Clinton 'Outraged' By Laquan McDonald Video, But Gives Rahm A Pass

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel can still count Hillary Clinton among his dwindling supporters -- but just barely.

Emanuel's critics allege he tried to cover up damning video of a 2014 incident in which a Chicago cop shot 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times as the teen walked away.

During a Sunday interview on "Meet The Press," host Chuck Todd asked the Democratic presidential candidate if she felt the embattled mayor still had "credibility" among Chicago's black community in the wake of the video's release.

Clinton said she was "outraged" by what happened to McDonald and noted that she was quick to call for a Department of Justice probe into the city's police department after it was released. Clinton went on to voice tepid support for Emanuel, who was once a top aide in her husband's administration and said that Chicago's policing problems are not unique.

"We've got to do a lot more to deal with the systemic racism and the problems that policing has demonstrated," Clinton said. "Mayor Emanuel has said that he is committed to complete and total reform, and I think he should be held to that standard." .........(more)
