Arrogance of Power

For John, BLUF:  Mayor Rahm Emanuel (Dead Fish) is an arrogant person who does damage to democracy.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

From the Instapundit Blog Site, Law Professor Glenn Reynolds says:

DEMOCRATS IN DISARRAY:  Emanuel responds to broadside from Jesse Jackson Sr.  “Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday vehemently denied that he sat on the Laquan McDonald shooting video until he was safely re-elected after the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. accused the mayor of a cover-up in his most blistering attack on the mayor to date.”

The shooting of Laquan McDonald?  A Policeman arrived on the scene and pumped 16 bullets into young Mr Laquan McDonald, who was armed with a three inch blade knife and walking away.  This was almost two years ago.

Let us be frank.  Laquan McDonald was a punk.  On the other hand, he was still a human being and what happened to him was flat out wrong.♠

Covering up how it happen, by the City of Chicago, only made it worse.
