7. Rahm's low hanging fruit. Why did the aldermen circle the wagons?

They knew everything. That's not speculation: the settlement was based on the family's attorney's account after watching the video. He told the aldermen exactly what he saw, which completely refuted the police report. But the day after the video was released to the public, the black caucus called a news conference where they made the claim they were "misled."

Rahm is a Machiavellian douche who only cares about 1 thing, becoming president.

The black caucus failed its community. WTF? They didn't care in the least. That's the story here. They need to be held accountable for their inaction. But that story is going to get buried. It's almost as if they've been in office so long they're jaded to all of this, at best. At worst, they had something to gain from covering up and saving Rahm's career.

Rahm's not the only one who needs to go. Sadly, no one will glance at the aldermen who claim they were misled and didn't demand the video in February after a copy of the autopsy was obtained and after hearing the attorney's account of the video.
