Rauner: No Chicago schools help unless Emanuel pushes agenda

Today reporters asked Rauner if he has confidence in Mayor Emanuel given major financial issues at Chicago Public Schools and a federal investigation into police operations.

The judge also accused the law department, which defends city employees accused of wrongdoing, of shoddy record-keeping, saying it contributed to the problem in the Pinex case.

“It shows the city hasn’t just fought to protect officers, it also fights tooth and nail to protect its lawyers”, he said.

Sharon Fairley is acting head of the Independent Police Review Authority.

Chang ordered a new trial in reversing a federal jury’s decision in favor of Officers Raoul Mosqueda and Gildardo Sierra.

With that evidence, plus the fact that the police narrative of the shooting has come under question, has Greenberg feeling good about the new case, he said. The man, Quintonio LeGrier, was also killed.

Ford proposed the bill after Chicago released squad-car video of a white officer shooting a black teen 16 times, sparking heavy criticism of Emanuel.

According to the Sun-Times, city attorney Jordan Marsh failed to turn over a police radio transmission that proved officers who shot Pinex did not actually hear what they said they did over the radio, which the officers pointed to as their reason for pulling Pinex over in the first place.

Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel are longtime friends and business partners, so one might expect Rauner to offer some words of encouragement as his buddy deals with the fallout from the fatal police shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald.

Fairley took the job in early December and IPRA says in a statement that since then she’s been determining areas where she can take immediate action.

IPRA says changes will include hiring new senior leaders, strengthening the agency’s legal team to increase oversight of the investigative process and establishing a community outreach manager.
