Though McCarthy’s record “is a strong one, and one he can be proud of,” Emanuel said, “now is a time for fresh eyes and new leadership.”

McCarthy’s firing follows the release of dash-cam footage that shows officer Jason Van Dyke-who has been charged and let out on bail-letting go 16 rounds of gunfire into the body of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. Although the shooting is clear and cut, the case as a whole has been left with a big question mark due to some actions taken after the incident took place.

The shooting took place in October, however, the footage was not released until late November; and that was an order from the higher ups. The city had come to a money settlement with McDonald’s mother, which leaves many in an outrage since McDonald was a ward of the state at the time of his death.

So many questions. So little answers.

#IJS: It probably needed to be done. I mean, this dude served as police chief while Van Dyke went around the city maliciously harming citizens. Although I am not too sure of Emanuel’s leadership as mayor, this was most likely, based off of what I know, the right decision.
