Mayor McRollOver?
Really? The point-man for Rahm's gutting of the Chicago Police Department is being encouraged to run against his old boss?
- Former Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said in a radio interview Wednesday that people have encouraged him to run for mayor, but he also said he's "not very good at" politics and did not say whether he would consider a bid.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel fired McCarthy in December 2015 amid the fallout of the Laquan McDonald police shooting controversy. Since then, McCarthy has done public safety and security consulting in the private sector and has appeared on occasional TV and radio interviews in which he mostly has criticized the city's handling of crime and the Department of Justice's civil rights investigation into the Chicago Police Department.
Whoever is "encouraging" this run must have forgotten McCompStat's checkered past regarding firearm usage against streetlights. Or his tendency to throw his weight around if his daughters were getting ticketed by other coppers. Or his documented liberal use of "the n-word" when confronting minorities in New York. Or various drunken escapades that will find the light of day should he actually file papers to run.
But most of all, someone forgot this:
But most of all, someone forgot this:
That's McCarthy's signature on the agreement that led directly to nearly 4,400 people shot and almost 800 dead in Chicago during 2016 by ceding control of the streets to the gangs and ACLU lawyers. Let's see him run on that record.

Suddenly, Mayor Chance The Rapper doesn't sound so bad.
RUN Garry!!
You have the black vote!!
~ Huh, maybe not
Thank you SCC for reporting the truth that others wanna forget. That signature he had on paper with ACLU says its all. I might agree with some of this shit he says after he got fired but the bottom line is he made an agreement with the devil on paper with contact cards and that can not be ignored, thank you SCC. Truth can never be ignored No matter what the angle is Kudos to your reminder of this contract he had with aclu
Lol... Mayor McCheese if anyone remembers him.... If Rham is outed--- by say--- Russian hacking. I bet he will still have a office in city hall or the same building, maybe the county side. Just switching offices, prolly gonna have the same desk and chair
"Let's see him run on that record."
He's got my vote.
I'll check and see if my accumulated body of satisfied clients will vote for him too.
Chalkie
He's delusional. Put forth those people "encouraging" him to run for mayor.
"tendency to throw his weight around"
YUK, YUK, YUK

Lack of self-control in NYC? (Really?)
As much as I detest what McCarthy did, one cannot ignore that Rahm was pulling the strings. In addition McCarthy will not be able to walk away from the McDonald video; since he saw it 24 hrs. after it took place and felt, as did Rahm that everything was O.K.; until the video went viral! So I hope McCarthy runs, because it will take White votes away from Rahm. I hope Chance the Rapper runs, because it will take votes away from Rahm, and then I hope a credible candidate appears who can either beat Rahm in the Primary, or beat Rahm in the Runoff. Because make no mistake about it, in a crowded Primary, Rahm could be knocked out of the box Early in that Primary. The City is divided along racial lines over the McDonald video and, there are not a lot of Blacks pleased with Rahm. If an Absolute Nothing like Chuey, could put the guy endorsed by Obama into a runoff, even before the McDonald tape was seen; well then Rahm is due for a defeat. Also note, the backing of Democrats at the National Level is gone for Rahm. During the Presidential election Hillary was running around the country with the mother of Michael Brown of Ferguson fame. Yet she would not be seen or photographed anywhere near Rahm, even when she came to Chicago! Add to that, the millions from out of town donors is dried or drying up. The Racial Beating of the White kid on the Westside, the McDonald video,the consistently high homicide rates, it will all take a toll on Rahm's national support. When Rahm first ran, Donald Trump himself gave $50,000 to Rahm; it won't happen this time. Especially, if Obama's snooping on Trump turns into a Watergate. The only question left is: Who will be the next Mayor, because we already know who Will Not. Shitcago Values, be very careful out there. Baby "G"
Isn't he currently employed by an outfit lackey? Aren't his dalliances with subordinates and other easily pliable ladies legendary?
Oh, I forgot. That would only make a difference if he ran as a Republican.
Rahmmy may be a contestant on next seasons dancing with the stars.
He was a bloated, egotistical drunken idiot. He loves himself more than anyone else. He decimated CPD and has played a huge role in what's currently going on. He should just shut up and go away.
Same bullshit as last election. Too many people running, split the votes up and force a runoff between rahm and; fill in name here...
Jody Weiss would have a much better chance!
At least he already knows how to get free tickets and food comps at sporting events.
You need a like button for some of these answers
Garry, you are the biggest Blowhard to ever hit this town. If I was you I would be worrying about the Jackson's divorce case. If that plays out in Chicago you might not like that exposure. As for you being a super crime fighter, you got lucky. What goes up comes down, just like homicide rates. But when you hide multiple homicides and reclassify them you will have a downward trend. I hope your new family does not read this blog. It might just expose you to the asshole you really are. Remember all the BS you pulled late nights in the clubs and on a certain yacht?
Rahm, McCarthy or chance the rapper? Holy crap this city is fucked beyond belief!

