CPD superintendent Eddie Johnson expresses support for gun-crime bond reforms
Chicago Police Department superintendent Eddie Johnson now “supports efforts to reform Illinois law to make it harder for those charged with gun crimes to post bail,” according to the Tribune. “For us, as a logically thinking society, wouldn’t it be prudent for us to make sure those violent people stay where they are until they get their day in court?” he said at a news conference Sunday. “Makes sense to me, so we do need to look at all aspects of our judicial system and tighten it up.” [Tribune]
