Many community members on the south side of Chicago are outraged that an undercover sting has been going on without even the knowledge of the 6th ward alderman, Roderick Sawyer. Along with Norfolk Southern Railway, Chicago Police Department have been working to catch thieves.
Sawyer stressed that while trust between the community and police is an effort they are trying to build, these undercover operations tear it apart. Folks are saying that police should focus on reform and building community relationships.
