part to remove this from the national consciousness because it has been so difficult. i agree with lisa that the chicago police department must feel that they have an ironclad case here against him for them to come out so passionately i would say as well people should look at the interview rahm emanuel gave he was very emotional there talking about what they have done in that city to try to tamp down on gun violence and to change the narrative about chicago. and the damage that this has done because of it. and i think it's also important when you look at the chicago police department to think about what happened with laquon mcdonald, for instance, a story that got all of our attention and what steps they have taken with body cams and hopefully bettering the situation there to be the focus rather than a celebrity story which is what this is panning out to be. >> martha: pathetic attempt at attention-getting. >> he was making $125,000 an episode. did he this to boost up his salary. he already made $7 million and trying to rival the actors of the show famous before they got to empire.
