As the situation has been brought under control, our team was on the prowl to assess some of the reaction. For us, this from the BBC was disheartening:
Stories about Chicago and other large cities continue to be challenging as the Country was reminded as Chicago's Mayor fired the Police Chief on how crime is continuing to increase. Yet, this particular "brutally honest" depicition still left us speechless.

(Update: The latest news conference was held within the past hour. The Police Chief for the City of San Bernardino briefed all on the status--including the injured, the fallen and the police officers injured.

We also released a View of the Week on this earlier in the #Outsider Education Channel).
