Also I got hit by a car yesterday and not one cop showed up for THREE hours.
That's because CPD is busy with all the gang and violence activity in the city.
Bring back death penalty
The city is suffering because this is the least cpd could offer due to their negligent behavior. And no it’s not opened back up yet
Yea sorry but no need to disrupt the entire north side at 7:30am. No busses, no way to get on lakeshore. Poor planning
Poor planning on YOUR part, because this has been posted everywhere multiple times a day all week!
