Thanks Andy Shaw

  • Chicago police have fatally shot 70 people over a five-year span, tops among departments in the largest U.S. cities.
Big deal - 14 people (and folks) a year. While non-police shootings top 400 regularly.
  • The Chicago victims were nearly all male. Most were black. More than half of the killings happened in six South Side police districts.
"victims"? The Victims were Chicago Police Officers you ass.
  • No other police department in any of the 10 most populous cities killed more people from 2010 through 2014, but Chicago ranks fourth behind Phoenix, Philadelphia and Dallas when the numbers are adjusted for population, according to a Better Government Association analysis of data obtained through interviews and open records requests.
And there's the per capita adjustment. Chicago doesn't even finish in the money. How about Shaw and his "organization" track the last year? The last two years? Because then Chicago doesn't even appear on the radar.

This is as lousy a piece of yellow journalism as we've seen in a long time.
