Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday fiercely resisted calls to follow his police superintendent in stepping down, even as the city continues to roil over the dashcam video released last week showing 17-year-old Laquan McDonald being shot by police.
Asked at a POLITICO Playbook event whether he planned to resign, the notoriously brazen Emanuel sneered and made light of the question. âNo, because I really so much look forward to this interview and I wanted to have it. I just felt so good saying that to you,â Emanuel said, explaining that Chicago voters already put their faith in him.

To fend off criticism, the mayor on Tuesday fired Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy for becoming a âdistractionâ in the case. Emanuel said that for more than a year, he faced mounting pressure to fire McCarthy. But Emanuel resisted, citing a drop in homicides and the overall crime rate under the police superintendentâs watch. And even days after the dashcam video was released and public fury was high, McCarthy maintained confidence that Emanuel supported him. âWhat I will tell you is the mayor has made it very clear. He has my back,â he said on Friday.
By Tuesday, things had changed.

I wonder how many dead fish he has already received? lol what a stinkin’ mess, Lucy.
What’s he gonna do when the cops implicate him in the cover-up? Get out the 0dunga/Hillary playbook!
He needs to go. He was big in slick willy era. He’s totally incompetent and a total asshat to boot.
Another good reason to move to Indiana.
Got a little ‘crisis’ going there, eh, Rahm? How’s it feel?
There's an actual online skywriting generator
Leave him alone you brutes. He is taking his family to the motherland for Christmas. Can’t a guy get a komrade pass?

As long as his friend is in the WH, he has a secure job.
Resign, ballerina Rahm!!
