Calling on the Chicago Fam</font size> and anybody else:
<SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Is Calling in the National Guard to help quell the violence in Chicago the answer ???</span>.
A violent crime wave in Chicago has promped a call for the National Guard to step in. But,
some say no. So far this year, 113 homicides have been reported in Chicago.
April 14: Chicago Police and investigators are seen following a shooting that left four people dead,
including two children.
<font size="4"><u>For</u> National Guard Deployment</font size>
Two Illinois lawmakers are urging Governor Pat Quinn to deploy national guard troops to help quell
the surge in violence:
Fritchey has said, "We're not talking about rolling tanks down the street," "If we bring them in to fill sand bags and pick up tornado debris, we can bring them in to save lives."
<font size="4"><u>Against</u> National Guard Deployment</font size>
Jody Weiss
While some may believe the Guard is the solution, Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis disagrees. Weis says the Guard's military training falls short of the criminal laws and procedures that police must follow in combating crime. “I’m not that mixing the National Guard with local law enforcement is the solution," Weis said.
