How Soon Before The Chicago Police And Rahm Become At Odds With Each Other?

[global1]

Rahm - though he says he's responsible - will do everything he can to not take the hit on this police scandal going on in Chicago.

Most people believe that Rahm viewed the video and determined it would be detrimental to his re-election. So it was suppressed and a $5 mil settlement was made to McDonald's family before even a lawsuit was filed. The intent was to sweep it under the rug. If the judge didn't push for the video to be released - there would be no DOJ investigation now. This would have all passed unnoticed.

Now that the DOJ is breathing down Chicago and Rahm's neck - watch for a lot of weasel words from Rahm and watch his finger continue to point to the Chicago Police, the police union, the internal investigators, etc.

I'm wondering how much of that the Chicago Police representatives will take before they lash out at Rahm and draw him into the scandal?

It's going to be interesting to see how this develops - but I really believe that it's going to take a Rahm resignation to put things right in Chicago again.

Both the Police force and the political structure of the city - aldermen and mayor - need a complete overhaul in order to instill confidence in the People of Chicago again.

1. I don't want him to resign if he saw the video and did nothing

If that isn't a behavior that is already illegal it should be. So, I want something more than a resignation. I want legislative action if this isn't already illegal.

2. Thanks for posting

One thing though, the person responsible for the video being released was the independent journalist who filed the FOIA request.

Thank Dog for the Judge who helped by following the rule of law.

3. Because of union issues lots of Chicago cops don't like Rahm
