The Feds should have told them to get hosed.


Chicago police are recruiting federal agents to help them fight the record-high number of violent carjackings that have plagued the city.
The Chicago Police Department announced Sunday that they are enlisting the help of federal authorities, especially agents with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, Fox News reported.

“We’ll look at the patterns and trends and we’re bringing federal resources to bear because quite frankly they have some things that they can realize that we can’t on the state and local level,” Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said.

Johnson added that the anti-carjacking force would also consist of state police officers, prosecutors, and police officers from neighboring suburban areas.

The Chicago police superintendent said that increased enforcement efforts would also lead to more prosecutions in federal court where those who break the law face stiffer penalties than at the state level.

“We’re not playing around,” he said. “They want to continue to go out there and take the easy path of taking someone’s vehicle, then we’re going to take that path of punishment to the fullest extent of the law.”

Fox 32 Chicago reported that the city task force might use a federal helicopter to track carjacked vehicles reported to the authorities.

Carjackings in Chicago reached a ten-year all-time high in 2017; the city recorded more than 950 carjackings in 2017. The last time the city had that many carjackings in one year was in 2007 when the city recorded 898 carjackings that year.

Yep. And after they stop laughing, throw in a snide remark like "Isn't it great living in a sanctuary city?"

Good luck with that. Chicago is pretty much lost unfortunately, as are many industrial cities that were once the back bone of our country. Very sad but was avoidable.

Maybe if the local courts stopped dropping charges left and right. How many carjacks involve the use of a firearm where they slap them on the hand at the local level? They and their progressive views are the problem. They can fix it on their own easily, if they wanted to.

Wow. Carjackers are realey worried.

In FL carjacking is specifically mentioned under justification of the use of deadly force.

And you don't even need any kind of permit to keep a loaded gun in your car. We even let you keep it within reach of the driver cause a gun in the back seat is just clutter.

In case they are looking for suggestions.

Wonder what happens when they haul in the first bunch of arrested carjackers and virtually all of them share the same ethnic background. My bet, the feds get accused of racism and have lawsuits filed against them.

No way the feds should have gone near this issue. Its a Chicago problem, so let 'them' deal with it (or not deal with it).

I'd bet that they will shout at the carjackers again.

Maybe that is one of the reasons Chicago wants the Feds to get involved, to have a fall guy.

They will do ANYTHING except review their Anti-Gun and Sanctuary City policies. FOOLS

So what makes it a federal crime? Why should the tax dollars I send to Uncle Sam go towards the arrest, trial, and incarceration of folks in Chicago for local/state crimes?

Will Chicago be getting billed for subcontracting out their obligations?

Shithole...

For the easiest explanation of why this shit hole exists, all one has to do is look who is in charge, and has been for years!

Remember that asshole reject from the obummer admin?

How is the FBI going to arrest these mutts any better than local LEOs could? Magic lasso?

A couple of bait vans and SUV's with a pair of SWAT guys hidden in the backseat with shotguns would dim the carjackers enthusiasm in a hurry

Same here in Texas. We don’t need no stinkin’ Feds.

Been pretty funny if they were told NO because of fund cuts to sanctuary cities.

Sure don't want to blame the real problem because that's their voting base there.

Remember what happened to horse thieves.

Yeah, but we also have to remember that back in those days the huge majority of the people, women included, carried guns and knew how to use them.

And damned few of the people were making excuses for the criminals.

A potential victim with a cocked-and-locked 1911 stuffed between the passenger seat and the center console would work a lot of magic too
