Oversight Lawsuit
If Hillary had won, you can bet Rahm would have welcomed Federal/DOJ oversight of the Police Department. All of those Federal grants - so much money to steal and steer to connected democratic donors.
But Trump won and Sessions has shown a decided dis-inclination toward interfering in local affairs. Rahm keeps claiming Chicago is broke, so he isn't about to spend a dime he doesn't have to and is suing to keep from spending those imaginary dimes:

- City attorneys have fired back against a class-action lawsuit seeking a federal court consent decree over Chicago Police Department reform, claiming federal oversight is unnecessary because the city has made its own “substantial and ongoing reforms.”
The 32-page motion to dismiss filed on Monday would seem to indicate that Mayor Rahm Emanuel has no intentions of bowing to pressure to accept federal court oversight.
“[P]laintiffs’ injunctive relief claims are moot because the policies and practices that they seek to enjoin are no longer in place in light of CPD’s extensive, ongoing reform efforts,” the motion says.
Black Lives Matter Chicago and six additional community groups filed suit in June along with six individuals, on behalf of people who “have been, or in the future will be, subjected to use of force by the CPD.” The NAACP has also joined as a plaintiff in the suit.
The NAACP has no standing as far as we can tell, but they do have deep pockets.
A humble suggestion - have the plaintiffs offer to pay the full cost of Federal oversight. If the reforms are so inadequate and the stakes so high, they should be glad to pick up the costs. It shouldn't be more than a few hundred million dollars at most. Certainly no more than a billion.

If only Rahm fought the bullshit lawsuits the way he's fighting our own government. POS!
I have said it before, this is all about the money.
Federal oversight - taxpayer funded to pay whatever federal judge and court oversees this as part of his regular duties = yearly judge's salary.
Independenant oversight - one of rahm's consultants gets a hefty taxpayer funded contract to "oversee" department operations at $299 an hour = 2.5 million in theft per year
But the media will never look into this story
BLM is fighting the lawsuit against them for the murder of P.O.'s in Texas by claiming they are not actually an organization. Just a bunch of individuals that use a common name. Yet here they are suing as an organization.
I do not know what full federal oversight of a police department entails. But, with the mayor fighting it so hard I am guessing that he would lose control of the department, lost control of promotions and transfers, contracts, hiring etc. In otherwords, he would lose control over the patronage dump that the democrats have turned the police department into.There used to be people holding down line item budget, high paying jobs in the police department but never actually working in the department. I wonder if that still goes on? Most of them were assigned to the First Deputies office with a title and a car, but worked in city hall with no connection to the police at all.
soooo confused... NOW Ram and BLM don't want oversight??
"...Or will be subjected..."t
Lawsuits over what might happen?
Bizarro World.
Wait a minute...when BLM was sued by police officers their defense was/is "BLM is an ideology, a movement and NOT an organization...and since you cannot sue a movement the matter should be dismissed. Yet, here they are acting as a plaintiff in a federal lawsuit. Seems to me the officers should point right here and argue waiver of this defense. Just sayin
If only people would understand what the oversight entails. There are two types of oversight. The first one, is the consent decree with a judge to overwatch the department. He ensures everything is done by the book. The second one is what the department is currently going through. A promise that they will get certain areas deemed "broken" fixed. But dummies want to be dummies.
In another courtroom, in another state, BLM claims that it cannot be sued as it is not an organized legal entity with standing. Nice to see how consistent the leftists are.
If rahm would set the example and obey laws like the federal immigration laws that would remove the criminal illegals quickly,that would show he supports "law and order" but without a doubt he enjoys the carnage,murder and bloodshed!
From the past according to Sessions starts 01sept17:
Trump threat could cost Chicago $13.4M in DOJ grants, city says
http://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago-politics/trump-threat-could-cost-chicago-13-4m-in-doj-grants-city-says/
Excerpt:The annual funding at stake for Chicago comes in the form of three federal grants: $3.05 million in federal asset forfeiture funds; $3.2 million in Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants; and $3.13 million under the “Cops Hiring Program.”
The money is used for a host of law enforcement activities ranging from hiring additional police officers to buying police vehicles and other equipment, said Molly Poppe, a spokeswoman for the city’s Office of Budget and Management.
Chicago stands to lose an additional $3.5 million to $4 million in “existing DOJ grants that have yet to be fully expended,” Poppe said.
So there it is rahm doesn't care about policing like barry like rahm the crimeware killing sprees continue in this democratic city-state-county!
Part of the Sore Losers Democratic Playbook (besides distortion, distraction and obstruction) is to file as many lawsuits as possible to overload the courts. No matter how baseless and frivolous, their intention is to make news and disrupt.
Rahm's intention is to put on a good bamboozle show.
The blm's intention is to get free money.
Oh, and deep pockets at NAACP?
Yes, for filling not doling out.
If Hillary won...HA!
The corrupt IRS made many Dem worthy clause groups immune to audit.
The donors are secret and the money paid to the executives is unaccountable.
How did the Clinton Global Initiative and Foundation fold up and fade so quickly?
Yeah, if Hillary only won.
This is a no brained. Rahdoesnt want anybody whether it be the DOJ or federal government,especially with Trump being president, to dictate what he has to do. Who wants someone else telling you what to do and if you are forced to implement changes, you will have to also pay for them
(OT) beating a teacher in a classroom what type of violent people would do this?:

Hmm not the Amish! More and more violence exhibited by the "community" God bless the police!
President The Donald is taking the fight to the Rahmster and winning.
Oversight ok,arrests are down how much? Got my new DVD player, coffee cup, lunch box! Lights and sirens 10-1 otherwise will do my job and say "here's your report have a great day!" If your not in self preservation mode you should go see a psychiatrist asap. Want to keep your home,family,freedom,job? Stay fetal this is what they want, most famous words I heard in federal court "state your assets and liabilities" that is a reality jolt. You will hear that more and more with the media who slants reporting,and the 45% increase in funds rahm gave to copa to hunt and reopen more cases on hard working coppers, and you know many of the new hunters hired will be looking to bury coppers to make a name for themselves!
My guess is laws are for everyone except Rahm.
The escort speeding though the city. http://abc7chicago.com/archive/9528356/
Appearantly, this joker feels he is above the law.
One might hope Trump administration comes down hard.
Seems he can dish it out, but not take it!
Democrats have no trouble being two-faced liars. If it fits their communist agenda, they're all for it. If it's good for tax paying, hard working, law abiding American citizens, they're against it. Criminals and illegal aliens make up most of their constituency.
(And from the news about Ms. Debbie Whatshername Shittyman, their party!)
