This video examines how official crime statistics can be misleading when officials use narrow definitions or specific reporting windows to present more favorable data. During Chicago's Memorial Day weekend, Mayor Brandon Johnson claimed zero homicides, while reports showed 38 people were shot and at least 2 died, highlighting the importance of critically examining how statistics are defined and reported rather than accepting them at face value.

🚨"He is LASHING OUT after Gettig EXPOSED" - Brandon Johnson CAUGHT HIDING Memorial Weekend DeathsAdded:
And we're back. And we're back, y'all.
Thank you for watching today. Go ahead and hit that like button, my people. You know that it helps us out a ton. And of course, it helps you because it helps us keep bringing you these stories every day. Now, y'all, we reported a couple of times over Memorial Day weekend about how many people were getting hurt in Chicago in the various shootings. At last report, there were at least three mass shootings and somewhere between 25 and 40 something people were shot over that 3-day period. Now, it looks like Chicago is having a bit of crime reporting difficulties because while the authorities are reporting that no one was killed in all of those shootings, y'all, over 20 people, somewhere between 25 and 40 people, as I said, authorities are reporting that there were no no fatalities, y'all. Nobody died, apparently. But the newspapers and people in Chicago are saying something different. Now, I want you to remember that just recently in Washington DC, 13 top cops, 13 people in the police department were summarily fired for faking the crime stats, y'all. Now, I'm certainly I'm certainly not accusing the Chicagoans of doing the same thing. But you do have to wonder if you're the mayor of a city, shouldn't you know if people are getting killed in your city?
So, we're going to take a look at that today, y'all. And also William Kelly, the intrepid reporter in Chicago who always holds your boy, the illustrious sub 10% approval rating, mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson. William Kelly always holds his feet to the fire. It was no exception in Brandon Johnson's most recent press conference. Y'all, you're going to see that come from Taan as well, y'all. So, without further ado, let's go ahead and get into it. Mayor Johnson, Chicago is making national news on a weekly, if not daily, basis uh due to viral videos of violent black teenagers taking over Chicago neighborhoods, assaulting not only Chicago citizens destroying pro uh property, but assaulting police officers, sending them to the hospital.
Um, real Chicagoans, law-abiding Chicagoans are asking me if this is a a Chappelle show sketch. When you say when you brag that somehow 40 plus people being shot over Memorial Day weekend is some kind of a success. We have uh, you know, half a dozen police officers sent to the hospital due to uh, being rammed in a car by a violent black teenager at one of these uh, takeovers.
>> Thank you, William. Thank you. Let's wrap up the question. Let him answer, please. You know, I mean, you didn't interrupt anyone else's question.
>> No.
>> Why would you interrupt my question?
>> Please ask the question.
>> Every reporter here has asked multiple questions. Why would you interrupt my question? Why?
>> Please ask the question. Thank you.
>> I understand that every other reporter wants to talk about how the police are of the problem, which is your policy, which is your rhetoric, which has led to these kinds of problems. According to the citizens, the, you know, the real law-abiding citizens of Chicago, they say that your rhetoric and your policies are actually causing violent black teen.
Please get to the question and let Mary answer your question.
>> So, the question is, if police officers can't be safe in the city of Chicago, if a police officer can't even transport a violent repeat offender to a hospital without being murdered, then how can the how can the average citizen be safe? And how many of your uh Chicago police officer uh bodyguards will be accompanying you to your all expense paid uh luxury vacation to Rome.
>> Thank you, William. Thank you.
>> Well, you know, look, as I've said repeatedly, safety is our top priority and you know, I'm grateful to the women and men who serve in our police department that protect our our residents. And the important part about all of this is is that I've always said repeatedly that it's not policing alone, right? Police officers are being asked to do more and more each and every day.
And that's why I've worked hard to expand behavior and mental health support services, right? So that it it takes off some of that pressure off of law enforcement to respond to those scenes. And again, as far as these these teen trends, um we're all working hard to prevent them from happening. And you know, the reckless behavior of this individual who drove the car and harmed our officers.
I'm grateful that they are recovering.
