Chicago's Top Cop Fired Out The Cannon!

Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel fires his top cop out the cannon.

Looks like it's curtains for the police commissioner Gerry McCarthy. The Chicago police's top cop was fired out the cannon for inept management.

Chicago has experienced a rise in gun violence, gang violence and possible police corruption within the department.

All the recipes for embattled mayor Rahm Emmanuel to light the cannon and send McCarthy right out of the tent.

The Laquan McDonald shooting proved to be the boiling point for residents fed up with police corruption, the constant gun violence and gang violence plaguing the third largest city in the U.S.

McCarthy was hired by Emanuel to take over the Chicago Police Department shortly after Emanuel's election in early 2011. McCarthy was the City of Chicago's highest paid public employee, earning an annual salary of over $260,000.

The number of crimes and murders in Chicago declined under his tenure (with murders declining from 525 in 2011 to 505 in 2012 to 415 in 2013).

In an investigative article by Chicago Magazine reporters David Bernstein and Noah Isackson, it was asserted that the decline was in part due to the unjustified re-categorization of murders as undetermined and then if it is later determined to be a murder, tallying the total to the prior years' statistics.

McCarthy responded that the article is “patently false” and criticized its reliance on anonymous sources.

A 2012 audit by the Chicago Inspector General determined that the Chicago Police Department had under-counted aggravated assault and aggravated battery victims by 25 percent by not following state guidelines by counting each incident rather than each victim.

McCarthy attributed the error to the administration of the prior police superintendent, Jody Weis.

Anita Alverez is facing some major heat as well. After the release of the video of now disgraced cop Jason Van Dyke putting 16 rounds in the fleeing Laquan, people are saying it's political corruption.

Alverez denies that she held back the video to help Emmanuel's chances at winning the election.

Calls for her removal from the Cook County prosecutor are growing as well.

Even Jesse Jackson is turning his back on the Chicago mayor. He is calling for Emmanuel to resign.

The shooting happened in October 2014. That was about the time Rahm Emmanuel was facing a tough reelection bid. Emmanuel was reelected in April 2015. The video release happened 13 months since the shooting and seven months into his second term.

The federal and state courts ruled that the video must be shown and it was being held back in fear of political backlash. The family of Laquan was paid off earlier this year. The family was awarded $6.4 million in damages.

The Montgomery Bus Incident 60 Years Later!




Rosa Parks got on a local Montgomery Bus after a tired day. She was told to move to the back of the bus for an older white guy. She refused. The bus driver called the law. Rosa was fingerprinted, photographed and booked in the local lockup.

This sparked a movement.

The Montgomery Bus Boycott, a seminal event in the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, was a political and social protest campaign against the policy of racial segregation on the public transit system of Montgomery, Alabama. The campaign lasted from December 1, 1955—when Rosa Parks, an African American woman, was arrested for refusing to surrender her seat to a white person—to December 20, 1956, when a federal ruling, Browder v. Gayle, took effect, and led to a United States Supreme Court decision that declared the Alabama and Montgomery laws requiring segregated buses to be unconstitutional.

Many important figures in the Civil Rights Movement took part in the boycott, including Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ralph Abernathy.

Rosa was known as the mother of the modern civil rights movement.

Her act of civil disobedience became a historical feat. Her impact helped the United States become a little bit better.

Conservatives Concern Trolling "Black On Whatever" Crime!

The racist right tries to deflect, distract, discredit and disengage.

When #BlackLivesMatter denounces police brutality, conservatives are trying to turn the conversation into "Black On Whatever" violence.

That right wing network has declared war on #BlackLivesMatter.

Every agitator that appears on their lineups have openly attacked the group and President Barack Obama for embracing the grassroots movement.

After all, since he's the first Black president, according to the agitators he's a part of their movement.

Well one journalist managed to call out the bullshit deflection.

Raw Story and Mediaite have managed to catch the debate between Chicago Sun Times writer Lynn Sweet and two of that right wing network's agitators.

The syndicated writer Cal Thomas off the bat worrying his ass off about "Black on Black" crime.

Thomas and right wing network anchor Leland Vittert call out the junk food media for not questioning protesters on the names of the victims of recent violence in Chicago.
Chiraq is coming to the movie theaters. Spike Lee's movie talks about gun violence in Chicago.
Sweet decided to call them out on their concern trolling.

“There has been tremendous attention to crime in Chicago,” she said. “I don’t know how any person who is familiar with the situation says that there’s not.”

