Video of an arrest of a man armed with body armor and a Draco style rifle near the 4200 block of W North Ave on September 20, 2023. Joshua Carmona, 25 at the time of his arrest, was charged with felony counts of Armed Violence, Aggarvated Unlawful Use of Weapon/Body Armor, Manufacturing and Delivery of a Controlled Substance and Manufacturing and Delivery of Cannabis. He was ultimately sentenced to 3 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. Kudos to Chicago Police cpd25thdistrict on their work displayed here. #ChicagoScanner

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson scolds a Latina female reporter for asking whether or not he's going to the Bears game while he goes to London (He coincidentally decided to go to London to "attract business" to Chicago the same week of the Bears game). It's disrespectful and condescending for pointing out that the "Black man" is going to London for a Bears game. He ends it by essentially saying yes, he'll be at the game to "root for the Chicago Bears."

Reminder Brandon Johnson thought Looting was ok because the Businesses have insurance . Hear it for yourself in the video below . So in other words in a Chicago with Brandon Johnson in charge looting would be okay and more Businesses would simply just leave causing economy problems . #ChicagoElection

Mayor Brandon Johnson was recently revealed to have spent $80,000+ on redecorating his wife's office, including $43,000 on furniture alone (a chair costing $2,200+, a desk at $4,4000, 2 chairs totaling $8,300). When asked about it, Johnson essentially says these purchases aren't going to change anything regarding city finances. This all comes at a time when Johnson seeks to get approval for a $1.5 billion bond issuance and a $300 million loan for Chicago Teacher's Union contract demands and the city faces $1 billion deficit and there is the potential for layoffs and cuts, including to police and fire. Johnson has already cancelled the next 2 Chicago Police academy classes. #Chicago

Crime is trending down thanks to Superintendent Larry Snelling and State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke but things like this video from a shooting in September at 79th and Western still occur. A world class city should be devoid of this. Progress has been made thanks to law enforcement leadership, but it's still shocking to see and far too common. #Chicago #ChicagoScanner
