Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel risks getting impeached after an alleged cover-up on the shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. According to Fuzion, the Chicago community is being joined by legislators and organizers to call for the immediate resignation of Emanuel.

In October of 2014, Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke shot and killed McDonald. During the investigation, the Chicago community demanded the release of the tape that could explain the mystery on what really happened. More than a year later, not a single information about the video tape was released and Van Dyke continued to work on what they call a "limited duty."

VanDyke pleaded not guilty on the first-degree murder charges against him, something that only came to light as a form of vindication after the tape was released. Mayor Emanuel's apparent indecision about the whole incident, particularly on the exposure of the tape, caused Chicago activist to doubt his intentions.

Allegedly, the mayor's lawyers also held on to video while they tried to strike a deal with the family of McDonald. If the allegations were true, then his interview with MSNBC confirms how much he trusts his law enforcement force when it comes to dealing with civilians.

In his interview, he said, "We have really good leadership in the department. From the district level all the way up." Meanwhile, according to the Chicago Tribune, Gov. Bruce Rauner expressed his dismay over the mayor's lack of action towards police-involved shootings and how he handles such situations.

The governor even proposed to sign a legislation that will allow voters to impeach or recall a Chicago mayor in the event that he can't act on some major issues about the city. Rauner was also asked to give his evaluation on Emanuel, to which the former declined to give details, specifically on the issues pertaining how he handle Chicago's Police Department.

He also revealed his disappointment on Anita Alvarez, Cook County State's Attorney, criticizing her over their lack of concern over the matter. In his statement, he said, "I am very disappointed with the mayor and the state's attorney of Cook County, very disappointed. I am not going to say more than that right now."

While his proposition to sign a legislature that allows voters in Chicago to recall their mayor doesn't particularly apply to Emanuel's current position, the legislature will affect upcoming mayors of the city. Rahm Emanuel has since asked the department's superintendent Garry McCarthy to step down from his position.
