I'm a Chicago boy born and raised in part of the city that has a lot of the crime.
Two of my cousins were inner city cops and I always wondered how they managed.
It's just sad how the city has gone downhill and I've no desire (nor reason) to return.

And yes, where's the outrage? One forum I was reading had a comment that the wagering "over/under" for Chicago shootings is 50 for every weekend - and that you should always take the over!!

This is the problem in America's big cities. George Floyd and BLM is certainly an issue and the police need policing (sad to say that too), but you're right - where's the outrage by our leadership (politicans, athletes, activists, religious, whoever) over the huge numbers of people being crime victims. It's not even talked about!!
