The first week of Chicago Police Officers working overtime over weekends in order to decrease crime ends with 6 dead and 34 wounded.
Last week it was announced that the CPD would pay overtime to officers who come in on their days off to help curb the weekend violence that has plagued Chicago.
But with its first week in practice, and temperatures in the 80s and 90s, crime has been occurring as if nothing was enacted. From Friday night to Monday morning, 6 people were killed and 34 wounded. Though we should not eliminate the plan right off the bat, I really hope that Emanuel, McCarthy, and the CPD have some backup plans because the weather is going to stay in the 80s and 90s for quite a while.

Well, it only shows that no matter how preventive the law enforcers there are still people who do not consider this. They still commit crimes as much as they want without thinking that they have to pay for what they have done.
