Black Lawmakers Split On Whether Rahm Emanuel Should Resign

WASHINGTON - Members of the Congressional Black Caucus are split on whether Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel should resign for his actions in the case of the police shooting of Laquan McDonald.

Emanuel has been under fire since the November release of video showing the 2014 police shooting of McDonald. The video - which the city refused to disclose until a court order forced it to do so - showed McDonald being shot 16 times by police in an encounter that played out much differently than the original police account of the incident.

Some CBC members told BuzzFeed News that Emanuel should step down. Others believe it's unlikely that Emanuel would resign and said protesters should use the mayor's vulnerability to push through their demands.

"The challenge for the mayor right now is that he was running in a very tough election during the time the incident originally happened," she said. "It appears there were facts about the case that were [intentionally] concealed for political purposes."

That's a shame.

No, he should not resign. He should be jailed.

Chicago is edging ever closer to being another Detroit. If Rahm resigns, it just accelerated the process. As bad as he may be, I would shudder to think who might replace him. It won’t be a Guliani or Bloomberg clone.

If the mayor was a white Republican they would be dragging him out of his house and hanging him from the nearest tree by now.

Resignation isn’t enough. If Emmanuel really cared about Social Justice it’d be seppuku. I’d be willing to settle for the hand-grenade-to-the-belly kind instead of the spill-your-intestines-on-the-ground kind, but if he wants to prove he really cares he’s gotta go for the knife, preferably at halftime at the next Bears home game. I mean this in the kindest possible way.
