>Most of the CCTV and Ring cameras are pretty lousy and they're in fixed locations.

The CCTVs in Chicago are 360 degree panning plus up/down, and can zoom-in four blocks away with enough resolution to make out a face and license plate. https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/09/29/chicago-police-cam....

Did you have to pick a video where somebody is killed?

It's Chicago and that's pretty normal there.

Lol. Lines like this make it clear that anyone speaking about it has never actually lived in Chicago.

They may own a big hotel, run for public office, or (here) they may link a source or two leveraging a couple of neighborhoods raising statistics.

But they clearly never lived in, or know what it's like to live in, Chicago.

No need to live there to know its reality. This type of violence is normalized there.

Q.E.D. :)
