When did you become such a pessimist? I seriously doubt that it would take an entire Presidential term for things to get that bad. I think that realistically we would be seeing that roll out by next Memorial Day

He is actually correct on this issue. I have served 20 years in the military and if you want to control a situation you have to take control of it with uncommon force. There is no other way if you want to control it long term and not just for a small window of time. Chicago is a war zone. Totally out of control with gun violence. Their Democratic leaders have failed them. I would even step it up to a military operation along with police. It could be cleaned up in less than 6 months. The violence would come to a grinding halt.

To the OP: Tougher Cops? It means cops that are allowed to do their jobs with out fear of retribution or punishment by the present liberal government. It means supporting cops to go out at risk of life and limb and stop crime. He is not saying he's a fascist and wants to take over the world. He's saying that he will support the efforts of the police to do their jobs to the very best of their abilities.

you're all acting like he was talking with some trigger-happy crackpot, not a high ranking police officer.

A decorated United States Army veteran, Burge served tours in South Korea and Vietnam and continued as an enlisted United States Army Reserve soldier where he served in the military police. He then returned to the South Side of Chicago and began his career as a police officer
