A Chicago police official who was once among the leading candidates to become the city's top cop has been tapped to become the second in command under acting Superintendent Garry McCarthy.
Al Wysinger, 48, was named first deputy superintendent, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said today at a news conference at police headquarters.
The post had been eliminated under former Superintendent [J-Fled], who stepped down after Emanuel’s election. McCarthy, the former police chief of Newark, was recently appointed Chicago’s police superintendent by Emanuel. His appointment still needs City Council approval.
Garry really stepped in it today, but Al has been taken care of his entire career.
Expect a whole bunch of retirements throughout June as sycophants are rewarded, political enemies are punished and the terminally exhausted decide it's time to move on.
