Rush to a Consent Decree
The clock is winding down, and Obama's Justice Department want to rush things forward:
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s City Hall is bracing for the Justice Department to release – before President Barack Obama leaves office Jan. 20 — findings from its Chicago Police Department probe triggered by the police shooting of Laquan McDonald.
No announcement is expected before Obama delivers his farewell address in McCormick Place on Tuesday night, a speech looking at his accomplishments, coming as homicides are soaring in the president’s adopted hometown. The report is expected to be released later next week.
It is highly unlikely the probe will conclude with a signed-and-completed consent decree outlining mandated changes in police practices, sources told the Sun-Times. What is on the table, given the time constraints, is a deal for the city and Justice Department to sign an “agreement in principle.” Such a pact, to be made with community input, would create a federal court-enforceable road forward addressing investigatory findings from the probe, launched in December 2015.
In other words, the DOJ wants Rahm to sign the agreement to find out what's in the agreement. Then they can claim some sort of "contract" with Rahm, and after Jeff Sessions decides to stop the wholesale dismantling of police departments across the nation, the ACLU or other such groups will sue Rahm to enforce said "contract."
If they win, Rahm will have to come up with hundreds of millions of dollars that he doesn't have and can't raise without committing political suicide. So will Rahm attempt to delay appearing to accept the "agreement in principle"? He doesn't have as much pull in DC as he might have had with Clinton. He isn't going to want to raise taxes again.
This reeks of desperation on the part of the DOJ, and when the government rushes, nothing good ever results.

There is no reason to sign any contract or decree... except corrupt politics.
So yeah, totally going to happen.
We are from the government and we are here to fuck you over.
I cant wait for Sessions era to begin!!!! This DOJ bullshit is going to come to a screeching halt. The current set of assholes at the DOJ are shitting their pants over what is about to happen. The place is full of libtards.
Rahm, most likely, has zero political capital in the White House or anywhere else in Washington. I don't think that President Trump will forget the treatment he received from this city, even prior to running for President. Rahm and the alderman forced him to change the size of his building sign, blasted him for this, named a street after him then took it back, and with the help of paid democratic flunkies and some communists at UIC, caused mayhem at the Trump rally. And, to top it off, Rahm puts money aside to defend illegal immigrants and possibly criminals from deportation, saying Chicago will remain a sanctuary city. Lets see how long that last once the federal cash flow is cut off. Nope. Rahm has no political capital at all.
So aggravating.....the aclu, media, and the president are directly to blame for the volcanic rise in violence. I just hope the lava cools a little with a Fresh administration.
Other than for political reasons there's absolutely no reason for DOJ to rush nor for Rahm to enter into a blind promissory agreement.
This whole thing is a disgusting political cesspool.
O'Bama and his lapdog DOJ feel that Trump will not continue their anti police agenda so they're trying to do as much damage as they can in the very short time they have left.
Unfortunately asshole Rahm hates the police also so he may agree to enter into some sort of blind agreement.
What did Granny give away??
Granny got rid of Buslik and now that she is gone Rahm should bring him back as he understands the organization and negotiate logically with DOJ
!. Sessions will never be confirmed. Even though the Republicans hold both houses, there are enough of them who hate Trump and will work with the Dems to de-rail as many of his appointments as possible.
2.The election is not until 2019. Rahm can raise taxes at least once more without major damage.
3. Chicago is an infected boil on the ass of America. Trump has much more pressing items on his aganda than lancing the boil. Don't expect much to change here locally after 1/20.
4. Quit chasing cars.
even if the mayor raises taxes "again" idiots will still vote for him..sad
Since most of the people drafting this nonsense will be looking for work on January twenty first, why sign anything?
I just sent Sessions a copy of "when corruption was king" by Robert Cooley. There are some nasty things about the royal Burkes in there, and hopefully it will interest him in this political shithole.
Needless Bloodshed: Chicago 2016 Edition

Needless Bloodshed: Chicago 2016 Edition
Jordan Candler · Jan. 4, 2017
In Chicago, 2016 began and ended on a bloody note. And 2017 is picking up right where 2016 left off. We warned in February that the largely “gun free” Windy City’s number of homicides was rising at an alarming, perhaps historic, rate. And while (thankfully) no records ended up being broken, the cumulative number of murders for 2016 was bad enough and definitely far worse than recent years. Officially, 762 lives were needlessly lost on the streets of Chicago last year. This represents “the most in two decades in the city and more than New York and Los Angeles combined,” CBS News reports (New York and LA registered 628 homicides). Moreover, “The increase in homicides compared to 2015, when 485 were reported, is the largest spike in 60 years.”
And it only took a few hours for 2017 to ring in additional homicides. As reported by the Chicago Tribune, “An argument between two men at an Uptown bar in the early hours of Jan. 1 ended with the two shooting at one another, leaving both dead. Their deaths ushered in the new year, marking the first and second homicides of 2017 and keeping up 2016’s soaring pace of violence.” As a side note, Chicago is not alone when it comes to worsening crime. Just before Christmas, The Wall Street Journal issued a report documenting a similar trend all over the nation: “Sixteen of the 20 largest police departments reported a year-over-year rise in homicides as of mid-December. … Nationally, the murder rate rose in 2015 for the first time in nearly a decade, though it remains well below where it stood during the 1990s.”
That last part is somewhat comforting. But what isn’t reassuring is the current trend and the risk our leftist politicians take in bringing us perilously closer to a dark age through fomenting racial grievances on urban poverty plantations and waging a war on cops, all while continuing to disarm law-abiding citizens. Barack Obama will be in his hometown of Chicago Jan. 10 to present his farewell address. His speech will surely be replete with self-praise and adoration for the so-called progress his administration has made. It would be more appropriate if he offered a eulogy for the thousands who have been slain under leftist policies.