For all of the criticism that McCarthy will get if he runs for mayor he might as well shot Laquan himself. He will not get the black or liberal votes.
Don't know how good of a Mayor he'd be but I'd certainly take him over Rahm.
At this point anybody but Rahm
You can also blame that liberal piece of crap state Sen. Raul and State rep Zalewski. Both of them pushed hard for that agreement. Biggest anti police politicians out there. Disgusting.
Garry would make a great mayor. He is ex NYPD and has a great deal of police experience.
It's going to be preckwinkle. She's going to have an entire grasp on this city now with her puppet Kimesha as ASA. Dart is soft as puppy shit. We have no options. Chuy? Get real. Vote 9.5 back in? Get lost. âś…McCarthy.
Don't claim one of our own as Superintendent would not have signed the same document.
Mayor B.A Baracus sounds a lot better.
Mayor McCheese. LMFAO
Vote MR.T For Mayor of Chicago.
fuck it...at this rate im voting for stare down boy aka lamon/lemon record or whatever the hell his name is.
nicely done
Go away Garry, very few people in CPD has anything good to say about you. Garry, you are one of the main reasons CPD is now in the shape it is in. Do you think that because you are now taking shots at Tiny Dancer that you will win the support of the rank and file? WRONG!!!! You didn't have our backs when you were Supt, now we don't have your back. Beat it!
Tommy Fart should run. As incompetently as he runs the Sheriff's office he would turn Chicago into Detroit in a few years. I can watch the entire shit show collecting a retirement check in Florida.
Maybe (NYPD) Bo Dietl running against De Blowzo in NYC on Nov 7, 2017 gave him the idea.
I'd give Gmac a chance before I'd vote for Rotten Rahm, Sir Chancelot, Chewy Jesus or PuckeredPicklepussWrinkles.
Crowded lying Democrat field and maybe he joins the Republican ticket. Rahm will not gather 50% in the primary.
GMac is at least a police officer.
I don't give a crap about any street lights, bimbos booze and family favors, (in fact they should bring back rotating watches to revive the Watch Party camaraderie.)
I don't think GMac would be a pandering soft shell either when it comes to the criminal element.
The one thing that irks everyone about GMac is that he caved in to Lyin' Weasel Rahm.
We know the CPD is micro managed by the dickless mayor, so GMac signs off on the Pandering Rahm political ISR Agreement with the biased ACLU. This was Chickenshit Rahm's ACLU invitation to bend the street stop rules for a certain group of folks who might be a bit disenchanted with his MackDonald video holdout. Afterall was said, done and agreed, the retired crank hack judge Keyes admitted he found nothing wrong with most of the street stops...other than certain folks (in high crime areas) were stopped most.
There were NO GROUNDS FOR AN ACLU SUIT in the first place, yet Rotten Rahm agrees to change the rules.
Either GMac refuses or gets fired, which as we know, both happened anyway.
He Should have went down fighting Crying Crackpot Rahm.
There is nothing wrong with letting Rahm fail with all the free-range criminal activity he allows.
There is nothing wrong with staying fetal.
Blame Rahm - not GMac.
Democrats created the mess, don't fall for the crap.
DON'T STOP ANYONE.
Leave Rahm's Legacy as Mayor Murder King of Chicago and his last term.
Stay Fetal.
The times are crazy enough to have this guy actually run. This is Ludacris! Is there no decent man or woman left in this city to run? Time to move if this is our short list...
just sayn
Just asking, SCC, What do our readers think if he would run for Sheriff? Since we have spent many a column on Dart the Fart's ineptitude, how about seeing a replacement that could do a better job? The main part of the job is running the jail, which Garry knows a thing or two since NYC runs its own DOC. Until a more qualified person steps up, maybe Garry has a chance.
Well at we have Chance the Rapper on Deck. The Fall of the Roman Empire at a Rocket pace!
Looks like Eddie will be keeping the witness stand warm:
http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/crime/246919896-story
And all the rest that know what good shoots are they approved them, even Jason's report was approved by the multiple exempt ranks, retired or not they will testify facts are facts Cpd right again, come on in bosses join the circus! Oh and fuck you rahm you criminal holding pos thug McDonald video you caused this your directly responsible. Now rahm you goof sine President Trump told more truth about the pathetic Chicago public schools your mad again and announced "no diploma unless you commit to job or college" hmm kind of like dictatorship which your the king of! How about using taxpayers money for property tax rebates and using it to hie law firms to protect illegal felons? Violations of federal laws, police violations of laws are arrested and you think you will get away with it? AG Jeff Sessions is coming get in your bunker (basement with the dress) hide but you will be found that would be "change we will believe in" God bless the police!
Pretwinkle wants to be mayor
Let's see Gary got rid of the watch commander, closed two Detective Areas brought us compstat and ended with the ACLU agreement. Good riddens. And if any of your NY friends are still hanging around bring them with you!
As much as I enjoy anyone exposing Bathhouse Rahm as the lying and corrupt bastard that he is, McCarthy has enough skeletons in his own life as to make him totally unelectable.
He cannot be the candidate. Axelrod would destroy him.
He was just live on wgn bashing the hell out of Rahm and said he was better than him. He's going to run for sure. He was also bashing the police for eric Gardner and JVD cases. This guy sucks
kwame raul and ACLU have the blood of thousands on their hands!

