Chicago Superintendent of Police Eddie Johnson on Thursday fired back after President Trump said the city needed help dealing with its violence problem, saying the department asked the White House for help but still hasn't heard back.
"We have challenges with gun violence in several neighborhoods on the South and West sides of the city. It's unacceptable to me, to the Mayor and to Everyone who lives in Chicago," Johnson said in a statement.
"We've made requests to the White House and the Justice Department for them to support our work — from increasing federal gun prosecution to more FBI, DEA and ATF agents to more funding for mentoring, job training and more. We are still waiting for the administration's response to our request."