Sweet then pointed out that national news coverage of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s bid for reelection had focused on crime in Chicago.

“So I don’t even understand the premise of where you’re coming from on this one. Respectfully said,” she said.

Conservatives only concerns for gun control is taking the Second Amendment rights from Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims.

They fail to realize that gun violence is by far the biggest threat to the United States. Terrorism, Ebola, and HIV are deadly threats to the country. But none so than the firearm and the reckless actions by those who operate them. That's where the problem lies.

Cue The Concern Trolls!

Instead of calling it terrorism, the junk food media and agitators think of this as a mental illness. Instead of thinking this event was motivated by race, they believe it's an attack on the Christian faith. When they said that Obama politicizes tragedies, we wait for the next mass shooting to occur.

Who's fault for the mass shootings in America?

A. Barack Obama
B. The Republican Party
C. The Democratic Party
D. The Junk Food Media (i.e. cable news, talk radio, the bloggers, the agitators etc.)
E. The Shooter
F. All Of These Above

Okay, easy answer it's the shooter. But if you answer A, B, C, then you're right in some way.

President Barack Obama has spoken many times on the wake of tragedies in the United States.

He's called upon Congress to do something about it. The Congress has failed in the wake of numerous mass shootings in America. They can't pass a simple background check law because  they fear the National Rifle Association.
Concern trolls like Matt Drudge focus on Black crime.
The NRA believes that any law that involves gun control is impeding on the owner's right to sale a firearm to a terrorist.

The most recent shootings of nine at a Charleston, SC church to the morning incident in Cincinnati where a police officer was gunned down, has got the nation talking.

The concern trolls are often trigger happy when it comes to the blame game. They finger someone other than the perpetrator for these tragedies.

Yeah, the rhetoric is overheated by those on the left and the right. Yeah, I've singled out mostly our conservative agitators in the media of creating the racial divide. I believe the liberal agitator exploit the racial divide.

For every shooting in America, there's talk about what the shooter's motives were. Witness said that Charleston shooter Dylann Storm Roof told a woman that he wanted to shoot because in his mind, Blacks are raping our White women, taking over the government and ruining the country.

That seems pretty racially motivated. Despite the conservative agitators trying to make it less than what it seems, Black America has seen it one too many times.

And of course, the verb crew. The would have, should have, could have, may have crowd.
These old farts are concern trolls too. When an event that occurs in America involving Black men, these agitators find some way to change the subject. They often focus on Barack Obama as the reasons for racial unrest. Their audience could be inspired to carry out a terrorist attack.
Again, a person who is motivated to shot will not care who gets hits. A concealed carry shooter will likely be the first person gunned down. Cause a shooter isn't going talk to you. He's gonna shot you.

Let's blame Obama, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Black America, Democrats, Republicans, liberals, conservatives and whoever we can type in our social media comment section.

You have a right to point the finger at everyone but the shooter. Given the polarizing media coverage of shootings and the racial divide, it's expected that someone will find some issue with it.

Black right wing troll Kevin Jackson.
There's no difference between a 21 year old who killed nine to a 21 year old who killed a member of law enforcement. But to the concern trolls, it's a matter of that racial skin color.

So tell me what event happened in America that involved guns?

I mean there's probably over 100 incidents within the minute I've typed.

Concern trolls are pathetic. They often find some tangent to a situation. Check it. If there were six major events where the police used brutal or deadly force on Black Americans, the concern troll will find some reason to discredit the need for better policing.

The concern troll will bitch about Black crime in America. They will say that without cops, armed vigilantes, stop-and-frisk tactics, Blacks wouldn't cause so much crime.

They say that Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims shouldn't own firearms. They believe that Obama doesn't talk about criminal behavior by Black America. They believe that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are not concerned.

Oh course, they're concerned. Sharpton has done many events in which he's discussed the gun violence in Chicago and many other cities.

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Kevin Jackson, Bill O'Reilly, Fox News The Drudge Report, Colin Flaherty and Charles C. Johnson are notorious concern trolls. They have no shame in what they do. They are considered enemies of the Black community. Those who associate around them are often extremists.

These agitators say in one breath the need for gun control. This need only applies for non-White citizens. They can't go a day without dragging President Barack Obama's name into a controversy.

How many more times?

Mass shootings in America is almost like a daily occurrence.

Words by Jon Stewart. The comedian may end his season with these powerful words. Retirement is one thing he's looking forward too. But in the meanwhile, he continues on with his style of taking on the news. In this video, he didn't joke much about the tragedy. He basically went right on it.
