McDumbass Said What Now?

We certainly hope all the McCarthy ball-lickers are appropriately chastised after their hero's statements yesterday. He didn't just throw us all under the bus - it was actually a bulldozer, and he went backwards and forward a few times:

• Former Chicago police superintendent and mayoral candidate Garry McCarthy compared the city’s police union with segregation-era policing in Alabama during a South Side mayoral forum celebrating the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., drawing accusations of over-the-top pandering from some of his opponents.
  
  During the event Sunday at Chicago State University in Roseland, McCarthy was asked to react to a Cook County judge’s sentencing of former Officer Jason Van Dyke to a little under seven years in prison for the murder of Laquan McDonald and to offer what changes to improve policing he would make in an upcoming new contract with the Fraternal Order of Police. McCarthy did not offer specific changes to the contract, but he did compare the union with an era of policing in the Jim Crow South that frequently saw officers unjustly beat and jail African-Americans.
  
  “The FOP has to come into the 21st century. They can’t be operating like it’s 1950 in Birmingham, Ala.,” McCarthy told the audience of about 100 people, nearly all of whom were black. “They have to understand that the world has changed. They have to recognize it and move forward.”

What in the name of all that is holy is this asshole talking about? This is pandering to beat all pandering in the history of pandering. It harkens back to dumbass's anti-NRA rant at pfather pflakey's church when he talked about walking around in crime scenes and getting expended brass stuck in his boots, completely destroying any evidentiary value of said cases. We don't recall CPD ever using fire hoses and canines.We certainly don't recall the FOP countenancing any such behavior either.

Paul Vallas finally got fed up with it:

• Those remarks and McCarthy’s Birmingham comment drew a rebuke on stage from former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas, who alluded to the fact that the U.S. Justice Department found the police under McCarthy’s direction in both Chicago and Newark mistreated African-American residents, resulting in two federal consent decrees to force policing reforms.
  
  “After two consent decrees, you don’t get to lecture us on how you’re going to become Abraham Lincoln,” Vallas said, responding to McCarthy.
  
  Afterward, Vallas said he could no longer bite his tongue after repeatedly hearing McCarthy’s comments about race at various forums.
  
  “I rarely, if ever, respond to what someone has said at these forums, but I just had to respond to that. There have been two consent decrees in two cities,” he said. “He’s pandering. That’s why he goes to these events and says we don’t need more cops, we don’t need a police academy. He’s pandering, that’s what he’s doing.”

Of course, Vallas did a bit of pandering the other day. So did Lightfoot, Mendoza, Prickwrinkle, and others. Everyone is pandering, but none as blatantly as McACLU agreement.

You thought we forgot Garry? He wants you unprotected contractually, subject to the whims of the mob, beneath even the most basic protections of the Constitution and national norms like Garrity. Fuck McCarthy.
