The superintendent was ousted just hours after saying he had no plans to leave. Dean reynolds is live with more. Dean, good morning. Reporter good morning. Days ago, Gary Mccarthy seemed relatively secure in his job. But a rising tide of shooting, murders, and gang violence, together with a drop in public trust in the police, seems to have moved Rahm Emanuels hand and forced him to make a decision to change. Police superintendent Gary Mccarthy has been under pressure since protests followed the release of this dash cam video showing chicago Police Officers Jason Van Dyke shooting 17yearold Laquan Mcdonald 16 times last october. Many, including local politicians, called for mccarthy to resign, and tuesday mayor emanuel followed through. He has become an issue rather than dealing with the issue. Reporter the mayor also announced the creation of a new Police Accountability task force. But a group of faith and Community Leaders demonstrating outside the Mayors Office called for an independent Police Auditor instead. The mayor calling for a special task force is kind of like the fox watching the hen house. Reporter he machiemanuel fa criticism over the citys handling of the controversy.

Reporter at a nighttime rally in New Hampshire, trump dismissed the rest of the gop pack and repeated his debunked claim that he saw thousands of muslims celebrating in new jersey on 9 11. I saw it and a lot of people saw it. Reporter as proof he cited a newspaper article as well as clips from mtv in 2001, none of which showed a large celebration. There has been no jubilee in the streets. Reporter jeb bush accused trump of saying things he knows arent accurate for shock value. Hes going too far and showing a lack of seriousness as being capable of being president. Reporter bush is stuck at 5 in the latest poll, while senators marco rubio and ted cruz are both up 3 points from last month. Nonetheless, bush set his sights on Democratic Front runner Hillary Clinton and these comments she made to charlie rose about fighting isis.
