Sounds like a case of “gay” privilege to me. The LGBT came down on somebody.

“....rahm is appearing pissed at the decision ....”

Yes he is “law & order” posturing for some reason.

Is he up for re-election soon?

So it’s basically a first offence “admission and small penalty” and a clean record for your first offense sort of thing. I get that.

Wait, it just struck me. Doesn’t he already have a record?

Guessing lots of people have probably fingered Kamala Harris, but Jussie ain’t one of them.

The police chief needs to call a press conference to express his outrage and to personally and publically ask the justice department to move ahead with federal charges and a hate crime enhancement. Will he?

You get special preferences based on the color of your skin and your sexual practice preferences.

Maybe cancelled, maybe not. I watched a few minutes and went elsewhere. Maybe it's a black thing. It would be interesting to see the demographic of the show's viewers.

“I can tell you that Chicago Police are furious over State Attorney Kim Foxx’s decision to drop all charges against Jussie Smollett”

The “Chief Eddie”- Fake outrage—

He purposefully lost this case by giving GOOFY police conference on Smollett- detailng not only CHARGES BUT CRIMES COMMITTED!!

That is NOT what the police are supposed to do- one statement only: Charges are forthcoming- end of story

He went on and on and on with the FAKE rage so the CHARGES would be dropped!

I have Multiple relatives working in the court system-you
NEVER EVER disclose what chief Eddie disclosed in his faked
outrage diatribe— looosers and corruption everywhere- Especially :

Sanfrancisco
NEWyork
Chicago
Minneapolis
Baltimore
Detroit

See a pattern? look at the DA’s- the chiefs,the mayors
Most if not all work for the DEMON party- not the citizens

Rahm appears to be against this decision

Yeah, I saw him on TV. He said it makes all black hate crime claims unbelievable going forward. Did you believe him? I didn't.

That's Rahm Emanuel, Obama buddy, Chicago politician. He's just pretending to play "bad cop" to placate the Chicago PD.

No, his record will still be there, whether or not it’s “on the books”.

apparently, the only justification that the prosecutors used is was that the ‘brothers’ said that the money was used for ‘training’ (according to Emanuel). All of the other evidence was thrown out. That is why the major and Police chief are going ballistic. Justice is subverted by Michelle Obama and her ‘higher ups’.
