With a quarter of 2021 already over, it has so far been the deadliest year in Chicago in four years as the city saw another spike in gun violence even before the warmer-weather months arrived.

The city recorded 131 slayings during the first three months of 2021, the most since 2017 when at least 140 people were killed in the first quarter of that year, Chicago police statistics show. The 131 killings so far in 2021 is a jump of about 34% over the same period last year, when there were 98, according to the statistics.

Med detta i åtanke så är poliserna medvetna om att det är mycket farligt att konfronteras med negrer i Chicago, USA:s mest våldsdrabbade stad, speciellt om man misstänker att den misstänkte bär på ett skjutvapen oavsett dennes ålder. Även om polisen agerade fel, så är det fullt förståeligt att något sådant här händer i Chicago.
