'Do I think justice was served? No ... I think this city is still owed an apology,' Chicago's police chief says after Jussie Smollett's charges were dropped.

“From top to bottom this is not on the level,” Mayor Rahm Emanuel said. “At the end of the day, it’s Mr. Smollett that committed this false claim.”

While Johnson and Emanuel said they were mad at prosecutors, their harshest words were aimed at Smollett.beaten up by two masked menThe actor, who is black and gay, said his attackers hurled racist and homophobic slurs before punching him, putting a noose around his neck and pouring what he said was bleach on him.

Anyone paid for a routine service...CAN BE TURNED INTO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY BY THESE CREEPS! Because no one is MONITORING these abusers of authority. ALL POLICE DEPARTMENTS SHOULD HAVE CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT!

“Civil rights used to be about treating everyone the same. But today some people are so used to special treatment that equal treatment is considered to be discrimination.”

An apology? No, we are owed a trial. This can’t stand.

Because those prosecutors will get destroyed by Jussie Smollett, legal team. Can you imagine a trial being played out not only in the court room but in the court of public opinion. A jury pool already poisoned! It would have been a complete mess!

There was no plea deal. You can't have a plea deal with no charge!!! All 16 false charges where dropped. A settlement/agreement was reached. JussieSmollett was innocent and was double victimized by corrupt CPD & Foxnews to push their Trump narrative. shameonFox

Releasing details is good. Making judgements on those details are not. Saying “he wrote a check to the brothers for $3500” would be fine. Saying “he paid the brothers $3500 to stage the attack” is not fine. Saying “a note exists” over “Jussie wrote a note” when not a fact is sad

The Chicago PD publicly announced every detail of this case as it progressed. It was extremely irresponsible. I don’t know why people weren’t pointing this out at the time.

Superintendent also said in a news conference that Jussie wrote the letter to himself, but then the FBI had to come out and say “actually no, we have no idea or proof of who wrote it”.

Per TMZ, the superintendent was running his mouth about Jussie paying them $3500 for an attack, but it was later verified he paid them that money for personal training services.

JussieSmollett is a double victim. If u don't understand the mind of a victim, & the strain on him, & trust he put on his legal counsel, then many shouldn't talk about living in another's life. When those who are supposed to protect you turn on u, u give up foxnews is fakenews

Damn WhitePrivilege

I don't understand how this reversal was possible.

Is it just me or does everyone want to see 2 White guys actually beat his ass for getting away with this? This is a spit in the face of the Justice system and should be ashamed.

Don’t hold your breath! 😢

Really! Is that your final answer? 😂😂JustSaying

Jussie is a bold face liar he knows he did it & he has to live with that of course if he has no morals it won’t bother him & how were the-charges dropped that is the million $ question boy r there some dirty lieing people in Chicago

Race/orientation privilege.

Maybe card is in the mail yer honorship ElrushboRush FoxNews benshapiro RealJamesWoods

If it was reversed and he was a White rich guy claiming Two black guys attacked him and put a rope around his neck He would be sitting in a jail cell not adjudicated! I smell a rat! This was a high up string pulling probably by Obama

He must have called in favors from President Obama.

How many times was justice not served in your city Mr. Mayor? You’ll get over it!

'Failed' justice!! Call in FBI!!

Democrat Judge Watkins was successful in the Democratic primary on March 18, 2014. Democrats proving yet again how corrupt and dishonest they are and how they will not prosecute anyone that is on their side..Socialist DEM Party can never be trusted...they are professional liars.

Justice won’t be served until these Nigerian friends of smollets, who viciously beat him for no apparent reason, are arrested...but instead I’m sure they got another pay day from smollet to shut up

Can’t let a Black guy get away with pulling some rich White guy stuff, can we?

If he can live with this lie, that’s all you need to know about his character...he’s morally bankrupt... as is, in spite of their constant virtue signaling, most of Hollywood

USA NASA USA FEDERAL USA CIA...FBI ..USA FEDERAL JUDGE FEDERAL COURT. JUDGE VLADIMIR PUTIN DONALD TRUMP ON.AMERICAN NATIONAL EMERGENCY IS TRY TO RULE AMERICA ON MILITARY POLICE SITUATIONS

🤮🤮🤮🤮💩

Finally something we can agree on.

Something stinks Can You SMOLLETT TOO?!!🤮💩

Oh the irony, given this is coming from Emanuel! It’s unfortunate though that the justice systems continues to demonstrate how broken it is...

I don’t care about this story. Cover something that is actually important. I wont watch any coverage of this

We shouldn't be using the media to convict a person. This is known as the wrongful capital and most corrupted and segregated city. Just take a good look at Laquan Mcdonald case and all the wrongful conviction with no accountability.

Chicago police should go and f themselves... Their evidence was thrown out.

Justice was definitely not served he needs to be punished for his actions period.

Do something about police falsifying evidence then come talk to me.

Oh okay... Listen up City of Chicago, I apologize. That's that!

Justice was not served.

I'm more interested in the man who makes decisions on America's behalf.

I'm praying Jussie sues Chicago for pain and suffering. Only then will this be a total cluster fuck.

Yes justice was served

The Mayor and Police Superintendent of Chicago are angry tonight, because Jussie Smollett was treated like a rich European-American man. The charges against Smollett were dropped by the Illinois State Attorney.

Wow, I actually agree with Emanuel.

Today was the day that all Americans really lost faith in justice. We have seen a coin flip on certain cases. But today with all the evidence we have seen, there should be not doubt he was guilty. Today message was a slap in the face to us all.

Someone cut one heck of a deal? I certainly didnt want to see him locked up for years. A heartful apology & maybe some meaningful community service would be nice?

Charges dropped? So.. not guilty?

Money money money.

He'll never work in entertainment again - except maybe as a radio weatherman on some western plains junior collage campus.

Maybe evil 911 should not have lied about Jessie smollett charges and then waste all our taxpayers time kinda like when 911 came to my house for public intoxication back in 81

With Trump, they want to prosecute without evidence. With Jussie, they have boatloads of evidence but refuse to prosecute. This is how leftists think.

Do I think the Chicago PD full of corruption. YES until they account for all the unarmed killings of black men don’t talk to us about unfair justice! They fucked up trying to prosecute a victim instead, get over it JussieSmollet

This is a very, very strange thing . Let’s make a deal!!

Typical! Two standards of justice. One for Trump haters and other Americans. He said MAGA hat wearers assaulted him!!!

Send in the Feds to prosecute this loser properly
