>> THE CHICAGO CITY COUNCIL HAS ONCE AGAIN VOTED TO REJECT AN EFFORT BACKED BY THE CITY'S LARGEST POLICE UNION.

THAT WOULD END THE SYSTEM HOLE TO HOLD OFFICERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR SERIOUS MISCONDUCT FOR THE PAST 60 YEARS.

LET'S LISTEN TO A BIT OF THE FIERCE DEBATE.

>> ALL I CONSTANTLY HERE AND THERE IS POLICE ARE RACIST.

POLICE ARE RACIST OR ANTI-BLACK.

THE ANTI HISPANIC, ANTI WHATEVER.

THAT IS THE MOST WITH ABSOLUTE NONSENSE THING I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE BECAUSE WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT RADIO.

WHEN THAT CALL COMES OUT, NOT ONE SINGLE TIME.

SECOND ANYBODY NO LONGER ANY OTHER SLAVERY WAS LEGAL, WANTS.

>> PLESSY VERSUS FERGUSON SAID THAT BLACK PEOPLE ARE 3 FIFTHS OF A PERSON.

I KNOW IF YOU NOTICED, BUT THE LAW DOESN'T ALWAYS GET IT RIGHT.

>> WDW NEWS REPORTER HEATHER SHOWING JOINS US NOW.

KNOW THAT SEEMS LIKE A HEATED DEBATE.

HEATHER REMIND AS WHAT WAS AT STAKE WITH TODAY'S VOTE.

SO FOR MUCH OF THE PAST 60 YEARS, OFFICERS ACCUSED OF SERIOUS MISCONDUCT THAT COULD RESULT IN THEIR TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF MORE THAN A YEAR HAD THEIR FATES DECIDED BY THE CHICAGO POLICE BOARD AFTER A PUBLIC HEARING.

THE CHICAGO FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE, THE CITY'S LARGEST POLICE UNION SAYS THAT IS IN VIOLATION OF STATE LAW AND THEY WANT THEIR MEMBERS TO BE ABLE TO CHOOSE WHETHER TO HAVE THEIR FATES DECIDED BY THAT PLEA SPORT OR AN ARBITRATOR.

NOW IT'S CLEAR THAT MOST OFFICERS WILL FACE A MUCH LIGHTER PUNISHMENT IF THAT DECISION IS MADE BY AN ARBITRATOR BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

THE CITY COUNCIL TODAY VOTED FOR THE SECOND TIME TO REJECT THAT DECISION BY ANOTHER ARBITRATOR, SENDING THE MATTER TO COOK COUNTY 2 IN COOK COUNTY JUDGE TO DECIDE WHICH AT IS GOING TO BE A FIERCE LEGAL BATTLE.

SO WHAT HAPPENS SO THAT LEGAL BATTLE WILL START IN A HEARING THAT IS ALREADY SCHEDULED FOR LATER THIS MONTH AT RISK IS WHETHER OFFICERS NEARLY 20 OF THEM AT THIS POINT WILL FACE IMMINENT POLICE PORT HEARINGS, INCLUDING OFFICER ERIC STILLMAN, WHO IS ACCUSED OF SHOOTING ADAM TOLEDO.

AFTER THAT, THIS CHILD DROPPED A GUN.

THE CITY OF CANNES.

THE CITY COUNCIL'S VOTE SETS UP WHAT IS LIKELY TO BE A FIERCE LEGAL BATTLE.

ONE THAT MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON SAID HE'S WILLING TO FIGHT.

LET'S TAKE A LISTEN.

>> THE CITY OF CHICAGO IS CLEAR THAT IN ORDER TO RESTORE AND IN MANY CASES, NOT EVEN JUST A STORE, JUST BUILD TRUST.

HAVING OPEN, TRANSPARENT PROCESS.

THAT'S WHAT THE PEOPLE OF CHICAGO DESERVE AND THEY WANT.

>> AND HEAD OF THERE WAS ALSO NEWS TODAY IN THE MIGRANT CRISIS, WHICH STATE AND COUNTY OFFICIALS PLEADING TO SET ASIDE ADDITIONAL 250 MILLION DOLLARS TO HELP CARE FOR THE PEOPLE SENT TO CHICAGO FROM THE SOUTHERN BORDER.

WILL THAT BE ENOUGH?

IT WON'T BE.

THERE'S AT LEAST A 70 MILLION DOLLARS GAP BETWEEN WHAT STATE AND COUNTY OFFICIALS THINK THAT THERE WILL BE NEEDED TO CARE FOR THE MIGRANTS.

>> THE CITY HAS NOT YET COMMITTED TO MAKING UP THAT DIFFERENCE, WHICH MITT MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON AGAIN TODAY SAYING THAT THE STATE NEEDS TO MAKE GOOD ON ITS PROMISES TO OPEN IN 2000 BED SHELTER AND AGAIN, CALLING ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO STEP UP AND CARE FOR THESE MIGRANTS.

BECAUSE, OF COURSE, AS WE'VE ALL REPORTED, IMMIGRATION IS A FEDERAL RESPONSIBILITY.

IT IS OF DEEP MESS.

CLEARLY THE BREACHES BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE STATE ARE GROWING.

WE WILL KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON CONTAIN AS WELL.

THANK YOU, HEATHER.

THANKS, AND YOU CAN READ
