Superintendent of Chicago Police Gary McCarthy is a very passionate and down to earth person. This same passion is the reason why he played tackle football until age 49. He say’s that “If it weren’t for size, speed, talent & strength, he’d be in the NFL.” All jokes aside, this guy is still in very good shape.
He told the Hales Franciscan audience that the key to success is finding something that makes you excited. Find something that inspires you and God will handle the rest.
1) What advice does he have for people that are stopped by the Cops?
Comply, Comply, Comply. Police Officers are taught to take control of a situation. Studies have shown that they end up shot when they don’t take control. Superintendent McCarthy says he’s teaching officers how to speak cordially once they have taken control of the situation.
2) Where are the Illegal guns in Chicago coming from?
Mississippi, and Indiana. Superintendent McCarthy said that in 30 years he’s only seen one murder with a legal gun. The CPD recovers 7 illegal guns for every 1 recovered in NYC. (NYC is three times bigger than Chicago)!
McCarthy will cut crime down by putting cops where they’re supposed to be. Superintendent of Chicago Police Gary McCarthy Speaks at Hales Franciscan High School
