(CHICAGO) Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Police Supt. Eddie Johnson are making an impassioned plea for anyone who knows anything about 11 murders in 73 shootings over the week to come forward.
At the 6th District Police Station, the mayor said if you know who did any of these shootings, but a good neighbor and tell police, “The offender in almost every situation is known by somebody. They have a moral responsibility to speak up so there can be legal accountability for those actions.”
And Johnson said it’s time that people who know be held accountable to help solve this problem, “I hear people holding us accountable all the time. I never hear people saying these individuals out in the streets need to stop pulling the trigger. I never hear that! They get a pass from everybody and they shouldn’t!”
Many mayors and police chiefs have made the same appeals for decades, but fear prevents people from stepping forward.
