A Chicago 911 dispatcher is demanding accountability from the city’s leadership as bloodshed rocked the Memorial Day weekend, leaving 38 dead and dozens wounded nationwide.
The dispatcher, Keith Thornton Jr., joined “Fox & Friends First” to discuss the significance of accountability in ceasing the rampant crime in the Windy City. According to Chicago Sun-Times, 52 people were shot in the city over the weekend, with 10 killed.
“This nonsense has to stop,” Thornton Jr. told co-host Todd Piro. “We need someone who’s going to take the position and say, you guys need to cut this out, and if you don’t do it, this is the accountability and this is what we’re going to do to you.”
“It’s not happening here,” he continued. “It’s not happening.”
Thornton Jr. stressed “nothing is going to change” unless the city’s leadership changes course on its soft on crime approach.
“This is just a new generation of youth coming up nowadays without those parents and without those mentors to give them that, so this is what’s taking place,” Thornton Jr. said. “But when you don’t have that accountability, it goes back to that. We don’t have that accountability, and you have distressed, government service and system city council within these cities, nothing’s going to change.”
“So we are going to keep coming back to these things, and it’s very sad,” he continued.
