Chicago mayor fires police chief in wake of video release. Rahmbo makes the cheesedick move and fires the guy who was covering for him during his re-election. Maybe he’ll decide to sing like a canary about that $5 million bribe settlement.

CRITICAL MEMBERSHIP UPDATE
On Wednesday (25 NOV 15) members of the Cook County State's Attorney office took it upon themselves to release an individual who was charged with Felony Aggravated Battery to a Police Officer. The arrest and subsequent felony resulted when this offender struck a uniformed Chicago Police Officer during an anti-Police demonstration that occurred the prior evening.
There has been much speculation, rumor and innuendo bantered about, and in order to address our Members' concerns, we wanted to take a moment to address this very serious issue. Since Wednesday, the Lodge has been in contact with the victim-Officer, the Superintendent, and even the #2 person from the office of the Cook County State's Attorney.
Shortly after this improper decision by the ASA's office took place, this travesty made its way to Washington Boulevard. The Lodge immediately made attempts to get answers as to how and why this offender could have possibly been released. Furthermore, how was he released from BOND COURT?
The following is a brief and hopefully clarifying explanation of what the Lodge found out.
First off, and after speaking with the Officer involved, we learned that he was never notified for his input as to the seriousness of his injuries, nor was he asked whether or not he wanted to proceed with (or drop) the criminal case. Upon learning of the charges being dropped the injured Officer was shocked to say the least and repeatedly asked how this could have happened.
We then spoke with the #2 person in the ASA's office who related that it was his office's opinion that the injured Officer, the Superintendent and the Lodge were all on board with the release. It was further relayed that everyone had communicated to each other that the offender was planning on making an apology to the injured Officer. He also stated that he was informed the Officer's injuries were not significant. When we asked if he had verified ANY of these statements, we were told "No". When then asked why the ASA would release a person who had felony charges for such a serious incident, especially during a time when the last thing anyone wants is demonstrators to think they could get away with striking uniformed Police Officers, we were told "things were moving at light speed". When we mentioned that dropping charges in bond court have never before occurred and that it was an unprecedented decision by the State's Attorney, we were told "everything that is going on now is unprecedented." We then asked what impact any unprecedented incident occurring on the streets of Chicago has to do with the legalities of the Court. Once again we received a reference having something to do with light speed.
Superintendent McCarthy was our next call. He related that there were attempts to have the offender apologize to the Officer, but they might meet sometime after the bond hearing played out. Once we told the Superintendent that the offender was released, he stated that any plans for an apology were in no way ever connected to/or part of an attempt to influence the Officer to not proceed with criminal charges. To be perfectly clear with our Members, the Lodge is extremely confident that Superintendent McCarthy was genuinely surprised and quite disappointed after we informed him of the offender's release.
So there you have it, in a proverbial nut shell. We believe that the takeaways from this Blast are five-fold.
1.) The Officer was never contacted about, nor did he agree to drop the charges.
2.) The Superintendent was never on-board with releasing the offender.
3.) The Lodge has been working with and assisting the Officer on re-instating the charges.
4.) The ASA's office needs to be TRUTHFUL with answers on what REALLY happened.
5.) The State's Attorney's office has difficulty functioning at light speed.
Now wait just a minute right there. I watch COPS on TV, so I'm pretty much an expert on this. I've seen many perps, when caught and cuffed, apologize to the officer for what they've done. Usually after a lengthy vehicle and foot pursuit. I have YET to see the cops take off the cuffs and tell the perp he was free to go.
That's because Barky isn't there to save the day.
The ASA’s office needs to be TRUTHFUL with answers on what REALLY happened.
That will never happen, because nobody will want to implicate King Barky in the release.

Chicago Threat Came Amid Tension Over Police Shooting.
That's interesting.
Reminds me of South Parks Naught Ninjas episode.
And what is the definition of scapegoat? Doesn't help that the 5 million bribe had to be approved by someone much higher up the food chain.
jersey joe mc carthy gets thrown under the steam roller---another goat for the white liberal assclowns who ruin--er run chi-crapistan. i wonder who the next reamer will be. and the killings will continue.
Isn't this the police chief who supported Rahm during his election? Makes me wonder how much the chief got under the table to put his head on the chopping block.
And now there's another one:

Why isn't Barry sending the DoJ to investigate? Sure seems like a pattern to me.
And I thought Chicago was broke? Where'd they get the 5 mil to pay off that family? And where, pray tell, are they gonna get the NEXT 5 mil to hush up this NEW family?
Rahm Emanuel doesn't deserve impeachment...he deserves a PRISON sentence. A LONG prison sentence.
Eighty minutes? That's some pretty serious ass covering.
he belongs in a cell next to his pal blajo-bitch
The words Jeff Zucker & mistake are redundant. Zucker is a disaster. CNN doesn't make real progress to become a competitive cable outlet, they would get rid of Zucker.
DAMN! This is the 2nd post that I just got notification for tonight that's almost 30 days old!
A head must be cut off to satisfy the ignorant horde known as BLM. Cutting the head off a white guy is the only way to do it. Rahm needs to be impeached but the chance of that happening in Chitcago are about the same as President Poo Flinger saying something that makes sense.
We have an unusual situation here. Black people are calling for the head of an Obama pal. They are shouting into TV cameras to impeach Rahm. This is going to get interesting.
The DoJ will suddenly come in and rescue Emanuel's ass and all will be swept into Lake Michigan
When you become a puppet on the string of some dip shit politician and forget about being a cop, this shit will happen. Not so Silent is correct. The white guy had to go in order to appease the masses. Anyone else notice that Rahm waited until after the election to allow the video to be released?
To say nothing of the fact that BO's Ministry of Justice will take no interest whatsoever in checking into the political influence on the 'investigation' into the original shooting.
Maybe, but there seems to be more then meets the eye here.
in chi-ganistan there is ALWAYS more than meets the eye
Rahm was asked by a reporter what the superintendent did wrong, and he did not have an answer. Of course, the correct answer is he was used as a human sacrifice.
