Regarding the article “2 women killed in North Side shooting were innocent bystanders, police say; 3rd victim ID’d” (Oct. 17, TribLIVE): Gee whiz, mayor, we pay your salaries, benefits and pensions, but it’s not enough? You want us to do your jobs for you as well?

Maybe go after the criminal justice system, as Major Crimes Cmdr. Richard Ford and other public safety officials have expressed frustration with? Or would you rather we do that also, and continue to pay all their salaries, benefits and pensions too?

Please, mayor, and police departments, officers, do your jobs — that we pay you to do. If you don’t like the job, quit and find some other job.
