In the perspective of the Michael Brown incident, and the vilification of Officer Wilson, this video by the Milwaukee police chief makes an oft-missed point about the realities of violence in the black community and in some large cities.

As counterpoint to all the protestations that are being made across the country by those who misguidedly believe that Micheal Brown needs to be avenged, why is it that there is so little caring, or indeed news coverage, for the 29 teenagers (13 - 19) who died in Chicago since Micheal Brown died? Maybe because most of the murderers were also black?
See Breitbart: Media-Ignore-224-Teenagers-Killed-in-Chicago-Since-Michael-Brown-Was-Shot
(It appears this number is not really correct, and that the author grabbed the wrong number. See the comments to the Breitbart article, and below on the heyjackass site.) However, the expression of wonderment at the lack of publicity is the key point.
Here is a running list website that lists Chicago victims: http://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/2014-chicago-murders I am not sure that this site contains a full listing.
Here is another site: http://homicides.suntimes.com/
And another: http://homicides.redeyechicago.com/ 11 Deaths between Nov 13 and 19.
It is interesting that these sites disagree on actual numbers. EXCEPT, that the numbers are horribly high.
So, continuing my investigation, here is another site that has numbers similar to Brietbart, but the 244 number is for teens were shot and injured, while 29 teens were killed and total murders of all ages were 155 (74% black males). http://heyjackass.com/ My impression is that Heyjackass has the best numbers, but I have not tried comparing to Chicago PD stats.
An scary stat on the Heyjackass site is the clearance rate for murders. Only about 1/3 result in charges.
Another stat of note: Almost 80% of victims are black, while almost 69% of attackers are black.
