Reality is nothing like official media story delivered by Chicago Police Department Superintendent Garry “Streetlight Assassin” McCarthy and his public spokesmen minions.

After 4 months, fewer shootings but two more murders than 2013
(Sun-Times) – The first four months of 2014 were marked with fewer shooting incidents and victims, but saw two more murders compared with the same period in 2013, according to police.
