Mayor Rahm Emanuel and newly-confirmed Police SuperintendentGarry McCarthy today said they’re putting a “marginal” amount of new police officers in downtown spots where there have been a spate of recent attacks, even as they questioned the media’s coverage of the attacks.
McCarthy cautioned the media about characterizing crimes correctly, pointing to the differences between shoplifting, robbery and criminal mischief.
And Emanuel asked whether the media pays more attention to crime downtown than it does to crime on the South Side, for example.
“Our job is to keep all communities safe, whether they’re in Englewood or downtown,” Emanuel said
