Police chief: Smollett's motive "pissed everybody off"

Chicago police superintendent Eddie Johnson said his department was "pissed off" when they discovered Jussie Smollett's actual motive.

Moments ago, Johnson said the "Empire" actor staged the attack on himself because he was unhappy with his salary. Smollett was treated as a victim until police learned more details, Johnson said. "Quite frankly, it pissed everybody off because we have to invest valuable resources," he said.

I don't think I have seen that one before. Maybe, I don't recall it.

He'll be convicted, do some time, get out early for good behavior, and then go on to star in his own reality show...
