Chicago is facing a defining moment on the issues of crime and policing and the even larger issues of truth and justice. To meet this moment, we need to conduct a painful but honest reckoning of what went wrong â not just in one instance, but over decades. Then we need to determine what to do differently to ensure that incidents like this donât happen again.
We cannot afford to have any resident of our city living in fear of the police and distrusting their words and actions. And we cannot allow the crimes of a small number of officers to taint the good work of the vast majority who put their lives on the line every day.

How about Chiraq's 471 murders to date and counting?
Are they the Police's fault too?
Liberal POS

Twinkle Toes OWNZ Chicago’s South Side Utopian Status.
Him and his “take your stuff away to the alley”. He’ll end up not only owning this, but owning it to the full.
Twinkle Toes P0WNZ Chicago’s South Side Utopian Status.
Rahm Can Fix-it. (since Jeb! isn’t using the slogan).
Only question: How do you fix things just by ‘Rahming’ them?
The ruler of hell on Earth is going to fix it?
Yes, blaming the police force for isolated case is cowardly. But the lede of this story should be how he kept the video from being publicized for over a year because of an election.
You nailed it. And no one in the lapdog local media will call him on it.
“i own it” one of those phrases i loathe. also “not on my watch” and “i’m from the government, i’m here to help you.”
This MFer hasn’t ever “owned” anything in his life! And just how is he going to fix the problem? Hire another anti-2A Police Commissioner from another failed Eastern RAT-Run city? Get rid of rampant PE union corruption? Chicago would be infinitely safer tomorrow if they simply haded out guns to everyone and let the “natural selection process” run to conclusion.
He may want to focus on the black on black murders every weekend in Chicago.
The issue is your complicity Rahm.
You turned a blind eye for years.
Creative semantics and cooked statistics. By the time they're done re-defining "police brutality" and tinkering with the reports they'll have the number of reported incidents reduced by half in no time.
The little ballet dancer has always been a drama queen. There are no real men in the Democrat Party, only nancy-boys.
Nazi Germany proved that Nancy-boys can be very, very deadly.
He is going to fix it just like Baltimore did.
Compare police brutal nums versus black on black murders in chicago.
No, the truth will be clear then....
