She claimed prosecutors weren\u2019t doing enough to keep violent offenders off the street.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Chicago: 797 homicides <br \/>Philadelphia: 562 homicides<br \/>New York City: 485 homicides <br \/>Los Angeles: 392 homicides<br \/>D.C.: 227 homicides<br \/>St. Louis: 192 homicides<\/p>\n<p>America has a crime pandemic and Democrat cities are focused on arresting the maskless &amp; unvaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lance Gooden (@Lancegooden) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Lancegooden\/status\/1477783308935258114?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 2, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This comes as Chicago saw a record 797 homicides under Lightfoot\u2019s watch in 2021, which is the most of any U.S. city and the highest figure nationally in more than 25 years.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe\u2019ve got to do more to push our courts and our prosecutors to hold dangerous violent people accountable,\u201d stated the Chicago mayor. \u201cWe have 2,300 dangerous violent people, people charged with murder, attempted murder, kidnapping and the like, that are out on bond. That makes no sense whatsoever. And what it does is destabilizes and makes our community less safe.
