Chicago's police union is 'the sworn enemy of black people,' Rep. Bobby Rush says after protest
Chicago Tribune ^ | 4/06/19 | Juan Perez Jr.

After a week of heated protests and calls for her resignation, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx and African-American leaders condemned Chicago’s police union and defended how the prosecutor’s office addressed an actor’s alleged hate crime hoax.

Foxx vowed to remain at her post during a Saturday news conference, despite intense controversy sparked in March when her office dropped a 16-count indictment that accused television actor Jussie Smollett of orchestrating a racist and homophobic attack on himself to advance his career.

Foxx declined to address “the substance of the case” with reporters gathered at the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition headquarters, though she’s faced mounting pressure to specify why Smollett’s prosecution was so quickly abandoned.

But U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush, activist Ja’Mal Green, Jackson and a group of other Foxx supporters blamed the city’s Fraternal Order of Police for a Monday confrontation over the Smollett case that displayed some of the city’s racial and political divisions.

The CPD is pretty close to open rebellion. They’ve had it. This summer will not be pretty.

Then let black people police their own neighborhoods.

I’m sick of the left controlling the narrative. It had nothing to do with advancing his career. Like all the “hate crime” hoaxes, whether against gays, muslims or minorities, it was purely political and designed to influence public opinion against conservatives and President Trump.

Southern IL needs to be its own state. Downstate IL is beautiful and have one of the largest coal reserves in the world, but they can't touch it because of elites in Springfield by way of Chicago.

Chicago simply has too much power. No area of any state should have control over a state. Here in WI, Milwaukee and Madison calls the shots. IL is all red and voted for Trump except for Cook County and some of the collar counties, which kept the state blue.

Project Vote Smart shows Bobby Rush supporting NARAL and Planned Parenthood since 1996....I guess exterminating the black population doesn’t make you a sworn enemy in Bobby Rush’s eyes.....

Rush, Foxx, Smollett, the CPU, the FOP, Jackson, Green, are all degenerate pigs.

Whites, in general, are weak, frightened losers.

I was born in 1950, I yearn for 1949.

I’d love to see them try it in Pullman, Austin, or Garfield Park. There’d be dead muzzies stacked shoulder high.

Blame Reynolds v. Sims, which mandated the one-man, one-vote nonsense for both houses of each state’s legislature, thus causing power to be concentrated in populous parts of the states.

“Southern IL needs to be its own state.”

Just what America needs, 2 more Dem Senators from Chicago in perpetuity.

Terrible idea.

Leftist racebaiting nitwits are the actual enemy of the black people.

White people, brown people and every other people too ... while we’re at it.
