Rahm Emanuel is an irredeemable person. Just an utter piece of shit. Real talk, Smollett getting off isn't smearing the reputation of the CPD and the city, it's the department's own actions that have resulted in their shit reputation.
I mean this is a pretty fascinating thing
Cops get to scream we did it right
Jussi gets to scream I'm innocent
It's all sealed
Which tells me the Cops didn't do it right and this is the way to let them save face.
Like this is being done in such a way that the Cops get to scream about "injustice" lol

You don't care that he made it even harder for black (and gay) peoples stories to be believed, and you're telling me I'm making it hard? Okay.
Considering the State Attorney and the Asst. State Attorney seem to be putting out conflicting info, I'm not so sure.
The law has never been applied to people equally. The very bedrock of most of our laws is in the fact that other people are not "our equal," for various reasons. See, the electoral college, voter id/poll taxes, etc.
It funny watching these assholes at the CPD squirm like this.
When Obama kicked him out the white house they never really said why, but I get it now. oh god I do
Cops are mad at the state’s attorney (who is the one doing the sealing).
This is the first accusation I've seen levied here about the police trying to frame him.
I guess I can just say fuck every single one of these people, but I'm laughing more at the pathetic CPD cops who want to whine about injustice in a case like this when systematically being corrupt. If there is a greater of the two evils here, Smollett doesn't even compare.
Except literally everyone said the cops did it right in spite of the charges being dropped
Bs
The state attorney which let off Smollett themselves say police case was not wrong and Jussie lied. That’s the whole issue . He was still let go
There's more twists here than the last five minutes of Glass and that is a REALLY hard task to accomplish.
I - I don't fuckin know uh... wut???
I - I don't fuckin know uh... wut???
Really? It's pretty obvious to me that this has been the CPD trying to frame up a black man who was a victim of a hate crime. They're bumbling throughout the investigation, with every single bit of "evidence" for it being fake shown to have massive holes in it. The FBI staying what they've shown is not what the CPD says it is.
The Chicago Police Department is in a constant competition with the NYPD over which set of cops can be the most corrupt and racist.
I think they hurt. How can someone have a legit trial with the police holding press conferences lol.
Add this to the OP as facts :
1. The POLICE department are mad all this happened today
2. The mayor is mad all this happened today
3. The mayor and police are mad at state attorney office for letting Jussie off
4. State attorney says police case was solid and Jussie was not innocent. They did a deal with Jussie and he is now free with no record
5. Jussie says he is still innocent after getting off and says he is being framed by the police and he is still a victim

I....I don't know how to simplify this even further for you. I am not even discussing the Smollet case now to make you understand. I am saying in general it's fun to see cops bitching about accountability and wanting apologies when the general public never gets that from them.
My comment could be about any incident ever in time. I repeat, the preceding event could be about anything ever in the history of the Earth. Cops bitching about stuff the public asks from them time and time again is fun to see. I cannot simplify this anymore for you.
Because the state’s attorney had to recuse herself because of a personal relationship she had with Smollett’s family and working on their behalf to transfer the case. You think she is working with the police department on this plan?
It's the sealing of the case that makes the whole thing look suspect.
Last I read in this thread she wasn't involved in this.

If the police did something nefarious wouldn’t they be joining the State attorney office in being happily freeing Jussie ? There is a clear divide between state and police/mayor today
I'm just saying it's not like the freaking Chicagp PD deserves any benefit of the doubt in life lol
I just jumped from like page 6/7 to Page 20, so its confirmed he did community service? I thought his lawyers said he didn't do community service.
She announced the deal and the dropping of charges. If they were playing a game she would either need to be very dumb to not figure it out or complicit.
From the NYTimes:
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/26/arts/television/jussie-smollett-charges-dropped.html
“After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollett’s volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the city of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case,” the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
In an interview later, Joe Magats, the prosecutor who made the decision, said that there had been no problems with the evidence or the police investigation into Mr. Smollett. Mr. Magats said he dropped the charges after Mr. Smollett agreed to the community service and to give up the $10,000 he paid for his release, money that would have been returned to him if he had made all his court appearances. He also noted that Mr. Smollett had no previous criminal record and said that the dropping of the charges “didn’t exonerate him.”
The sealing of the case doesn't help the CPD save face. If anything, I'd guess he had something that prosecutors want.
It's unusual for prosecutors to just drop a case that was charged by a grand jury.
16 hours? Lmao
This was a slam dunk case for Chicago. It sounds like there's some shadiness (or laziness) going on with the State's Attorney office.
Jussie got off really easy but his reputation in Hollywood is forever fucked.
Can yall quit with this dry ass narrative.
He didn't make shit harder, You either give respect to hear victims accusations out or you don't.
If you're the type to think about this case when someone is reporting a hate crime, then your're just a douchebag to begin with.
Yall keep trying to pretend that people listened to victims with 100% attention before all this and all of a sudden now Smollet broke the collective trust. It says alot more about you than it does Smollet.
It does if say for example the amount of leaking that was coming out of the case jeopardized what was supposedly a slam dunk.
Police here get to be the ones who "care about justice"
So 16 hours, that he started and completed just a few days ago.
Was he ordered to do that?
Did he agree to do that?
Or did he "voluntary" do that?
I'm still not sure what exactly happened. Other than the charges were dropped, and now he's seemingly free to proclaim his innocence to the media, something that typically wouldn't be allowed if he took a plea bargon
This is true.
The actual issue is that his actions might make some who are real victims think twice about coming forward because they're worried that they won't be believed.
Lol so basically technically he isn't guilty because before he got even tried, he paid $10k and did community service? Damn, son.
It’s absolutely bizarre. That nytimes article quote from the prosecution basically makes it seem like part of the deal was that it would not specifically be called a plea deal.
Just when I thought the reputation of Chicago/Illinois couldn’t get much worse.
