Two weeks after a video was released of a Chicago policeman shooting a black teenager 16 times, the mayor of Chicago on Wednesday apologized for it and took some measure of responsibility.
"I'm sorry" for the shooting of Laquan McDonald, which "happened on my watch," Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) told the full Chicago City Council in a rare speech.
For the next 40 minutes, Emanuel delivered a "genuine" and "heartfelt" speech about police brutality and city violence that seemed "real," said critics and supporters alike who heard it, according to the Chicago Tribune.
But the reaction on the street was a very different story. Emanuel cried "crocodile tears," one protester said. The only people who believe it will be his "lap-dog city council," another said, according to the Tribune. They carried signs calling on Emanuel and his leadership team to resign.

The criminal bum should be in a deep, deep cell.
Good gravy, he’s not going anywhere. When’s the last time a Democrat resigned for doing something wrong?
I would like to see them tar and feather him
he hung out with black nationalists and Muslims thinking they were on the same team. A mistake many libs will make.
Agree to that, one or both!
Don’t know about Zeke but Rham is a pigfuc#$er from way back when. Too see him squirm because of the black reaction to shooting is pure heaven. He deserves far worse as far as I am concerned. The brothers are evil bastards.
Just like Robespierre when he got his turn at the guillotine.
MAKE
ME
LAUGH
Har!
Hussein Baraka supports his fellow traveler.
Otherwise he would be gone.
Well, gee Rahm.. sorry about your luck. /s
Chicago don’t cry. You have the government you wanted and elected.
Never let a good crisis go to waste, Rahm...Resign........
Rahmster will just waltz in his little tutu right back to DC and help Obama do to America what he’s done to Chicago.
RE “...He will most likely be an ecofascist that will send people to live off the land. ...”
Good luck with that.
He will most likely end up like Mussolini and his girlfriend - hanging upside down from a lightpole with a WHOLE BUNCH of 5.56mm and 7.63mm holes to let the smoke out...
This is America. We don’t - and won’t - play that sh*t here.
The ecofascist, that is... ending up like Mussolini.
Just for clarification’ sake.
Marion Barry is dead, and I don’t think he could have won a Mayoral election in any city that wasn’t supermajority Black (as DC was in his day, apparently it’s down to 50% Black now, a major shift, I had no idea), certainly not Chicago, the people with money and power would have never backed him.
I also don’t think Rahm is in much trouble, he’s freshly reelected. If BLM thinks they can browbeat him into resigning like he’s Trent Lott, they have another thing coming. Rahm is seasoned political mobster.
Marion Barry’s middle name was “Shepilov”? Was he from the Soviet Union? Black Russian? ;p
Couldn’t happen to a more hateful little man.
Marion Barry was merely born Marion Barry, Jr. He added Shepilov to his name in the late ‘50s in honor of the Soviet politician, Dmitri Shepilov.
It’s funny to note that Shepilov was strongly concerned about moral/social degradation of the youth in the Soviet Union that he denounced both jazz and rock and roll music.
