<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nEx-PH2 sends us a link to the news<\/a> that Chicago’s police superintendent, Garry McCarthy, resigned the other day. Mayor Rahm Emmanuel tells us that he asked for McCarthy’s resignation because he had become a “distraction.”<\/p>\n “This morning I formally asked Supt. McCarthy for his resignation,” Emanuel said at a news conference announcing a newly-formed task force on police accountability. He said while he was grateful for McCarthy’s service, it is an “undeniable fact that the public trust in the leadership of the department has been shaken and eroded.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n McCarthy never deserved the job in the first place. He was out of his depth.<\/p>\n What should be worrying to Emmanuel’s political allies is that McCarthy was loyal soldier of the political Left in Chicago. In February, 2013<\/a>, McCarthy was on a local talk show and blamed legal gun owners for Chicago’s crime. In July, 2014<\/a>, after a particularly bloody weekend, he had a press conference during which he called for tougher gun laws in Chicago, you know, if that’s even possible. This past summer<\/a>, McCarthy blamed Chicago’s weak gun laws for the increased violence during the warmer weather. Since hardly any Chicagoan owns a gun, I have a hard time envisioning how the gun laws there could be tougher, you know, unless they tried to get tougher with the criminals who own guns there.<\/p>\n Loyalty means nothing to the Left, if they see an opportunity to make themselves look good, it won’t take long before you’re looking at the greasy side of the bus. McCarthy had been on the morning talk shows telling Chicago that he wasn’t going to resign – until he got hit by the bus.<\/p>\n ABC7’s Judy Hsu asked: “Should you resign, will you resign?<\/p>\n “Well, no, I’m not going to resign. I’m not going to give up on the city, I’m not going to give up on the good people of Chicago and I’m certainly not going to give up on the Chicago police department,” McCarthy said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So, how’s the view from there, Garry?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
