Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday announced he has dismissed Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy, citing a lack of public trust in the police leadership in the wake of the high-profile shooting that eventually led to a white officer being charged with first-degree murder in the death of a black teen shot 16 times in a Southwest Side street last year.
"Superintendent McCarthy knows that a police officer is only as effective as when he has the trust of those he serves," Emanuel said at a City Hall news conference where he appointed a task force to look at police accountability.
Emanuel said he and McCarthy on Sunday began discussing the future of the Police Department and "the undeniable fact that the public trust in the leadership of the department has been shaken and eroded."
"This morning, I formally asked for his resignation," said Emanuel, who said McCarthy can be proud of his record. "Now is the time for fresh eyes and new leadership to confront the challenges the department and our community and our city are facing as we go forward."
Emanuel said he asked new First Deputy Superintendent John Escalante to serve as acting superintendent during a "thorough" search. . .

The Greek meaning of “pan” is not 100% equivalent to our English “all.” “All kinds of” is a possible rendering and the one that makes sense in context.
You have been running all around and still not disproved a racially seated thesis, where conditions in the organization are involved with this.
“Non-Partisan” in ChIcago being Dems who are either far left or far far left?
I’m sure there is some racially oriented bias on both sides. There always will be bias and distrust, when two different groups, be they racial, religious, tribal or even national, are involved in periods of conflict. Each group distrusts the other’s motivations and there are members in each group willing to fan the flames of discord. I would think that among blacks, in general, don’t hate cops and the minority of their minority do. Same with the cops, there is a bigoted minority of them that will shoot first and ask questions later. I cannot think of any test or oversight process that could prevent the hiring of prejudiced people, especially cops................
That works as well...............
He may be unworthy to be a cop, but the thrust of these purges is to replace white employees with black tokens - and not just in government jobs.
There is also a lot of white recent college grads and hipsters living in the city, who are there for a “good time”. The recent college grads will probably settle down, get married and move to the burbs, while the hipsters stay single starving artists for 40 years, before going on the public dole and living in a CHA retirement high rise community. Most all of them vote Democrat automatically too. Group A, (twice the median income) is the most annoying and they are probably the ones who put up all the “I’m With Rahm” signs in their front yards last Spring, to help keep Chuy from getting elected. But apparently their property taxes help fund the whole machine, and they mow their lawns, so I guess we have to bow to them for now.
The ballerina strikes first. However, his time in office is numbers. If he isn’t indicted for criminal activity, he will be on charges of “stupidity and incompetence in office”.
I wonder who will be the next Demo leftist prick to be elected mayor of Chicago? There are so many to choose from.
So....the mayor sandbags the police chief, but then says the chief should be proud of his record?????
If Old Man Daly wasnt dead this crap would have stroked him out.
Anita Alvarez (States Attorney) and her incompetence made this worse by charging Officer Van Dyke with first degree murder, a charge she cannot prove. First degree murder requires PREMEDITATION. There is simply no way Alvarez can prove Officer Van Dyke woke up that morning with a plan in his head to kill a black kid that was hopped up on PCP. Six seconds, the total time Van Dyke was on the scene before he started shooting is not premeditation either. Premeditation is a thoughtful, planned, willful act according to the law. Officer Van Dyke is guilty of none of those three criteria.
Anita Alvarez is either the most incompetent States Attorney there ever has been in Illinois (and we've had quite a few of them!) or she deliberately charged Van Dyke with a murder charge that will be impossible to prove.
Does Van Dyke belong in jail? Absolutely he does in my opinion. He has to be charged correctly in order to put him there. That won't happen thanks to Anita Alvarez's incompetence and firing Garry McCarthy is nothing more than Rahm Emmanuel trying to feed the alligators (the "black lies matter crowd") to try and save his own ass from being eaten by the political corruption he himself set in motion.
To truly understand what happened in this case, you have to have a deep appreciation for the level of corruption that exists in Chicago.
Keep in mind the following facts:
1. McDonald was shot during an election year in which black voters were (seemingly...) revolting against Rahm Emmanuel and threatening to vote for his opponent, the equally incompetent, inept and corrupt Chuy Garcia.
2. In order to keep Ferguson, MO from breaking out on Chicago's streets, Emmanuel and his supporters (mainly Emmanuel) really wanted to cover this incident up. So, a $5mm payout was ordered to be paid to McDonald's family without ever stepping into court and litigating the case.
If that's not a clear-cut sign by itself that the "fix was in" to cover this thing up and keep it quiet to Emmanuel would win re-election --- someone needs to tell me exactly what this is then.
A political cover-up by any other name, is still a political cover-up. Especially when it involves $5,000,000 of hush money to be paid without ever, EVER seeing the light of day in a court-house.
I remember Old Man Daley saying in 1968 during the Democrat Convention riots: The Police aren't here to create disorder, the Police are here to preserve disorder!
He wouldn't have stroked out, he'd be patting Emmanuel on the back!
It’s quite amusing all her (State’s Attorney Anita Alverez’s) former allies who backed her cause she’s Hispanic are calling for her head. Now they want to give the job to a Black chick, probably cause she’s Black like that one in Baltimore.