Police officers are fucked time to find a new job not Chicago or cook country
All i heard while reading this was
STAY FETAL
Let me ask you honestly...does any of this matter when sessions and trump get in? Can all of this shit be reversed or cancelled?
Rush to screw Chicago which is so safe due due Barry devoting resources to save his home town city! But look he was against Trump building a wall as he builds a huge wall on his new taxpayers paid mansion:
http://www.tmz.com/2017/01/06/president-obama-dc-house-brick-wall/
Wonder if Barry will have Mexico pay for his wall?
We had 6? Years of the Obama traffic study cards? The findings we not what "they" wanted. This is just more political agenda driven action. This is a modern day Salem witch hunt. Things will get better after the 20th.
I really hope when the DOJ becomes the REAL DOJ again (after 1/21), they come buzzing into Chicago and take down all the corruption, "deal-makers", scammers, race-baiters, and plain incompetence.
It should be a vast feeding ground for them after all the years of phony promotions (Merit Hacks), bad deals (going back before the Rahm Era), City Council, and piss-poor courts and judges.
Burn ALL of them and in lieu of jail time, scratch ALL their pensions. No need to lock them up, just let them go see what it is like to work for a living.
Now THAT would be doing the city, county and state a solid.
It's simple, don't sign shit. Tell the DOJ you have to run all of this by the City Lawyers and wait tell the Trick-Baby is out of officer. But this Mayor is a con-man so why not con the DOJ like he did to the retirees medical.
When he is in town no CPD personnel should volunteer for that OT pay. For presidential detail. Of course, we will have scabs doing it. Let the Feds protect him. I think LEO should all turn their backs like what was done to Mayor Deblasio. Then again, maybe respect the office, not the man.
Doesn't the news 5 hag carol marin have the scoop, after-all she carries the poop scooper in her hand and puts it to the mouth of all the shit talkers who no so much about Policing
So agree to something without even seeing what it is.
Thats like agreeing to a lawsuit without even seeing the damn video.
WHO pray tell would do something like that.
ONLY in Chicago
Not sure which headline angle Rahm, Mayor of the Murder Capitol of the USA is looking for from the obama DOJ.
Corrupt Racist Police Shooting Unarmed Black Men or Out of Control Lawless Black Community Violence.
Neither conforms to Rahm's Midwest fantasy island Sanctuary hopes and dreams.
He and Special Ed are still looking to make the crime a living-in-the-past White Privilege root problem.
The mayor will always control the Police as well as the media no matter what.
Priority...Stay Fetal for 2017 and let the shit roll up for a Change.
I have this hopeful feeling that President Trump will not forget the screwing over he got from little Rahm before he was elected President and after. Rahm was banking on Hillary and now he sees he is really a nobody in his party. Who wants to touch Rahm with the Chicago chains around his neck created by his "supporters" ? Chicago is his only viable political option anymore. And its going to get a lot hotter in his comfy little office.
The DOJ officials explained they will only "advise" the department on better ways to conduct their investigations, etc. There is no "punishment" to be expected or criticism of the department or any one individual being punished. It seems people/officers are jumping to conclusions about what the DOJ is actually doing when conducting an investigation. And as they are a federal agency, the city if bound by law to make the changes suggested, if not, then the city becomes subject to a federal lawsuit and demand that they comply. Signing by Rahm is not making a "contract" between the city and the DOJ. That is plain nonsense and reeks or paranoia.
Pelosi said we have to pass Obama Care before we find out what is really in it. How do these idiots get elected? Now Rahm is contemplating the same. Incompetent leaders but good Thief's = Any Democrats
These democrats are the dumbest people on this earth.

So if you do not do what the DOJ "advises" you will end up as a defendent in Federal Court. Sounds like a a contract for all practical purposes to me.
The DOJ should investigate the South and West side not the police.♠
Don't assume Sessions is a lock as AG. He's not going to be savior to the crew in blue either, stop with the delusional thinking, just makes you look foolish.
Rahm will sign an agreement with the DOJ before the inauguration. FACT! It will say CPD is full of incompetent racists who intentionally shoot and arrest black people. FACT!
He will hire the DC asshat he has working on everything now to run it as he monitor with a contract for a million dollars so that no mater what Trump does, he will still pay his and Obama's buddy. FACT!
All of this will even further engulf the city with violence and the city will burn.....FACT!
This will be good. Interesting times we are living in indeed. Drain that fucking swamp.
To the unpublished:
Your lib-tarded kool-aid drinking ass really ought to do a little research and see what the media has been feeding you. Session put those fuckers in jail and bankrupted them in Alabama. You're falling for a 30-year-old Ted Kennedy fable. Try to not be a democrat tool your entire life..
Asshat
To 05:54:00 PM. You are a moron.....FACT!
If the speech is about Obama's accomplishments, it should be over in less than 5 minutes. Less than two weeks left of this liberal goof. Can't wait until he's gone.
Hey Rahamie April 2019 remember that date, that's when your political future comes to a screeching halt. Ol Hill can't help you and Bongo can't help you. Your damaged goods. I'm sure your brother will give you a job driving an Uber. ♠
This is going to be apocalyptic! What the report is going to suggest about Holman Square and the scams they found there will change the CPD forever.
