Chicago police superintendent Garry McCarthy fired

Would any of the shops be open on CE? It's not like they cater to the type of people who wait until the last minute to buy gifts.

 

I would expect them to all be open.

That would be the default. Plus, rich husbands procrastinate. And, if they just got their Christmas bonus...

 

So the Magnificent Mile will be filled with liberals of all kinds.

 

Document Drop Reveals Damning Evidence In Laquan McDonald Shooting

 

What's "damning" about that? It's the words of the McDonald family attorney, saying what we all already know.

 

Nice work if you can get it:

Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced Sunday that a Chicago native once passed over for top cop will return to help guide civil rights reforms in the Chicago Police Department.

Recently retired Philadelphia police Commissioner Charles Ramsey, an architect of the Chicago department's community policing program, will return to advise city leaders on policies, training and accountability when it comes to the use of force, interactions with people with mental illness and community policing, the city said in a statement Sunday. Ramsey lost bids in 1992 and 1998 to become police superintendent in Chicago.

"Hopefully, we will begin to make progress, make inroads, in many communities where relationships are strained," said Ramsey, who grew up in Englewood.

Ramsey, 65, said he believes Emanuel and police commanders "have a sense of urgency" about making improvements.

"I wouldn't be a part of this if I didn't think their efforts were sincere," Ramsey said.

Ramsey will be paid $350 per hour as a consultant, the mayor's office said. He plans to begin work Monday, participating in a conference call with officials in Chicago. Ramsey, who lives in Philadelphia, also plans to frequently travel to Chicago to work with police officers, community members and the U.S. Justice Department, which announced a review of the department in December in the wake of the release of the Laquan McDonald video.

At $350 an hour my urgency ain't gonna be pegged ...

 

What happens if he goes past 40 hours?
Does he then get only the FOURTEEN-FUCKING-THOUSAND weekly rate?

Boy, that would suck.
