Chicago Residents, Pay Attention to Misinformation/Disinformation from City Officials

Firstly, check out this article: https://www.wbez.org/stories/uchicago-study-looks-at-whats-driving-citys-carjacking-surge/3c3aa99e-baf5-4343-8ccd-21152216ccf4

Now…. why is it that we’re being told that 80% of cars are recovered? City Officials are flipping the data entirely upside-down. Why?

In the January 2022 8th Ward Town Hall meeting (in which all of the following leaders listed below were present) one of the CPD Commanders stated that more than 80% of cars are recovered after a carjacking. Nobody on the call contradicted this, and it was simply accepted as a fact by everyone. They sure fooled me!

The stat was thrown out as a reply to another resident’s request for undercover police work to track the stolen cars. I wish I had a transcript of the session.
