=== “Organized retail crime takes many forms and is not limited to any one type of business or region of Illinois.” ===
AG Raoul is calling out the dogwhistles.
Republicans want you to believe that all crime happens in Chicago, and is only committed by Black street gangs.
Lots of middle-aged White folks from Central Illinois namechecked in that press release.
Cop-adjacent bloggers in Chicago would be wallpapering the internet with mugshots if the arrestees were Black, with photos courtesy of the CPD communications department, and Paul Vallas would be retweeting to the heavens.
Good luck finding a headshot on twitter if the perps are White.
