Mayor Rahm Emanuel today said the city has an obligation to pay for former Mayor Richard Daley’s legal defense if he is sued for alleged police brutality conspiracies that happened under former Chicago police Cmdr. Jon Burge.
The city will not, however, run up unnecessary legal bills to defend Daley or Burge, Emanuel said.
“We’re not going to be reckless and let the meter run legally,” Emanuel said.
Really? Why don't we stop this one before it even starts then.
Who was Daley working for when all of this allegedly occurred? Does Rahm even remember Daley's title at the time?

Chicago wasn't employing him at the time, nor signing his checks. So what the hell is Rahm doing promising to pay for Daley's alleged actions?
(we realize that living in Chicago, we're also paying Cook County bills, but Rahm shouldn't be spending scarce Chicago money on bills that Cook County should be covering)
