Expect Chicago homicides to drop dramatically.

The ones you hear about, anyway...
Police Supt. Jody Weis knows that he will ultimately find himself on the hotseat for the surge. But, he’s got a new defense.

He's creating a new category of "indoor" homicides — and downplaying what police can do about them..

“Those homicides that are outdoors — the ones that I do believe we have a good possibility of preventing — we’re around 98 homicides for Chicago outdoors. That’s as low as it’s ever been, except for 2007, when I believe we had 97 homicides outdoors as of this date,” he said.
Any day now, The Onion's going to give up the fight to keep up with reality. You just can't make this stuff up.

Tell me again why we pay cops?

Er, not to put too fine a point on it, but methinks the answer is in all those evil black rifle muzzles pointed at us. There is, after all, a limit to what even the insane will do voluntarily.
