After a week of heated protests and calls for her resignation, Cook County States Attorney Kim Foxx and African-American leaders condemned Chicagos police union and defended how the prosecutors office addressed an actors alleged hate crime hoax.
Foxx vowed to remain at her post during a Saturday news conference, despite intense controversy sparked in March when her office dropped a 16-count indictment that accused television actor Jussie Smollett of orchestrating a racist and homophobic attack on himself to advance his career.
Foxx declined to address the substance of the case with reporters gathered at the Rev. Jesse Jacksons Rainbow/PUSH Coalition headquarters, though shes faced mounting pressure to specify why Smolletts prosecution was so quickly abandoned.

2 years on market and no takers? That’s got to be frustrating. I hope your brother can help and you and the folks can find a way to move somewhere that will make you happier. When the time comes I’m leaning towards South Dakota right now.

Its no coincidence that it happened right after the rally demanding that Foxx step down. The beaches are going to be all kinds of interesting this summer, Ill bet.

CPD can't maintain order, the city is lost already. The urban yute's know the fix is in for them and there's no consequences to anything they do. Just wait until the first weekend above 70 degrees (we aren't there yet) that's when all hell is gonna break loose.
When you have five black women who hate the Chicago Police occupying five of the most important positions in Chicago and Crook County all I have are two words: WHITE FLIGHT.
Say bye-bye to tourism, Lori Lightfoot. That's the only thing that's kept the city even partially afloat during Rahm's reign of terror - once people don't feel safe downtown anymore it's GAME OVER.
