Gianno Caldwell Speaks Out After Losing His Brother to Chicago Gang Violence: ‘We Need To Uncuff the Police’

EXCERPT:

CALDWELL: "Sean, I come here tonight as a man who feels shattered. My baby brother, Christian, who just turned 18 this year is no longer with me. He — he was a good kid. And certainly, knowing that living in Chicago seemingly comes with a price these days, but I never would’ve intended or rather expected that it would come with a death sentence for my baby brother. Black bodies are being littered in the streets of Chicago, and it’s not just impacting African Americans here, it’s impacting everyone. You can’t go Downtown Chicago now without looking around your shoulder. You may be shot there. The truth of the matter is, we need to uncuff the police and that’s what's happened. The policies, the soft-on-crime policies that have been pushed by many of the elected officials here are only causing more crime. They only bear dead fruit and now my family is paying the price."
