Praise the Lord.
Lmao yeah its a publicity stunt. What's he going to sue over? His county's Attorney General deciding not to prosecute ? Lmfao.
Meanwhile, under Rahm Emmanuel, the CPD has paid out
over half a billion dollars in police brutality cases. Good thing they're focused on suing over, what? The cost of paying three detectives for a few weeks? Lmao.
So yeah, given the absolute fucking clown show that is the CPD and the city of Chicago's handling of the case and their performance in general under Mayor Emmanuel, I'd also pull stupid fucking stunts so that everyone would talk about anything besides the actual governance of the city.
That's what you would do if you wanted to keep your job. Play down your immense failures so that you can continue being mayor, lest you be beaten by-

Go after Smollett for what, and how? The county prosecution team officially dropping all charges because it's obvious the CPD fucked the case?
Because if there's one thing prosecutors love, it's completely caving on a nationally reported case that's supposedly a slam dunk. I would love to know just how bad the CPD fucked up if the prosecutors decided to give away the entire store rather than have anything relating to the investigation become public record.
I'm fucking lolling at the small government rightwing idiots here cheering on a man who has been found so innocent all charges were officially dropped being forced to pay for the cost of the investigation. What a precedent. Innocent people paying for the privilege of being investigated lmao.
Jesus. You guys are so fucking racist you'd rather enact crushing, moronic laws on society that punish everyone and benefit nobody before you see a black person succeed in any way. What the fuck is wrong with you brain poisoned weirdos?
