HeyJackass seems to be winding down. Is it financial?

I've gone to HeyJackass for at least a decade now for it's humorous but reliable take on Chicago crime stats. Where everywhere else seems intent on political commentary first (I'm an opinions to myself person, and wish others would be too), it's always refreshing to see just the numbers so we can figure out for ourselves how things are going in the city.

Anyway, does anyone whose been paying more attention know what's going on over there. Is the dude(s) running it retiring, need more tips? Just curious.

Family Seeking Video of Incident Outside Bandit Chicago — 1–1:30 AM 8/15?

We’re family members trying to locate video of a physical altercation that happened on the sidewalk close to the entrance of Bandit, 841 W. Randolph St., between approximately 1:00–1:30 AM overnight Friday, August 14 into Saturday, August 15.
There were people nearby, and we’re hoping someone may have captured the incident on their phone or posted a video to TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, or elsewhere.
We’re specifically looking for video of the incident itself. If you recorded anything or came across a video from that time and location, please DM us. Even a short clip could be very helpful.

Massive, off-duty Chicago cop punches teenage girl for video recording (she is not actually shown on screen though, so I'm hoping this video doesn't violate any rules).

The cop enters the scene at about the 50 second mark, but the video leading up to that gives important context.

This happened in my city, and happened on either Saturday or Sunday. CPD's has opened an official investigation, which means this guy is definitely a Chicago cop...but I don't want to name him until his identity is officially confirmed. If he is who everyone says he is, he was an amateur MMA fighter around 2009-2010 (with 3 documented fights).

The girl who was punched is 13 years old, based upon the reports I've seen.
