This is Aljazeera America live from new york city. Im stephanie sy. Chicago police will explain today how they plan top hire a new superintendent. That one day after mayor rahm emanuel called for far reaches reforms. Demonstrators are this morning holding a diein over the shootings deaths of Laquan Mcdonald and ronald john within, demanding that the mayor and top prosecutor resign. I should have given voice to the publics growing suspicion, distrust and anger. Rahm emanuel said he should have done more to change policies that tie his hands on how he is allowed to respond to police shootings, specifically that Police Videos cant be released while an investigation is ongoing.

I want to just invite david to ask, to address whether the, whether we can wait another 30 or 40 or 50 years to take action and expect not to have consequences. Thank you for the question.

And we are in fact creating, there are 100,000 jobs in texas alone. Thank you. I want to welcome sam adams, who works with the World
