  1. It's probably standard procedure. That doesn't mean that he will face charges.

  2.  @Dgafsranger  Another commenter pointed out that a quick search shows that the shooter was being debriefed at a station, not jailed.

  3.  @kai.05  I understand, it's just that people think that the employee is being charged.

  4.  @mrg8581  GOP-run small cities are some of the worst.

  6.  @TheMrZombified  Exactly. He's not being punished.

  7. The robber will probably face charges, and the employee probably will not.

  8. It's part of a protocol after a shooting. This doesn't mean that there will be any charges.

  9.  @yidy1  It's not a partisan matter. Cops are like this all over the place.

  10.  @mistersniffer6838  I hope that he isn't being held for that long.

  11.  @TempoMontages  Someone else pointed out that it's more of a debriefing.

  14.  @amberarnold8547  Nobody is doing that. Also, were the police actually defunded?

  15. There probably won't be any charges. It's an investigation after a shooting. It seems wrong to me too, but it makes some sense.

  16. That doesn't mean that he's a criminal. There probably won't be any charges.

  17. Many millions do, so perhaps you should ask someone who does.

  18.  @dingus6317  No, not me personally. Also, I just realized that Chicago proper doesn't have "many millions," more like 2.74 million. There are lots of people to ask.

  19. It's probably standard procedure. Charges are unlikely.

  20. Has the employee faced any charges? This is probably just standard procedure.

  21.  @mistersniffer6838  If by "J6 Grandmas" you're referring to the people who face only the minor misdemeanor charges, few if any of them have been held for long without charges. (This is off the subject, but one of the awful things about bail/bond is that it punishes people too poor to pay it. People have been held in Riker's Island, which is a dangerous hellhole, for longer than their punishment could be.)

  22.  @mistersniffer6838  There was much, much more than that! YouTube doesn't like links anymore, so just search for USA Today's database on the arrestees. There are currently 1130 entries, and you can see everyone's charges, details of jurisprudence, etc.

  23.  @Nielak-dg8nj  The bail system punishes people who are too poor to make bail. People have been held in the dangerous hellhole that is Riker's Island for longer lengths of time than their sentence would be.

  24.  @Nielak-dg8nj  Sometimes people with those sorts of charges are held without bail. You know this.

  25. The NRA isn't a gun rights organization. It's a gun control organization, in that they want to keep guns out of the hands of marginalized communities. You know about the Mulford Act, right?

  26.  @totenfurwotan4478  As I understand it, this is a matter of debriefing/investigation, not punishment.

  29. There probably won't be any charges. One has to investigate a shooting.

  30.  @PrepaidKarma  You exaggerate.

  31.  @Joel-wx7zk  Has the employee faced any charges?

  32.  @gman8361  Have any charges been filed against the employee? This isn't against the law.

  33.  @Kevin-vh6nn  There is no left in any position of power in the US. The Democrats are a neoliberal capitalist imperialist party. There's nothing left-wing about that.

  34. You assume too much. Has the employee been charged?

  35.  @10PercentForTheBigGuy  Cops act like this all over the place, GOP-voting states have the worst crime, and small GOP-run cities are among the worst.

  38. Crime rates were much higher in previous decades, peaking around 1990.

  39.  @Jianju69  How so?

  40.  @jamesrecknor6752  This isn't a partisan matter. A lot of the relevant policies are made at the state level, and GOP-voting states have the highest crime rates. Also, GOP-run small cities are among the most dangerous.

  41.  @Diesel3356  Yes, it's worst in the GOP-run states. Also, small GOP-voting cities are often worse than the places you're probably thinking of.

  44.  @racso-gk6cz  True, but what does that have to do with crime?

  45.  @mrdo_LA  While crime rates peaked in 1990 and have mostly declined since, you're right in the bigger picture, especially beginning with the dawning of neoliberal capitalism under Reagan.

  47.  @MR-xc3sw  Devastating by design? Elaborate, please. By the way, I am not a Democrat, but I find myself defending them because the attacks on them from Republicans are so silly.

  48. I think that it's standard procedure. This doesn't mean that the employee will face charges.

  49.  @Ephimerous2006  I think that this is a case of investigation/debriefing rather than punishment.
