He calls the superintendent's so-called 'gang summit' initiative to crack down on crime 'a joke' that won't stem violence. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green)AP - Calling the Chicago police chief's ultimatum to stop resorting to violence a waste of time, current and former members of some of the city's most notorious street gangs held an unlikely news conference on Thursday to send their own message to police: You're not playing fair.
