Gang Members Blast City, Police Policies
Supt. Weis Has Threatened To Go After Gangs With Federal LawCHICAGO (CBS) ?
-
- Self-described Conservative Vice Lords member Barrion Dupree El, and former gang members Reginald Akeem Berry Sr. and Wallace "Gator" Bradley discuss city and police policy.
At a news conference organized by self-identified gang members Thursday morning, several speakers complained that police and city officials do not respect them, and that the only way to curb violence is to provide jobs and improve their community.
The men who spoke out Thursday morning blamed poverty, drugs and a lack of jobs for the problems in the streets. They also said that Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis' meeting with so-called gang leaders was a waste of time.
But when asked what could be done right now to stop the daily barrage of bullets on Chicago streets, they didn't have an answer.
The self-described current and former gang members held a news conference at the Columbus Park Refectory, at 5701 W. Jackson Blvd. on the city's West Side.
"The problem with them is that they're giving us an ultimatum – quit – instead of an alternative. But we're offering these young men an alternative, saying, 'Get off the corner selling these bags, and come to this construction site and pick up this brick," Reginald Akeem Berry Sr., an admitted former gang member, said.
