CHICAGO—Three days after his 29-year-old son was shot and killed, Keith Harris joined a group of residents who clashed with protesters during a demonstration outside the Chicago Police Department’s Seventh District station in the Englewood neighborhood.
The turbulent confrontation last week pitted demonstrators seeking to defund the police against crime-weary residents who say they want the department to better serve them. “I don’t see how defunding the police is going to help anything in Englewood,” said Mr. Harris, 53 years...
I love this one every time I read it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Black Lies Matters
Some people say is an oligarch's tool & America would be better off if 's owner were drawn & quartered & his assets confiscated. Others say America would be better off with confiscation followed by beheading. Awaiting your op-ed on this. BlackLivesMatter OligarchsDont
Most protestors.
Instead of major corporations dumping money into BLM why wouldn't they help out a disadvantage community? The neighborhood wish list includes a youth center and mental-health workers, residents said, as well as police officers who are on the scene quickly when there is trouble.
Oh Jeez... I wonder why... Maybe because defunding the police is a stupid idea defended by idiots?
Uncle Joe! Are you listening?! Uncle Joe!
No shit.
Yes it's true, that's why they hate Trump coz he creates jobs for them and they are lazy.
Shocker 😱🤯
Ever thought of making up to $7,000 weekly without sending money to anyone?
Abt time blackdollarsmatter
I guess I should convey it to some, I'm watching Love Island Australia, Season 2. Im through episode 6. -I appreciate WSJ's Conscientious Approach to News.
No shit.
Only criminals ask for no police...
The issue is not to defund the police but to reallocate those funds into something like job training so kids in Englewood don’t have to resort to crime.
Now I’m ok with that shirt. Vote Trump if you want pro business!!
Trust you folks to distort the story. Now you know and can speak to the Black people experience than they do
Samminish1 It’s about damn time you wake up why would you want to live in a hell hole with murders drugs and especially your kids being killed for no reason time for you to vote the democrats out of office it’s only going to get worse
Every day the “Defund the Police” mantra that Democrats support looks more and more like they’ve booked a ticket on the Hindenburg of causes.
That is such a great t-shirt. Capitalism Matters!
Refreshing to finally see voters in these cities demanding law and order from their government leaders. Until now I’ve been disappointed that residents haven’t been demanding better behavior or else.
Here’s my response to your article, “No Shit! You don’t think?”
yeah, well, fuck them Amerikkkan business mentality has traditionally been opposed to the better interests of the larger population
Amen to that! 😃
WSJ = CCP RUNNING DOG Take an early look at The Wall Street Journal = become CCP running dog early. As WSJ.
Barnes_Law You ain’t black! - Joe Biden
White left just use black people as weapon. They say BLM. However, they are making black lives suffer. Wake up, black people, the white left just want to use you to fulfil their politcial goals. Don't forget what Biden said - black doesn't vote for him ain't black.
Well duh! The woke congress is pushing it along with the woke media.
Malcolm Gladwell documented 3 historical principles for legitimate authority. Our justice system fails, but you expect people of color to shutup and dribble. 1. The people expected to obey must have a voice. 2. The law must be predictable. 3. The authority has to be fair. ✌🏾
I’m all for hiring more police to patrol Wall Street. We can send them out there with drug dogs, conduct stop and frisks, and enforce arrest quotas. Let’s not pretend Wall Street doesn’t have an active illicit drug market. ✌🏾
Isn't destroying black owned businesses enough proof that Antifa owned BLM is not for the people?
Not one dollar should be removed from the police services budget NOT ONE DOLLAR
Can’t wait to see this!!!
Shock horror ...
When you’re constantly being shot at, and only the police show up, not protesters... defunding becomes less attray
No shit
Cause having an overfunded police force was really effective for keeping Chicago’s crime and murder rate low all these years 🙃
How about 'most' instead of 'some'?
Now, these are the real people we want to hear from. I don't know who's paying the 'defund the police' people.
Barnes_Law They should all move in with LIGHTFOOT
Aren’t they supposed to be letting white woke liberals speak and think for them?
ledzepfan400 antifa need to dox those business owners!
ChicagoMayor but will mayor Lightfoot listen? Probably not, and more innocents will die. Allowing these murders to continue is the highest form of racism Mayor Lightfoot.
Carma!
chicagotribune wrote a similar article and quoted exactly zero residents of Englewood. This WSJ piece has 7-8 residents quoted throughout. Sad that our local paper is too afraid to send a reporter to Englewood.
