you're right, chicago has become a national symbol for violence.and the reality is that we spend more of our resources here in cook county going after nonviolent low-level drug offenders, than we do after guns, after shootings. and so, in fact, we have been dropping more cases involving, for example, simple drug possession, than my predecessor had. and the reality also is that cook county was once known as the confession capital of the united states where we had accepted a dysfunction in the system that people were wrongfully convicted because of the lack of evidence to support it. we believe as ministers of justice, that if a case is not sufficient to continue that we drop it. i think we have to look at this with the nuance that is required. and headlines are catchy, but reading the headlines will tell you the cases that were dropped were cases nonviolent and low-level offenses and not in line with public safety. >> final question, to someone watching this who has seen the footage of the magnificent mile and attributes it to, oh, there's that pros
