As Mayor Rahm Emanuel took another step Wednesday toward the moment he dons a blue police windbreaker, stands on the hood of a CPD squad car and declares “Mission Accomplished” on his campaign promise to put 1,000 more police on the city’s streets, the time has come to take a more active role in correcting him.
Folks, it’s just not true.
At least half the police officers that Emanuel and Police Supt. Garry McCarthy have redeployed since May to help them say they’ve met that goal were already working ON THE STREET fighting crime.
Now where have we read that before? Oh yeah, we wrote it here. And at that time, we were summarizing quite a few irritated and pissed off coppers who saw through Rahm's BS from day one.
So we're up to two columnists who aren't on the Rahm bandwagon? Along with us and our readers? We'll have to move out of our phone booth for the next meeting.
