60 Minutes Looks At The Crisis in Chicago Policing. Report to Air on January 1, 2017.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Former Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy tells “60 Minutes” he sees a “huge problem” in the way the city is handling its skyrocketing murder rate.

“When people are dying, yes, there’s crisis,” McCarthy says in an interview with the CBS news program. “No two ways about it.”

“60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker traveled to Chicago to report on the alarming number of murders in the past year. In the six days “60 Minutes” worked in Chicago, 55 people were shot and 16 were killed, according to a network release.

Whitaker’s report, “Crisis in Chicago,” will air at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 1, on CBS.

The program’s study of all 22 Chicago police districts reveals that while more than 4,000 people have been shot and more than 750 people have been killed in 2016, street stops by police have dropped 80 percent and arrests by 33 percent.
