Dec 2: Hillary Clinton calls for federal inquiry of Chicago police tactics

I missed this-from Dec 2.
I see there are several threads in gd-p claiming Sanders has taken the boldest step yet among the candidates Suggesting that Rahm Emanuel resign. I think it should be investigated--and let the chips fall where they may. I also consider it very bold of Hillary--and the right thing to do---to call for a Federal investigation into this shooting.
But too early for resignation. He may decide to do just that as the protests go on (and they are going on) IMHO


Hillary Clinton calls for federal inquiry of Chicago police tactics

Hillary Clinton is calling for an independent federal inquiry into the Chicago Police Department's tactics following the shooting death of African-American teenager Laquan McDonald by a white police officer, her campaign told the Tribune on Wednesday.

Clinton's stance puts her at odds with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who on Wednesday said he is against a full-blown federal probe.

Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, is "deeply troubled" by the shooting last year of McDonald and the "outstanding questions" it raises, her spokesman Brian Fallon said.

Emanuel has called for a task force to review the Police Department's practices, which is "an important step," Fallon said. "But given the gravity of this tragic situation, she supports a full review by the Department of Justice," he said of Clinton.

Emanuel, a powerful fellow Democrat, has come under harsh criticism for his administration's handling of the shooting and its ...............

His administration spent months trying to keep private a police video that shows McDonald being shot 16 times. The airing of the video last month set off a furor among protesters and community leaders, demanding answers about the shooting and the mystery surrounding it.

Emanuel opposes federal civil rights probe of Chicago police, admits 'mistakes'.................


But Clinton is siding with Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, another influential Democrat, who has called for the Justice Department to look into the police use of deadly force. Madigan wrote a letter Tuesday asking U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch to launch a review because, as she put it, the "trust in the Chicago Police Department is broken."

Clinton does not believe Emanuel should step down as mayor, Fallon said...............
