First off, we have so many dishonest people on this message board who represent both sides of the aisle. This person was being held on bail for driving under the influence and leading police on a high speed chase while having an unlicensed firearm in the car (illegal gun). You’d think anti gun or “common sense gun legislation” minded people would want this man waiting trial just for that. Let me explain to you how serious Chicago views DUI reckless drivers since that’s my AOE. In our chase policy we will likely if not immediately have a chase terminated for most violent crime including gun violence offenses if an offender disregards more than 2 traffic control devices and is a danger to the general public. However, the city will endlessly let us pursue a reckless dui driver regardless of how dangerous the chase becomes. Can anyone guess why that is? They’re a fucking immediate danger to every single car and person they pass, that’s why. They need to be stopped and await their day in court. All that being said, we need serious judicial reform but the bail bonds system has both helped/saved and hurt people I can’t ignore that. I believe if the court releases you before trial and you commit murder they should be severely punishment for their lack of judgement.