Why, that lying prick would hire rahm back as supt and we would be back to doing the same stupid stuff
The "anyone but Rahm" faction should be careful what they wish for, because it's likely to be a primary challenge between Rahm and a Preckwinkle minion with some token Republican like Garry thrown in to maintain the illusion of choice.
Typical know it all jagoff New Yorker- always was, is now, always will be
Gerry holds the secrets to what Rahm knew about the Laquan shooting & when he knew it.
Spill those beans and let's see Rahmn squirm his way out of his lies.
In a degraded public safety environment, Chicago will vote against crime and for a strongman candidate like McCarthy.
McOutOfHisMind needs to STFU and concentrate
on being a better husband and father than he was
the first go around...
The guy got a new lease on life and he's
too much of a steak-head to enjoy it.
A louse of a Police Executive who has
yet to bear any pain and punishment
for colluding with Rahm to run CPD
on the cheap so Rahm could peel away
billions of budgeted dollars from training
and equipping Policemen so he can piss
the money away on Sanctuary City bullshit
and building monuments to political and
fiscal Fuckery like the new Malcolm X
and DePaul arena...
Not to beat a dead horse but again we
hold up the JVD/LMcD incident as something
that happens when a mayor and superintendent
are criminally and fiscally negligent in their decision
to drastically curtail hands-on Use of Force training
in a misdirected attempt to "achieve efficiencies."
We hope McCarthy will be made to answer for
his misdeeds and is compelled to sit in the witness
chair under adversarial interrogation by the USAG
Office as part of Rahm Emanuel's criminal prosecution.
rudy guiliani for mayor a great city n great police department deserve a great mayor
as a white male cpd no clout and a vet im voting for chance the rapper I have a better chance of getting promoted than this jerk

If I am not mistaken, Kwame is the only black Illinois legislator who is proposing stiffer sentences for repeated gun violators. The rest of the apologetic slugs in the black caucus have refused to address the problem unless economic reforms are also addressed. That usually means a lot more cash for " violence prevention and job programs" in the black community. Well, under normal circumstances that might work, but this is Illinois. Remeber the 50 million Gov Quinn handed over to the black political class? Most of it disappeared or was paid to the political class for pay and benefits with no visible positive result whatsoever. So the killing continues and will only increase to the point the slaughter of the 70's, 80's and early 90's will look pretty good.
This is Chicago........we don't vote for NY natives for Chicago mayor. We have enough home grown dunces of our own......thank you very much.

I"ll wait to see who's in the ring before selecting my clown. Rahm may end up having a major "whitelash" if that project goes up in Jefferson Park.
Garry has a much better chance of winning an election for Cook County Sheriff...and he should run as a Republican!