And I I believe that individual was not even a Chicago if I'm not mistaken. And um you know depending on your definition of of a teen uh this person was 18 is 18 years old. So by some definition old enough to vote and and is an adult. So thank you. Now, you heard William Kelly referring to the teen takeovers in which hundreds and even thousands of teens take to the streets in various different locations, cause chaos, shoot each other, fight, and overall just wreak havoc on the surrounding area. And those were the scenes of much of the violence over the weekend, y'all. But as I said in the intro to this video, authorities don't seem like they can even determine whether anybody was actually killed this weekend or not. Y'all, let's take a look at this. Now, take a look at the headlines here on Google News. When you type in Chicago Memorial Day weekend shooting, now all of this is about this past Memorial Day, which was just a few days ago. The very first headline says Chicago's Memorial Day weekend ends without a shooting homicide for first time in years. Now, who said that? The Chicago Police Department. But then the very next headline says two dead, 38 wounded in Memorial Day weekend shooting in Chicago. These were both published two days ago, y'all. So, one has CPD saying nobody was killed, and the very next reputable news outlet has two people getting killed. CBS reports 37 people shot and wounded over Memorial Day weekend. NBC 5 says Chicago leaders are optimistic after the city saw zero homicides over Memorial Day weekend.
Y'all, which is it? And this person on X, Jamal Green, who frequently posts about Chicago, says, "I truly can't believe the mayor and other news lied and said there wasn't a homicide this weekend." News flash, 38 people were shot. Two people were killed this weekend. A 74 year old man was killed Friday and a 47 year old man was killed yesterday at 1000 a.m. Now if you open up this article by the Chicago Sun Times that says two dead, 38 wounded, you'll notice a couple of things here.
It says two deaths, the two deaths of this year's holiday weekend came after a toddler, a 2-year-old, shot himself. So maybe so maybe that wouldn't be included. And it says another shooting that turned fatal was listed as a death investigation with a 32year-old man found shot found in a car fatally shot in his head. So how many people were there? Yo, that seems like four different people to me. and all of this.
While the mayor, you know, your boy, the illustrious sub 10% approval rating mayor, Brandon Brandy Boyd Johnson is saying that nobody was killed. Him and his police department are both reporting that there were zero fatalities over Memorial Day weekend. Don't forget y'all that not only were there these fatalities and who knows how many up to 40 45 people shot over the weekend.
Police were hit by a car, there were five police officers who were hospitalized after getting run over by a runaway driver at a look what looked like a teen takeover. And then and in the midst of all this, y'all, your boy, what's he going to do? He going to take your taxpayer money, y'all. And he's going to Rome. He going to take a bunch of his people. They gonna mount up. They gonna go. They gonna go to Rome, y'all.
I mean, that's what you do when you're when you have 40 people shot over a weekend. Somewhere between zero, two, three, four people did. I mean, who knows who who knows what the official stats are, but y'all, he wants to go to Rome. That's that's what you need to do when you have a city that's just mired in violence, y'all. You get away.
>> Okay. So, my follow-up question is simply this. You're going to Rome, all expense paid, luxury vacation, the type of vacation that no Chicago and very few Chicagoans could possibly ever experience in their entire lifetime. Um, and what real Chicagoans are asking me is who's paying for this? Um, this >> Thank you. I got your question.
>> It's World Business Chicago. I mean, you're you're the chairman of >> It's a World Business Chicago. That is how many of the people on this trip >> have business with Chicago, have contracts with Chicago, have our vendors, what do they expect?
>> World Business, they're paying for your trip. What do they get in return?
>> World Business Chicago is an apparatus that was designed by previous administrations to help build and attract business to Chicago. And we're doing that. You know, look, we are the top destination for corporate relocation 13 years in a row.
We were voted the best big city in America by condas, I believe, eight, nine years in a row. Uh, we have the busiest airport in the entire world. We have more people visiting downtown than any other time in the history of Chicago. And of course, one act of violence is one too many. But yet, we cannot deny the fact that we are moving in the right direction. and we're going to continue to build the safest, most affordable big city in America. And we're going to remain open for business, but unlike other previous administrations, Chicago is just not for sale. Thank you.
>> So, yeah, y'all, I I just thought I would bring you this update. Um, listen, this this year's violence was actually an increase over Memorial Day over last year. Okay, so that's one. Some maybe up to double the amount of people were shot. Who knows how many people were killed? Apparently in Chicago, they either don't keep those stats accurately or they just don't report them. Who knows? What do y'all think? I mean, h how can you explain that discrepancy, y'all? And can you even trust the stats now? I mean, I just showed you I just brought you the proof that you get these stats that are being reported by the mayor, by CPD, and then by the news outlets, and they don't match up. Y'all, let me know what y'all think about this.
Is this the time for a trip to Rome, y'all?
