With cops overwhelmed by Mexican Independence Day crowds, high-ranking Chicago cop "coded out" hours worth of aging 911 calls
With Chicago police overwhelmed by Mexican Independence Day crowds in the Loop this weekend, 911 calls for help across two police districts stacked up and waited for hours because no cops were available.

CPD will enjoy a small side benefit from Novalez’s order: By not responding to 911 calls, fewer police reports are written and, magically, crime goes “down.”
btw - what's the per capita analysis say?
