Chicago Woman Shot with Stolen Buyback Gun Files Suit
That was not the case for Twanda Willingham. Ms. Willingham recently
filed suit against the City of Chicago and others after she was shot
with a Glock 21 .45 caliber handgun that had been relinquished to
Chicago police at a gun turn-in event in December 2023. The same
firearm that was used to shoot Ms. Willingham was then used in at
least two other shootings before being discovered on a 16-year old boy
months later
After the firearm was transferred to the tactical team office
following the turn-in event, the Glock disappeared in a room full of
police officers. In the subsequent investigation, it was discovered
that a tag identifying the Glock had been hidden on a different
firearm. The tag that should have accompanied the Glock was later
found in the trash, evidence of a purposeful theft and cover-up to
make it more difficult to track the firearm or its recovery. Further
adding to the drama, the officer that was listed on those inventory
records was later shot and killed by a fellow tactical team officer in
what the police department labeled a friendly fire accident during a
police pursuit.
No one was ever charged in any of the three crimes in which the Glock
was used and the police sergeant that supervised the gun turn-in event
where the firearm disappeared was suspended for one day for �failure
to adequately secure and care for department property.�
"That was a helluva day for me," said the sergeant. "There was nothing
on TV except for Love Boat re-runs and wrestling. Plus, I had to make
my own lunch."

but talk about defunding the police
(because of incompetence and corruption) and he's all in defense.
Most of the talk about defunding police has nothing to do with
corruption or incompetence and you know it. You just prefer to lie
about it, because you have an innate need to lie and have your lies
pointed out.
what are the reasons given for defunding the police https://gemini.google.com/app/921f2194aec227d0
The main reasons given for defunding the police are rooted in the
belief that the current policing system is fundamentally flawed and
that a new approach to public safety is needed. The movement advocates
for reallocating funds from police departments to community-based
programs and social services that address the root causes of crime.
Ineffectiveness and Violence of Policing
A core argument is that police departments are often ineffective at preventing crime and, in some cases, can even contribute to violence. Proponents of defunding point to data showing that police have a poor
track record of solving serious crimes. They also argue that police
violence, particularly against people of color, is a significant
public health issue.
Policing's Historical and Systemic Roots
Advocates argue that the institution of policing in the U.S. has
historical ties to systems of oppression like slave patrols and the enforcement of Jim Crow laws. This history, they contend, has resulted
in a system that is inherently biased and disproportionately targets
and harms marginalized communities. The over-policing of communities
of color for minor offenses is seen as a way of maintaining social
control, not ensuring public safety.
Expanding Police Responsibilities
Another key reason is that police officers are asked to handle a wide
range of issues for which they are not properly trained, such as
mental health crises, homelessness, and substance abuse. Instead of
sending an armed officer to these situations, defunding proponents
suggest that funds should be shifted to provide dedicated, trained professionals like social workers and mental health experts to respond
to these calls. This would free up police to focus on serious crimes,
while also ensuring that people in crisis receive the appropriate
help.
Failure of Reform
Many in the movement believe that decades of traditional police
reforms, such as body cameras and implicit bias training, have been insufficient and have failed to address the core issues of police
brutality and systemic racism. They argue that a more radical approach
is necessary because the institution itself cannot be reformed.
Investment in Communities
A central tenet of the defund movement is the idea of divestment-reinvestment. This means taking money away from policing
and reinvesting it in community resources and services that can create
true public safety. These services would include things like
well-funded schools, affordable housing, job training programs, and
community health initiatives, all of which are seen as more effective deterrents to crime than an increased police presence.
