Chicago Aldermen to Mayor Rahm Emanuel: Not so fast on police reform vote, quit kissing lawless black ass!
Chicago aldermen on Monday offered a "not so fast" message to Mayor Rahm Emanuel as he pushes for a Sept. 14 vote on an overhaul of the complex system that investigates alleged police misconduct.
A group of aldermen got a peek at Emanuel's proposal to replace the Independent Police Review Authority and create a new Police Department inspector general at the second briefing session with top mayoral aides in five days. The City Council members were told the mayor plans to unveil the ordinance Tuesday and press for a vote two weeks later at the next council meeting.
Some aldermen credited the administration with trying to reform the police accountability system beyond just a name change from IPRA to the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, or COPA. And they also said they understood why the mayor wants to move fast, given that IPRA Chief Administrator Sharon Fairley last week said she's losing staff and the ability to keep up with cases because of her agency's uncertain future.
But mayoral critics and allies on the council also let Corporation Counsel Stephen Patton and Emanuel legislative aides know they want to slow the effort.
