Mayor Rahm Emanuel appealed to Chicago residents for help fighting the troubling rise in city violence, announcing youth mentoring efforts, policing strategies and gun legislation as his plan to fight and prevent crime. Outside, there were a few protesters calling for scrutiny of police misconduct investigations, a theme that's rippled for months. His speech also touched on new technology, including gunshot-tracing cameras; gun shop legislation; and the need for more neighborhood resources. During the speech, Emanuel described several high-profile cases, his voice cracking when noting the shooting death of the 19-year-old son of a Chicago police officer. Emanuel didn't specify how the city would pay for the new efforts in his speech, including the addition of the new officers, which is expected to cost about $134 million.
