the mayor of chicago rahm emanuel, a democrat, governor of illinois, bruce roner, a republican, have simply failed to protect their most vulnerable citizens. these two can bloviate all they want. they haven't done anything effective to stop the carnage and, indeed, the situation is getting worse by the day. there is no national guard in these neighborhoods. the chicago police force is in disarray with charges of racism against it and the new police chief in chicago seems to be overwhelmed. the poor people living in the free fire zones are as threatened as anyone living in afghanistan. where is the national guard? where is a flood of police officers patrolling on foot 24/7 in these violent neighborhoods? again, this atrocity, these murders shouldn't be happening in the u.s.a. it is long past time for a safety emergency to be declared in certain chicago neighborhoods. it's also long past time for gun wielding thugs to be punished severely with very long prison terms. finally a direct message for folks trapped in bad chicago neighborhoods, you guys have got to speak out you have to marc

the list goes on and on, the case involving the young man laquon in chicago where a judge wants rahm emanuel to testify on the so-called code of silence that may exist in the police department there, but i guess the core of what you are saying is, yes, in many cities, not just baltimore, officers do not live in the neighborhoods they police but that could be applied to teachers as well in some of the hardest-hit areas. you have teachers who will not live in that community but choose to go into that community to teach those children. so you may not live in the community, but there is a bond that can happen, and many police departments, including baltimore, are pledging to do just that. you don't have to live in the community and the people don't have to be dehumanized. there seems to be an effort, according to your mayor, and you can tell me if you believe it's effective or not, to make that change, that there can be a human connection and you don't have to live exactly next door to the people you're policing. >> well, perhaps so, but there's research that indicates that the more segregated a
