If it were a state, it would rank #11 by population, just behind Michigan and in front of New Jeresey. Chicagoland has the population of 10 Erie Counties. Each of those shootings is a tragedy, but the idea that gang shootings in Chicago proves whatever narrative BS you think it does is asinine. By your logic, then: There are over 7 million contacts between police and black citizens over the age of 16 in this country each year. There are, on average, about 10, clearly unjustified murders of black men each year, and an average of a total of 230 black men who are killed by police each year. Each of those murders is a tragedy, but the idea that those killings proves a narrative of systemic racism in law enforcement is asinine. EDIT: BTW, the vast majority of those shootings you referenced are not taking place throughout the "Chicagoland area." As with most cities, they are taking place primarily in the poorest neighborhoods, which are predominantly black.

I posted that Jackson Mississippi has the highest murder rate in that state which you mentioned in a previous post. Jackson Mississippi is Democrat controlled. I've been to Oxford. Its the home of Ole Miss University. Its a very small but very nice city. It may be classified as low income because the income is skewed because many of its residents are students?
