Those victims are the ones who will be going back to those neighborhoods after they're released from the hospital. So yeah, they are probably going to keep their mouths shut. Sad.

In the immortal words of chris rock, if you're on MLK, run, there's some violence going down.

I do believe the authorities. This type of lie is just too difficult to get away with. I'm sure if the police were lying, the victims would run right to the bigger news agencies, who would love to print a story how the police are refusing to help the victims, and are lying to cover it up. No one is telling you to shrug the shootings off. But it's just reality that when every single victim refuses to cooperate with authorities, the police cannot wave a magic wand and make everything better. Just the opposite. By refusing to help put these shooters behind bars, the victims are ensuring there will be more bloodshed in the future. Doesn't change their victim status, but it's just an unfortunate fact of life.

"That is the only line that counts." Exactly - but I would suggest the other line that counts is "according to the authorities" - if the authorities are credible. In a great majority of JJ articles of late, victims have been subtly blamed for being shot or murdered. Six of our citizens were shot this weekend, and one is supposed to shrug it off because the authorities tell us "they weren't cooperative." It looks awfully good in print and relieves us of the burden of sympathy, huh? Victims are still victims.

"But in virtually every case, the shooting victims were uncooperative with officers or came down with sudden amnesia, according to the authorities."
That is the only line that counts. Can't expect the cops or Fulop to wave their magic wand and prevent crime when the victims refuse to cooperate.
