Crisis mounts in Chicago as Lightfoot admits lying and an official resigns following brutal police raid
Chicago Corporation Counsel Mark Flessner, the head of the city’s Law Department, tendered his resignation on Sunday as the political fallout mounts following the release of footage of the brutal police raid last year on the home of social worker Anjanette Young.

a senior lawyer for the city just resigned amid allegations of misconduct. a federal judge ruled the attorney hid crucial evidence and then lied about it in the case involving two police officers on trial for a deadly police shooting. the civil case centers around the 2011 death of darius pinex. pinex was shot and killed during a traffic stop on the city s south side. the officers testified pinex s car fit a description they heard over police dispatch with a car wanted in connection with a shooting. it turns out dispatch didn t mention a shooting. the lawyer for the city reportedly denied the recording still existed. the attorney s conduct was called in a word unacceptable. chicago s embattled mayor rahm emanuel echoed the sentiments but affirmed his support for the agency. there is zero tolerance for violating not only the public trust but your professional standards, and there will be no place for that. he has my support to make sure that this does not happen again.
