Officer is out after posting $150k bail.

I really thought they would burn the city down. From everything I have read, it seemed like it was pretty calm.

There was method to the release. It was done heading into a weekend, leading into Thanksgiving, and not to mention it was snowing and colder in Chicago.

Chief of Police has been fired.

Follow up on the allegation that Chicago PD took security video from the local BK.

Should be since he controls what the officers do at all times and determines how they act and react.

Should have been done the last time a kid was arrested for suspicion of DUI.

Does the Mayor also resign now? No way he didn't know about the $5 million payout to the victims family. As far as I'm concerned he's part of the problem also.

The journalist who forced the city to release the video is still doing an investigation.

I have said this all along. Manuel needs to go too.

Shocks me how Emanuel has gone unscathed, relatively speaking, through this ordeal.

 

Again, the $5MM payout was NOT authorized by the Police Department. That came from the City Council and presumably other upper level management. People saying this was a Police cover-up are missing the boat.

Wouldn't the Mayor know what the $5 million was being spent on by the city council? If he didn't, that's just as bad.

Yes, that is what I meant by "upper level management." You don't just have a random $5MM unauthorized expenditure in a department.

Gotcha. I misread your post.

By no means will you hear anyone on the Left calling for the ouster of Emanuel. Matter of fact, I will wager they side step that issue all together.

Lots of scathing criticism of Emanuel in this article from the Chicago Tribune:

 

Emanuel dismisses top cop Garry McCarthy amid pressure for change - Chicago Tribune

 

It also mentions that the shooter in this case had 12 open complaints against him. That one is on the police chief. He shouldn't have been on the streets. McCarthy should have been fired and Emanuel forced out years before after he defended an officer that murdered Rekia Boyd.
