Fighting for his political life, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) apologized for the “systematic breakdown” that culminated in the “totally avoidable” police shooting of Laquan McDonald and acknowledged the “code of silence” in the Chicago Police Department he once tried to keep out of a court record, the Chicago Sun Times reports.
“The cathartic speech before aldermen, who offered their own apology, did nothing to silence demands for Emanuel’s resignation.”
