Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson stated, “When I became superintendent, I pledged that I would look at the CPD from top to bottom to see what we could do to improve the city of Chicago. I think this is one of the ways we could do it.” However, everyone wasn’t completely supportive of the additional law enforcement. Al Sharpton denounced what he considered a potential problem with the new plan in a tweet. “I’m against seeing a police presence in the parts of Chicago where there are daily murders”, said Sharpton. “Because it might make law abiding citizens in those high crime areas feel uncomfortable if a cop ever gave them a suspicious glance.”
