'What can we do?' Alderman Austin demands of McCarthy

CHICAGO (WLS) -- A frustrated Chicago Alderman Carrie Austin questioned an equally frustrated Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy about violence during a City Council hearing on October 6, 2015.

"What is it that you can say, 'Alderman, you can put this in place with your CAPs and this is what we believe will work.' Try it!" Austin, banging her fist on the desk, said. "What else can you tell me we can do? Don't tell me about no legislation. We don't control them. What we control is here."

"I know what needs to happen. It's clear to me as anything on earth," McCarthy said. "It's a systematic failure and the system has to change."