Crazy idea, maybe the GOP should try to run a real candidate against these clowns for this office, Cook had a GOP State’s Attorney as recently as the early 90’s and was close to electing a County Board President in ‘06. It’s a longshot but look at these miserable F-tards.
As for McCarthy, he was a clown like his predecessor, should have been axed long ago, you know cause of all the MURDERS on his watch. Unfortunately giving Jesse Jackson a rimjob seems to be a primary qualification for the job, someone should send that SOB back to Alabama or wherever the hell he came from.
Amen on McCarthy, thought all his problems would end if he could round up all the guns ...should have focused on rounding up all the criminals.
Orlando Wilson is the last "good" chief I can remember.
That is what McCarthy gets for spouting the left wing propaganda.
The buck stops over there!
A Republican is running for Cook Co. state’s attorney. I forgot who it is.
When Officer Van Dyke was released, on bond, some Blacks protested. When Tyshawn Lee’s killer was released, on bond, I don’t think anyone protested.
Gosh, he was a long time ago.
Filing deadline was today (or yesterday since it’s past midnight)
The Republican running is Christopher E.K. Pfannkuche, now there’s a surname for you! He’s a career prosecutor who’s worked for Cook and Macon counties, 31 years in the Cook SA office.

I may as well run down filing for Congress and other offices
The 2016 special election for Comptroller that I wish wasn’t happening is between appointed incumbent Leslie Munger (R) and Chicago City Clerk Susan Mendoza (D) (citywide officeholder seeking statewide office).
For the Senate Kirk has 2 primary challengers, serious candidate although unknown political non-entity James Marter http://www.marter4senate.us/
And one Elizabeth Diane Pahlke, some chick by that name was arrested in Cali for stalking actor (and Evanston native) John Cusack. I’m assuming it’s not the same woman but I can’t rule it out from their pictures, both are blonde. This one has a bizarre website
http://www.elizabethdianepahlkeussenate.com/about.html
It’s like an incomplete template of some businesses firm that is not a Senate campaign.
She also has a little used twitter account under Liz Pahlke that consists mostly or entirely of retweets. She ran as an “I” in the Jesse Jackass Jr. special election back in ‘13.
3 rats are running, Tammy “Look at me I lost limbs in Iraq” Suckworthless is likely to be the nominee, Andrea Zopp and Napoleon Harris are spitting the Black vote.
CD 1 Bobby Rush has 3 primary challengers, including Alderman Howard Brookins. 2 “Republicans” are running including Jimmie Tillman, ugh.
CD 2 Has a Republican running
CD 3 which will be contestable when Lipinski retires has a well known Neo-Nazi activist running as an R, the only one. SIGH
CD 4, My seat, no Republican. Hopefully one can be slated afterwards. Guit has a serious primary challenger for the first time in ever, Javier Salas says he hasn’t done enough for illegals (lolololol) and is a race traitor for backing Rahm over Chuy Garcia.
CD 5, No R, Three Greens for the 30 or so people who’ll choose to vote in the Green Primary to choose from. ‘|’
CD 6, Pete Roskam (R) has minor opposition in the primary and general
CD 7, No R
C8, Suckworth’s open seat, DuPage County Board Member Pete DiCianni is the most prominent GOP candidate. Rat State Sen, Mike Noland is among 3 rats running. I’d call Noland the favorite.
CD 9, 3 Rs running, Ad writer Joan McCarthy Lasonde, Paulbot David Williams III and last time’s nominee, Susanne Atanus, who says gays are to blame for tornados, I endorsed your write in bid over her, Phil. Go Joan, whoever you are.
CD 10, The rat chump that RINO Bob Dold beat wants a rematch, but Brad the rat has a serious primary challenger in the Mayor of Highland Park.
CD 11, 3 Rs running against Rat Rep Bill Foster. DuPage County Board Member Tonia Khouri is the most serious. Another is Bill White, who is Black. White is a Nuclear Physicist. If he wins the primary it’ll be Physicist V Physicist, which would likely be unprecedented. It’s usually Lawyer V. Lawyer.
CD 12, The scumbag the rats are putting up against freshman R Mike Bost is C.J. Baricevic. The J stands for Jerk, I can’t post what the C stands for. 2 Greens are running, which is good, the Green got 5.6% last time, though Bost topped 50% and didn’t need it.
CD 13, RINO Rodney Davis has a primary challenger in Pharmacist Ethan Vandersand, no chance. A Macon County Board Member is the rat running. Former rat nominee David Gill may run as an “I”, deadline for “I”s is not till June I think.
CD 14, 3 rats oppose Randy Hultgren (R) who’s safe.
CD 15, No D filed, John Shimkus (R) has a primary challenge from State Sen Kyle McCarter, I’m inclined to support McCarter, Shimkus’s record isn’t great lately.
CD 16, No D filed, Colin McGroarty, a tea party activist is opposing RINO Adam Kinzinger, no chance
CD 17, 2 nobody Rs running against rat Cheri Bustos
CD 18, RINO Lathug Jr. is unopposed
“Filing deadline was today (or yesterday since it’s past midnight)”
Or the 30th, whatever day that was. ;p
