fill out a far more detailed form for each one. The change was imposed after the American Civil Liberties Union raised questions about whether officers were targeting minorities in their stops. The department recently simplified the required paperwork, and the number of stops has since been on the rise, officials say.
Speaking of halcyon Oak Park v. homicidal Austin right across Austin Blvd.:
“I’m really tired of it, and tired of worrying,” said Gloria Johnson, 37, who serves food at a restaurant in Austin, a neighborhood where the authorities say violence has been particularly harsh. Like other parts of the West Side, Austin has long wrestled with economic distress, gangs and crime, and Ms. Johnson bears a long scar on her elbow from a bullet fired about a decade ago. “But it seems like this year is just the worst of the worst,” she said.

I’m seeing a pattern with some of our black inner cities and the Middle East. Without a strongman to oppress people, the ME seems to rise up in civil war and tribal strife to kill each other. In places like Chicago, without an oppressive police force to stop and frisk anyone looking suspicious, the gangs will maraud and rampage and kill each other.
There has a to be a happy medium between oppression and anarchy for these people. Am I dreaming?

C’est dommage.
People who live in violent places tend to become paranoid. People who are paranoid tend to blame their chosen victim group for the violence, namely their ‘oppressors.’ They do this because it’s too much of a psychological stressor to blame their own criminal relatives for the rise in crime.
Therefore, you’ll see a direct correlation between anti-racist hysteria and violent crime. “If the police didn’t oppress us so much, we’d be safe,” is their paranoid way of thinking.
Ha.

There is, but we only pass through as the pendulum swings.
I was reading an article about how Comcast refuses to enter certain Black neighborhoods in Chicago because they have had employees who were robbed at gunpoint.
I doubt Conmcast has this problem when they send their employees to a Polish neighborhood in Chicago.

Actually, at least part of it has been the weather. Black homicide rates are partly correlated to weather, and Chicago has been having an extremely mild winter.
Heating degree days the last 3 complete months this year: 2855. Prior two years: 3459 and 3996. That is almost 7 degrees warmer on the average day compared to last year.
She is brave and brilliant as always, thanks for linking.
Law & Order has several times dramatically driven home one aspect of the Ferguson Effect.
They regularly show officers responding to a call or making an arrest, and a large, jeering, crowd forming around them, with 15+ camera phones rolling in their faces. Is there any person who would not be less effective at their job with that going on?
Here is a win/win solution. Citing complaints about the police from Blacklivesmatter, pull all law enforcement from black neighborhoods and let nature take its course.
“The change was imposed after the American Civil Liberties Union raised questions about whether officers were targeting minorities in their stops.”
Officers should be targeting minorities in their stops, since the majority of criminal offenses are perpetrated by minorities who should be stopped before they commit more atrocities, and they are atrocities, not petty crimes. Chicago is a vile, corruption-infested city with little hope of redemption. It is painful to watch the city implode, knowing full well that the officials in charge, in their progressive policies, are simply hastening the day of total chaos and destruction. They will not, cannot, do what is necessary to turn the tide.
The word “even” in that headline is pretty funny. “Predictably” would be more logical than “even.”
Even the completely neutral “Violence Surges in Chicago as Policing Debate Rages On” has a damning effect they don’t want.
Related- Here in PA, Senator Pat Toomey is running against BLM, his ads are saying he “denounced the riots” and has some cop lady telling us that he’s a friend to law enforcement. Meanwhile the democrats ads are touting their records on “criminal justice reform” and one guy is bragging that he was the only DA to convict an on-duty cop for something or other. Pretty weird how far apart the 2 sides are
Dem voters must be idiots.
To keep supporting the rantings of their ignorant, or misguided, leadership.
Handcuff police, and black murders soar.
Open borders and welcome immigrants, equals increased crime and terrorism.
How and why do they keep ignoring these FACTS ?

