What a knee-jerk reaction!
Way bigger fish than Ferguson ever was.

So he's a politician who will back down when enough pressure is applied. So what?
If the people of Chicago are stupid enough to replace him next election with an bumbling fool like "Chuy" Garcia, or pandering vote whore like black caucus leader Roderick Sawyer who will trod all over the bullet riddled corpse of Laquan McDonald for a little upward mobility, it will be the people's loss.
Because it's an idiot who thinks either one of these guys, or any other minority leader in Chicago who is prominent enough to be considered for the job, will make a single austerity move that impacts a Latino or black Chicago neighborhood, in any way.
If Chicago is to avoid bankruptcy austerity steps are necessary. The only person with the balls to do it that anybody in this town has seen in 25 years, is Rahm Emanuel. He's taken incredible heat from people of every melanin concentration in this city for his cost cutting so far. And there's plenty more of that required if if the city is to escape financial ruin left behind by Richie Daley. "We have a population in this city that is a conscious target of cutbacks..." whines Roderick Sawyer, when cutbacks have affected every resident of the city, whether they voted for Roderick Sawyer, anybody else, or bother to vote at all. And Sawyer is the most incredible hypocrite at all when he's accusing white politicians in this city of playing "political games" after watching his bullshit opportunism.
But most remarkably, it's the fair weather hypocrisy of black Americans, and liberal creatures of all shades like many who inhabit this forum and other lib forums like it, who were Emanuel loyalistas when he was Obama's right hand man. And now that he's a convenient target...oh how the opinions of Rahm Emanuel have changed...because a bad cop gunned down a hopped up black kid with a knife in his hand. Very convenient for liberal hypocrites, indeed.
Listen to these two.
We Were Misled!
Babbling platitudes that rival in stupidity the fetid chunks being spewed by GOP leaders after the San Bernardino killings. "We were misled!", bleats Howard Brookins, referring to himself and the rest of the black caucus getting caught with their pants down when they supported the $5 million settlement with the McDonald family. "This has to stop...we as leaders in this city have to demand better of our elected officials who are charged with protecting us all equally." Well...bad new for you Howard, as that comment applies to you as well.
Maybe this will end up with Emanuel being replaced by a prattling Howard Brookins.
And that will be the city of Chicago's loss.
