Preib's a hypocrite. He's angry that the FOP is no longer being coddled

Martin Preib and the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police taint the reputation of ALL Unions.

This case proves it.

Best EmpireFOX episode ever: Smollett receives threatening letter, Smollett reports getting attacked, Smollett's character removed from episodes of Empire, Grand jury returns 16-count indictment, and Prosecutors drop the charges. Big finish: Smollett sues everybody.

This guy is a joke! ? where were u whn L McDonald was sht 16x? ? where were u whn the police officer tried to cover up? ? why cnt u hve this same type of emotions, outcry, and discuss when the officer shoot an unarmed blkman? Think u can do that sir?

CNN is obsessed the bulk guy did something made for rich whites, got off from judicial system. It is ridiculous to see blacks come out and raise holy hell over jussie gym ovr when they know damn well sm officers have killed innocent black& brownmen and whites get off all the time

BrookeBCNN Why aren't WhitePeople rioting, looting, burning cars, smashing up our neighborhoods? Oh yeah. Now I remember. BlackInAmerica MAGA BLEXIT PRESIDENTTRUMPTHEGREAT

What a sick guy. To say that if he did one drop of it he would not be his mother’s son.... i dont think there is anyone who believes he is totally blameless. So.... he is not his mother’s son.

He’s right

JussieSmollettisadisgrace. He has exploited both marginalized groups and actual hate crime victims for notoriety.

My God. What could the motive be to disrespect the law enforcement community in Chicago, including the Mayor, in favor of a wealthy, high-profile liar?

This case is very dirty, the network that breaks this one is going to get the big prize!!

Benedict Arnold Trump is going to edit out his crimes from the Mueller report before it's released. By comparison, I couldn't care less what Jussie Smollett did.

Drain that swamp

Right?! That cop got a few years for murdering an unarmed black man. That's not justice! Oh he's not complaining about that?

What about all the police officers that get off for shooting people.......but that's ok......

Tell Preib to clean up his own fucking house.

Get that black man in jail now! Wheres the manager!

What a joke... it’s been a joke.

CNN is still on the air? Why?

Black celebrity privilege

Well if it wasn't in life-support two days ago, it definitely is now.

I don't think he's innocent necessarily but why the hell is the FOP on the news about this? Not sure how they could take time out of their schedule defending cops who shoot unarmed black men.

Buahhhahah Tell that to all the innocent people you shoot, and all the death investigations you fail

Clearly there’s a lack of justice in all of America, not just Chicago Illinois

The issue with a Democrat ran city. Look around the country. Track record and the police and citizens who try to matter are forgotten

Let me tell you what's sad, the mayor signed so angry over this but never thus angry when one of Chicago's finest guns down a citizen. How much has that cost the city?

Isn’t that Obama’s city?

Obama Sucks...JussieSmolettHoax

Boycott Empire !!!

Seriously let’s be honest, the State Attorney General was in on the scam from the beginning. Yes corrupt 🤨

THIS DOESNT MATTER
