Desperate to save his own head in the fallout over the recorded police killing of Laquan McDonald, Mayor Rahm Emanuel reached for another.

"I never quit on anything in my life," McCarthy told reporters late last week, after protesters closed Michigan Avenue on Black Friday, after the mayor hid out, lying low, letting McCarthy and Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez take all the heat.
"The mayor has made it very clear that he has my back," McCarthy said then.

VIDEO: Chicago Police Officer says Rahm Emanuel ‘involved in the cover-up of #LaquanMcDonald’
The former top cop needs to hit back with dirt on the most corrupt mayor in America...

Bwahahahaha...
What is that about honor among thieves?
Love the headline. Very Islamic.
A “Hail, Mary” moment if there ever was one....
The Kingpin in Chicago doesn’t want to give up his kingpindom.
Hey Rahm, is this a crisis that’s too good to waste?
5.56mm
Sounds very Moham-madman of him.
This POS in uniform was definitely offered options based on possible outcomes that will see him handsomely rewarded for towing the company line.
