Tbh I've actually missed this bullshit, it kind of died down during covid but it was a huge source of entertainment when I used to live downtown. The redline turns into an absolute shitshow, they beat the frick out of Chinese people, shoot each other and random bystanders, etc. Hopefully we can defund CPD a bit more so the teens can have some innocent fun without total BUZZKILLS getting in the way.

Do they ride 4-wheelers and dirt bikes in Chicago or is that just Atlanta and other cities?

They do but its not nearly as prevalent here. They tend to stick to the streets and stay downtown or on Roosevelt ave, rather than terrorizing parks and neighborhoods.

Yes they do, I just saw some earlier this week lol.
It's funny how they're clearly not street legal but if you try ticketing them it's racism

CPD friend of Adolin113355's said they've been told from on high too not ticket moving violations because only one demographic is committing them.

That wouldn't surprise me. There have been a few cases that objectively show the issue.
Do you remember the bait truck thing? For you dramatards that don't live in chicago, basically there was a string of robberies from freight (train) cars. The freight company worked with CPD to setup a bait truck, just a regular box truck (with a solid lock) that they left parked near the tracks, full of new shoes, although you couldn't tell from the outside. Unsurprisingly, some black people broke into the truck by cutting the lock with a bolt cutter and started pilfering the contents. CPD moves in and arrests several.
The media went on this frenzy where they painted this picture of entrapment. They complained that the people caught up in the sting were "kids", even though the arrestees were all legal adults, many in their early 20s. They managed to extract an apology from the city and a promise to not do it again, because they were "creating crime" by leaving an unattended truck. (Again, it was locked and unmarked, it's not like it said "FULL OF FREE NIKE'S" on the side.)

I really don't understand what the end goal is of liberal news media. Is it really as simple as just riling up useful idiots and getting them to click shit? They need to be reigned in harder than the pharma and arms industries combined.
I feel like there's an ulterior motive but schizo disorders also run in my family so.

Honestly, I don't think there's any sort of master plan or anything. The idea of liberalism is great - help people, everybody happy, it's virtually utopic. The world is just filling up with people that have seemingly little "life experience", they isolate themselves with technology and form bubbles so instead of exchanging a variety of real-world experiences they inundate themselves with self-affirming nonsense. So they fall in love with the idea of liberalism, or socialism, or whatever, and never get the knowledge to know which ideas are simply unrealistic and infeasible.

Well that and CPD has an extremely stringent nonpursuit policy. Only option they have is the helicopter.

Yeah, I remember them tightening that up after a few cases, like the Adam Toledo thing (where the cop was 100% in the right btw, but that doesn't matter apparently).

Idk if you drive but Chicago hasn't actual had any roadlaws since 2020. I've run red lights and stopsigns in front of CPD and they are too busy playing Pokemon Go or something to care. Freeway speed limits are a joke, if you ever even see cops on the freeway they'll blow past you going 90.
Seeing a motorbike with plates is a rare occurrence.

I don't, but I'm well aware that there's no traffic enforcement at all. It's kinda a shame because I swear if they sat like 5 officers at intersections downtown the tickets they collect for blocking intersections could pay off the pension debt.
The only time I've ever seen anyone get pulled over was some idiot who blatantly ran a red light (wasn't even like it just turned red) right across the intersection to cut off a cop.
Anything less than that gets a pass.

The cops could fix that in a week with paintball guns and that skin dye paint.

A few years back I was in Oakland and about 40 rowdies went through a red light on their bikes. The were mostly crotch rockets though, there might have been a few dirtbikes in there.
