5:48Now PlayingRahm Emanuel claims to care about police brutality, corruption, and the lives of African Americans in Chicago. Now the AP has found that there were thousands of emails back and forth between Emanuel and the police over the past year, mostly concerned with PR. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"After reading The Post's story and watching that video above, ask yourself: Is there any way Chicagoans upset with police violence can be convinced their mayor is the solution to their problems?
I'd argue the opposite is true; these protesters seem to think booting the mayor is the answer to cleaning up Chicago's police force. And they're getting more and more vocal about it as time ticks on, despite all of Emanuel's efforts to hold himself and the police force accountable for recent deadly shootings.
This presents a troubling reality for Emanuel: Fairly or not, he has become a symbol for what's wrong with Chicago's police. It's not just that they are mad this happened on his watch; he is increasingly viewed as the problem. And he's has become the target for residents' frustrations with the police in a way other city leaders who have presided over similar unrest have not.
And that's the worst-case scenario for a mayor who now, more than ever, needs to earn his people's trust to try to lead his city out of this crisis -- and keep his job.”*
