Illinois Democrat proposes bill to recall Chicago Mayor Emanuel





La Shawn Ford, a Democrat, introduced a bill Wednesday that would provide a mechanism to recall the mayor. State Rep. Mary Flowers, also a Democrat, signed on as a co-sponsor Wednesday afternoon.



The legislation would amend a 1941 law to create “a procedure for an election to recall the Mayor of Chicago,” and the bill proposes that change would be “effective immediately,” if passed by the legislature. Legal experts say there is no current mechanism under state law to recall a mayor. A 2010 referendum does allow Illinois voters to recall a governor – that process includes voters and a request from multiple members of the legislature.

Why would anyone from any party want to keep someone if it is proven that he did what he was accused of?

Demonstrators protest police shooting in Chicago (17 images)
December 9, 2015 - Features photos from protests outside of City Hall after Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel addressed the City Council about the recent troubles in the Chicago Police Department in Chicago.

Lamon Reccord is taken into custody by Chicago police officers during protests outside of City Hall after Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel addressed the City Council about the recent troubles in the Chicago Police Department in Chicago on December 9, 2015.

A series of videos recently released, showing police misconduct, including videos of officer Jason Van Dyke's shooting of 17-year-old Laquan MacDonald, another police shooting of a fleeing suspect and mistreatment of an incarcerated inmate, have sparked protests throughout the city and calls for reform.

A federal judge is set to rule Wednesday on the release of another video showing the shooting of Cedrick Chatman, who was unarmed and shot to death while fleeing police.

Chicago mayor apologizes for teen's death, vows reforms
9 Dec.`15 — Mayor Rahm Emanuel, known for keeping vise-like control over Chicago and his own political image, finds himself in the weakest position of his long public career as he struggles to respond to a police scandal, claims of cover-ups at City Hall and calls for his resignation.

But the former White House chief of staff has said repeatedly that he will not step down. The nation's third-largest city has no process for a mayor to be recalled, though a state lawmaker from Chicago introduced a proposal Wednesday to allow for it. And most of the cries for Emanuel to resign have come from grassroots activists and residents, not from the city's political powerbrokers. The next election — should he seek another term — isn't until 2019.

On Wednesday, the mayor used a special meeting of the Chicago City Council to try to calm the firestorm, apologizing for the fatal shooting of a black teen by a white officer and promising "complete and total" reform. "I take responsibility for what happened because it happened on my watch. And if we're going to fix it, I want you to understand it's my responsibility with you," Emanuel said during a sometimes-emotional speech that lasted nearly 45 minutes. "But if we're also going to begin the healing process, the first step in that journey is my step. "And I'm sorry."

The remarks were Emanuel's lengthiest and seemingly most heartfelt since the public got its first look last month at the squad car video that showed 17-year-old Laquan McDonald veering away from officer Jason Van Dyke before Van Dyke began shooting, hitting McDonald 16 times. Van Dyke is charged with first-degree murder. Critics have repeatedly accused Emanuel of keeping the footage under wraps until after he won a tougher-than-expected spring election for a second term. The mayor has denied the claim and acknowledged Wednesday that he should have pressed for prosecutors to wrap up their investigation sooner so the video could be made public.

But his contrition did little to ease the anger in the streets. Hours after the speech, protesters overflowed an intersection in front of City Hall, then marched through the financial district and blocked a major intersection for a short time as police directed traffic around them. Officers guarded the doors to the Chicago Board of Trade as demonstrators approached. Outside City Hall, retired schoolteacher Audrey Davis carried a sign reading, "Mayor Emanuel is morally corrupt!" Calling the speech "politically expedient," Davis said, "I don't want to hear anything from him except, 'I tender my resignation.'" Davis, who is black, said she fears for her 25-year-old grandson when he comes home from college.

Every time this alleged aggressive cop shit happens the 'victim' is a criminal.
As soon as an innocent is victimized by the cops let me know. Then I'll give a shit about the victim.

Bottom line is this, nobody gives a fuck about black voters...period!! This is a legacy we've created and now we need to deal with the aftermath of being complacent and allowing others to do our governing and voting.

Memorial Day weekend a violent one in Chicago...

At Least 63 People Shot in Chicago Over Holiday Weekend
May 31, 2016 | Between Friday afternoon and Monday evening, at least 63 people were shot in Chicago, five of them killed, including a 15-year-old girl, the city's NBC-5 television station reported.

Over the same period last year, Chicago recorded 48 shootings, 14 of them fatal; and there were 26 shootings (7 murders) over Memorial Day weekend 2014. NBC-5 quoted a police official as saying that about 1,500 people are driving the violence, much of it gang-related.

In an attempt to quell the anticipated summertime violence, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel urged Chicago residents, faith and community groups, and businesses to organize citywide anti-violence activities on Friday, May 27, 2016 from 7 to 9 pm. "Every block, every street, every neighborhood should be involved!" said the mayor's message.

He urged people to organize neighborhood barbeques, walks, clean-ups, prayer groups, and sports activities to show "presence and solidarity" in creating a "safer and more peaceful city." In the first five months of 2016, at least 1,400 people have been shot in Chicago, according to the The Chicago Tribune tally.

So they will just elect another equally worthless Democratic Mayor. 80 years of Democratic party rule ain't likely to change anytime in the foreseeable future.

I am sure that recalling the mayor will solve all the random shootings. Did we ever get a dally for the Memorial Day weekend?
