The Cook County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office confirmed 875 gun related homicides in 2020, breaking the previous record of 838 set in 1994. The office released the grim statistic along with other preliminary case data for 2020 Friday.\u00a0 The office handled a total of 970 homicides in 2020. That\u2019s a more than 40% increase over 2019\u2019s total of 675. Black people were the victims of 78% of homicides and Latinos accounted for more than 16% of homicide deaths.\u00a0 It looks a lot like there is an alarming systemic racism problem with regard to homicide victims, caused by a high number of criminals\u00a0 allowed to avoid incarceration until they kill somebody.\u00a0 Not exactly the right time to restrict proactive policing and let arrestees walk with no bail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Setting the stage for a significant overhaul of its criminal justice system, Illinois Governor J.B.