I bet $ 10,000 no one From wsj reported from englewood
Really?
Nobody believes the defund the cops B.S. except white trust fund 23-28 year old college graduates. Nobody believes this crap. Stop using Englewood as a poster child. They hate u opportunistic fools. Stay out and leave them be.
Finally sanity might erupt & these Democrat mayors & governors who allowed their residents to be assaulted, businesses looted & architecture defaced in the name of 'social justice' will be voted out of office.
Defunding the police is the dumbest fucking idea in history.
Because they know such calls make white power brotherhood of Chicago police ignore these people and problems, and target them even more. Don't mess with their honor, cause they will mess with your life so badly that you will start to wish you are dead.
Has this position been cleared with those who destroyed Chicago and the myriad businesses who fund them? Just making sure. I've been told that my opinion, despite its being measured by reason, does not matter.
Barnes_Law Most Americans are
Barnes_Law People are about all done with the lockdowns & the nonsense in streets. I can’t imagine living in a city with riots and strict lockdown. Merica is reaching a boiling point.
You elected those city and state officials, and you get what you ask for: careless politicians who want to defund the police for no logical reason. If you want change, start by voting them out!
It's not safe shopping in black neighborhoods.
Its idiots like this that proclaim all the BS fads like this. If it ever happens, then are the same people crying they are hard done by. You could almost write the book, its that predictable. Why are people so stupid.
Oh my god who would’ve thought taking funding from the police would be a bad idea in crime ridden cities?
And they supported the idiots who promote this policy.
'HEADWINDS'? GET IT STRAIGHT..... IT'S 'SANITY'.
Need a Shirt
be careful. dont’ cancel yourself. You’ll get eaten by your own. Defunding the police is the lefty thing to do.
Let me tell you..... all dollars matter.... kkkkkk
Same in Seattle, people are tired of riots and looting, people don’t want to cut police budget, it is just media adding oil on the fire
But Obama is 'down with the revolution' and 'down with the struggle'
Well said these protesters are just doing chaos and anarchy and to improve lives, they too need to share the responsibility of living a good, decent life, do the hard work and away from criminal activities. This defund police cry from far left is ridiculous!
Now they’re talking 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I’m sure they know why too.
😂
File law suits against BLM and ANTIFA
I support Black Lives Matters. But many of those calling for defunding the police are white liberals who will retreat to their college campuses and secure suburbs when it gets out of control.
You don’t say? Maybe they’ll stop voting for the idiots in charge?
Good. Yes some police duties may be better performed by social workers, but there is still a huge amount of true police work to be done. Supplement and reform.
Someone told me, Do the WORK! Good advice. I need regular reminding. Jay_Pitter
Truthful,,,kids with no real world experience,,,can’t change many things behind your computer,,,the hood needs your hands
What hands on work are protestors supposed to be doing to change a systemic problem? So you are about expecting victims of abuse to change over the abuser? Is this like how the banks weren’t at fault for 2008, it was the fault of the consumer? victim blaming. How original
larryelder TheLeoTerrell Think Lefty Media will EEEEVVVVEEEERRRR cover this?
What I found in the Native American community here in South Dakota. (I am 97% Native so please do not discredit me.) I couldn't make it in the white world or mainstream society. So I decided to go to the reservations here in South Dakota to make a connection with where I came
Stand up MAGA
Of course the business owners are the ones smart enough to see through this BS. It's white anarchists and ignorant socialists who want to defund the police.
I saw a video of black men telling would-be rioters to leave their neighborhood alone. It was a beautiful thing to see. BLM WLM ALM OneNation ResistRioters Trump2020
They should try defunding the politicians first...
The same old heads that allowed things to get this bad mad at others for trying to clean some shit up, clown behavior.
Totally agree. These 'outsiders' are nothing but attention seeking opportunists who want to tear down the good guys (Police) so they can get the spotlight on themselves.
better training, background checks and annual mental and health check is what we need plus a strong law against corrupt officers and law enforcement.
Hollywood and all of Los Angeles turned into a cloaca with drug addicts and criminals.

People who educate themselves and understand how things work know the data and facts show decreased funding only ever leads to higher crime, lower property value, adversely affecting minority communities. Glad people who actually care and have no agenda are speaking up
No policy is perfect. Thanks for sharing the different story.
You don't say...
