Johnson said Tuesday that “the community is not responsible for the violence that occurred. But, at the same time, we all have a role to play in reducing violence.”
Emanuel doubled down on his call Monday for people to “be a neighbor” and “speak up” to identify shooters. He said Tuesday an “attitudinal change” is needed to tamp down the carnage.
“This might not be politically correct, but I know the power of what faith and family can do,” Emanuel said. “There is nothing on the streets of Chicago that is stronger than what is in the faith community and what’s in family. Our kids need that structure.”
Emanuel acknowledged generations of disinvestment in the neighborhoods where much of the violence is concentrated, “but we also have to be conscious and aware that there is sometimes also a spiritual deficit,” he said.
“I know what the podium can do. But I’ve also seen what the power of the pulpit can do. And if they’re both pointed in the same direction, we will get there a lot faster,” Emanuel said.
Please cut & paste the offensive quote & explain why it is so offensive to you & others.
