Former Chicago Police Chief: ‘Black Lives Matter’ To Blame For Rise In Violent Crime

Former Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy on Sunday blamed the Black Lives Matter movement for causing an uptick in violent crime inside the country.
According to The Hill, McCarthy blamed protests against police brutality in cities like Baltimore, Ferguson, Mo., and Charlotte, N. C., for creating a ‘political atmosphere of anti-police sentiment.’
‘So what’s happening, and this is ironic, is that a movement with the goal of saving black lives at this point is getting black lives taken, because 80 percent of our murder victims here in Chicago are male blacks,’ McCarthy said during a radio interview with John Catsimatidis on AM 970 in New York on Sunday.
