Chicago should concentrate on the millions of dollars spent because of police misconduct. A corrupt police force is a bigger problem than Jussie.
Replying to
The city of Chicago decided to spend excessive money/time on this case. Is this done to solve excessive homicide cases involving black ppl there? Was excessive attention paid to the Smollett case more to prove that white men didn’t commit the crime, or to protect the blk victim?
Replying to
Wait....they dropped all charges and want him to pay for the investigation? That’s bizarre. Either charge him with filing a false report or move on.
