I guess they should have applied the "You can always retreat, delegate to a specialist...etc" You may argue about whether chicago police department is "capable" - they certainly have very strict gun laws which don't seems to be preventing this gun violence. But if they are not capable, "retreating" doesn't seem to be helping these people. Or are they doing it wrong?

Chicago has strict gun laws. Illinois doesn't. The trouble with a raw list of stats is that there's no context; why are all these shootings happening? They don't all or even mostly seem to be armed robbery.

  This is incorrect. Unlike the vast majority of US states, Illinois requires any possessor of firearms or ammunition to have a state issued license. Illinois bans the possession of Class III firearms. Certain jurisdictions in Illinois, such as Cook County, ban modern sporting rifles.
