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.

I did not know that, super duper creepy. Creepier still if the commie bastard was more conservative than Barry.
If Civil Rights leaders were trying to dispel the notion that many weren’t Communist, that certainly didn’t help.
No different than Obama's middle name being Hussein.....
And no one in the MSM makes note of it..............
Doesn’t matter to the voters. It may buy him time and another chance down the line but the voters will have the final say.
Different but the same in some ways to Weiner. Overbearing and egotistical he will lose his position once the emails hes trying so hard to keep covered come out. At some point he will try to make a comeback and find out his time is the sun is gone to never return.
so was the kid shot 16 times?...16 bullets?
See post 60, apparently Marion Barry chose this middle name for himself as an adult, to honor some Soviet commie, making it indeed different than Obama’s middle name (from birth) being Hussien.
From my understanding cops are issued a certain amount of ammo before going out on patrol. When they come back it’s inventoried. My question is did he have sixteen bullets missing? Then too, all that’s heard on the video is shots fired, no background noise, no yelling, nothing.
Hussein would be disappointed.
