That is one strange looking woman. Kind of like if Greta had a great aunt of color.
Also, Lori Lighthead is endorsing Kimm Foxx, of the Smullet cover up, for re-election.

For what? Has more of a failed cover-up feel to me.He was already retiring at the end of the year.
Google "scapegoat" and get back to me.

Does getting fired have any effect on the dude's retirement financially?
Did that change since the retirement announcement?Eddie Johnson has committed the unforgivable sin of supporting his officers when the "community" deems them unworthy of support. Lightfoot has been criticized by "community advocates" as being "pro cop" for keeping him around.
Now, does Eddie have a drinking problem, did that have anything to do with his kidney failure and was he trying to avoid admitting to that? Probably....but that could be dealt with in a "run out the clock" situation if Mayor Lightfoot had wanted to. Apparently she didn't and there has to be a reason for that.
Did that change since the retirement announcement?
I don't think so. What apparently has changed is additional evidence about the incident which allows the mayor cover for an immediate firing.
Now, this could all be legit....but why would I assume that, given the players?
Yes. LL said he had to go for "misleading the public..." about the sleeping/passed out in the car incident. By that standard, shouldn't they all resign? Or is it only if you get caught and can't wiggle out of it?
I'll never understand why an adult, especially a police officer, wouldn't just call for a ride. It's not like anyone would likely tow that car if it was left overnight
Reports that he was drinking with a woman in the vehicle. This changes nothing for me. I believe this was the info. allowed her to fire him before his retirement. However, if she wasn't looking to use this firing politically, it did not have to happen this way. It's not about whether Eddie Johnson did things he should not have. It's about Lori Lightfoot appeasing some groups, and Eddie gave her the opportunity.
