The leadership of the department should have been fired after it was revealed that they were running a black site.

It's fucking disgraceful that a person like Emanuel was a high-ranking member of the Democratic caucus in the House and the POTUS's chief of staff.

Been watching comments made by D.C. Big Shots when asked about Rahmn and his out of control Police Department. You could see this coming.
