Chicago top cop Eddie Johnson to announce retirement soon, report says

Eddie Johnson, the beleaguered Chicago Police superintendent, is reportedly set to announce his retirement this week -- a move that comes just days after Johnson said he was only considering resigning and amid an investigation into an incident in which officers found Johnson asleep in his car at a stop sign.

Johnson is expected to put an end to his 31 years of service in the city’s police department later this week, sources told the Chicago Tribune on Wednesday. He's overseen policing in Chicago -- one of America's most crime-ridden cities -- since 2016.

If Johnson steps down by the end of the week, it would be the second high-profile police retirement this week. On Monday, New York City Police Commissioner James O'Neill announced he was resigning after three years in order to take a job in the private sector.

With the crazy lib mayors in both NY and Chicago, who would want to be the top cop?

The political hacks won't back the street cops and that puts the top cop into a real bad spot.

In his defense, it did say “Stop” and you can only stay awake so long when you are waiting for it to say “Go”.

He failed at everything but one, enriching himself at taxpayer expense. Now it’s off to the Florida links!

Just 14,000+ people shot wounded or killed while he was in his job. He retires with a 6 figure pension.
