Criminal justice reform activists simply want to make things easier for criminals while making normal people’s lives harder. Chicago is a prime example.

Mayor Brandon Johnson is not renewing the city’s contract with SpotShotter, a system that helps police identify the origin of gunshots. As the executive director of United Working Families boasted, “Elections matter. Organizing matters. Today is a new day, where investments in evidence-based, holistic solutions that don’t just respond to violence but prevent it are driving our city’s public safety policy. We know a safer Chicago is on the horizon.”
