Police statistics clearly show this. From January to the end of March, there were 677 shootings, a staggering 88.5% increase from the 359 over the same period in 2015. Levels of violent crime are also up, and the first quarter of this year saw 141 murders across the city ? more than Los Angeles and New York put together ? and a 72% rise compared with 2015.

In the first three months of 2015, Chicago's police officers stopped and searched 157,346 people for suspicious behavior. This year, that number dropped to 20,908 ? down 86%. This is attributed to a drop in morale and a reluctance to stop and search for fear of becoming the next YouTube video that goes viral.
Also, the passing of law influenced by the American Civil Liberties Union to combat racial profiling now requires the police to fill out up to 60 pages of forms for each stop.
Lurigio said there was a "strong association" that less police had "created a vacuum of power which gang members are filling."
