Operation LeGend walked through the door. That's Big L. Little e. Big G. Little e n d. Emmerson Buie Jr., the FBI special-agent-in-charge of its Chicago office, made the announcement Friday. “Operation LeGend is new, but the fight is the same,” he said.
In the next few weeks, agents would be handing out business cards to Chicago residents and community leaders, urging them to use 1-800-CALL-FBI, a tip line for the public to provide confidential information about crimes in their neighborhoods.
Operation LeGend was named in honor of slain 4-year-old "LeGend" Taliferro in Kansas City, Missouri, where it began. Charron Powell lost her 4 year-old son LeGend in June. The boy was asleep inside a KC-M apartment when he was shot and killed. Ms.Powell said “We have 20 to 30 shootings a week in the Kansas City metro area. If you don’t see a problem with that, like I said, you may need to reevaluate your thoughts and think about [it]."
In addition to Chicago and Kansas City, Operation Legend covers St. Louis, Albuquerque, Cleveland, Detroit, Memphis and Milwaukee. Each city has endured violence spikes in the wake of unrest after the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minnesota on May 25th.
Some of you may think that the Long Arm Of The Law is getting too long.
Look at those streets littered with bodies.
Bodies with bullet holes.
What are these protests and riots achieving?
Is it 'us' we're decieving?
