"And this just in, the cops weren't wearing their body cameras. Had they been and had their actions been justified, maybe there would have been less of a kerfuffle. Although I don't think the looters cared a fig whether the shooting was justified. But still they should have been wearing them. They should always be wearing them." - Uncle Ken
Maybe this stuff is common knowledge in Chicago, but it is not in Beaglesonia. Even if I was a news junkie like my esteemed colleagues, I doubt I would be as well informed as they are about current events in Chicago, any more than they are about current events in Cheboygan. Well, Cheboygan doesn't actually have as many current events as Chicago because we don't have nearly as many people, but that's not the point. I searched my news app for "recent Chicago shootings", then narrowed it down to "Chicago shootings this weekend" and got different numbers from different stories. Then I noticed that some of the stories were dated August 3, which made them about last weekend. Even the ones about this weekend did not all report the same numbers because one of them was dated Saturday, another Sunday, and another Monday. It sounds like the one Uncle Ken is talking about was a police shooting, and I didn't see any of those in the stories I perused.