Chaotic double pendulum explains my erratic golf swing.
How old is Soros?
Are his kids as Satanic as him?
Issue them all guns, then, don’t let them out of their areas.
So what’s the problem? The black community has spoken loud and clear that they prefer a hands off approach from law enforcement and so this is what they’ve gotten. The people have spoken. The extra casualties are just part of the price of doing business and the community is ok with that. The media reporting focuses on the homicide upsurge from the point of view of the victims and their families and dwells upon how terrible it is. However, the shooters aren’t aliens helicoptered in but are related to other members of the black community. A black is just as likely to be connected to a perp as well as to a victim and they wouldn’t want to see junior go to prison, hence the code of silence. A lot of people in the community are living off the proceeds of drug dealing or other criminal rackets.
Steve,
The newspapers outside Manhattan want to know when you will stop fetishizing the Grey Lady and direct your gaze toward other, no less deserving publications.
Are you aware of the extreme sensitivity in boardrooms across this great land, where the sunglasses of Soros don’t appear? Something must be done to restore the delicate balance in the journalism world, as editors are grumbling and feeling neglected. They’ve even been offering stringer positions to Haven Monahan!
Only being smothered with bowling shirts.
And of course the logic ends with “Whatever the reason, white liberals and their allies are never at fault.”

The main reason why blacks prefer to accuse whites than fellow blacks for all the problems of the black community is that whites are the ones who will listen and pay them some heed.
In contrast, a black accused by other blacks will just holler and pull out his gun.
Blacks demand sympathy and justice from whites because they can’t get any from their own kind.
I think I caught the NYT bug.
I’m clueless as to what kind of people might become murderous gang-bangers in Chicago and other big cities.
Totally clueless. I think maybe the police should pat down old white ladies for concealed weapons.
I think doing that may illegal under US law. Dominos faced legal issues because of not delivering to high crime neighbourhoods. They used a green light, yellow light and red light system, for driver safety, where for safe areas they delivered to the door, to risky areas they made deliveries to the curb and to really dangerous areas they didn’t deliver. Naturally due to disparate impact they got critisised for pizza redlining and eventually sued by the US justice department and settled. So now Dominos has to deliver to all areas or follow a onerous procedure if they don’t want to deliver.

Remember that due to Malaysia’s affimative action program for the native majority being primarily determined by whether they worship Islam means that if they get citizenship they would be eligible for affirmative action. Although apparently barriers remain towards making them citizens.

That’s brilliant. That’s exactly what is going on – the open-borders-humanitarians think that by adding the second pendulum, the first pendulum can still control the same movement but with a longer pendulum. The chaos that is happening now, they, the obh, believe will be a temporary adjustment. The question is, can the ob-humanitarians create a rigid tie between the two pendulums when the ob-capitalists don’t actually want that; probably not.

Crime is up in many cities but one cause in Chicago that you don’t hear much about and may be contributing to the sharp rise in violence is the fact that most of the high rise housing projects in Chicago were torn down over the past decade and half or so. The gangs that controlled the drug trade and other concerns in the projects had to go somewhere. They were spread out randomly through the neighborhoods of Chicago, and even into Downstate Illinois cities, and now the gangs are trying to sort it all out. The gangs lost the lucrative projects but now are trying to reform new turfs in the neighborhoods that they were sent out into. Much of the violence seen lately is just the gangs enforcing their authority over new territory.
In monkeys some females swap troupes when they reach breeding age. I’d expect it was similar for hominids in this era so maybe less a case of differential breeding rate and more a case of differential survival rate imo.

Your "time will tell" shtick is laughable. It's perfectly clear that the spike in murder rates is directly tied to the vilification and crippling of police forces in the wake of BLM.

A little off topic, but in Detroit 19 DPS Principals have been indicted in a bribery-kick back scheme involving fake invoices from a school supply vendor. The charges claim that the kick backs ranged from $4000 to almost $400,000. The indicted principals are all on unpaid leave and all are diverse. Get a good job and F–k it up. The former Superintendent of Detroit Public Schools, Barbara Byrd Bennett was indicted and pleaded guilty to federal charges in Chicago, where she was CPS Superintendent. She left Cleveland for Chicago and now Cleveland in finding a similar trail of financial misdeeds. The Talented Tenth taking a little more than they should. Oh, and one Principal in Detroit, who has taken a plead deal, called attention to her self by driving a Maserati, I guess Escalades are passe.
Correcting my post. Yesterday the Detroit Free Press said 19 Principals were indicted. Today, the number, depending on the source, is either 12 or 13 plus a school administrator and the vendor.
