>>> THANKS FOR JOINING US WITH THE WEEK IN REVIEW .

I AM PARIS SCHUTZ.

WE WILL BE JOINED BY A VEST IN A MOMENT.

CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS A PERMANENT SUPERINTENDENT.

>> I TRY TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT .

I FIND THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, TRY TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT.

IN THIS ROLE, I WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT.

>> LARRY'S KNOWING TAKE THE REINS AS SUPERINTENDENT OF CITY POLICE AFTER UNANIMOUS CITY COUNCIL VOTE.

HE ASKS FOR FAIRNESS JUDGING POLICE.

>> WE HAVE TO UTILIZE TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TRACK THESE INDIVIDUALS.

>> Reporter: IMMEDIATELY GETS QUESTIONS ON THE RASH OF ROBBERIES ACROSS THE CITY.

WHAT DOES THE CITY DO, WE LIVE UP TO OUR VALUES, WELCOME, WE WILL TRY OUR FREAKING HARDEST TO INTEGRATE YOU AND PROTECT YOU.

>> Reporter: PROGRESSES BLAST GOVERNOR PRITZKER FOR PERCEIVED LACK OF HELP WITH THE MIGRANT CRISIS.

BUSLOADS CONTINUE TO ARRIVE.

>> I BELIEVE WE CAN SECURE THE BORDER, GET THE FUNDING NEEDED TO KEEP GOVERNMENT UP AND RUNNING.

>> WASHINGTON, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAREENS TO SHUT DOWN AFTER MANUFACTURED POLITICAL CRISIS.

>>> IN SPORTS -- >> MAHOMES , TOUCHDOWN CHIEFS.

>> Reporter: HOW LOW CAN AGO?

CUBS ARE ALL BUT ELIMINATED FROM THE PLAY-OFFS AND SOX LOOK TO CLOSE OUT MISERABLE LAST PLAY SEASON.

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL FOR THE BLACKHAWKS AND YOUNG PHENOM CONNOR BEDARD.

>> YOU HAVE TO HAVE HOPE FOR SOMETHING BUT I HAVE HOPE FOR A GREAT PANEL JOINING US, GREG, HEATHER, DAN, MATT .

LET'S GET RIGHT TO IT, YOU SAW THE INTRODUCTORY SPEECH FROM JERRY SNELLING.

AFTER THIS TALK OF POLICE REFORM, DOES IT SURPRISE YOU HE FOCUSED A LOT OF THE SPEECH ON DEFENDING THE POLICE OR JUDGING THEM FAIRLY?

>> NO.

ONE OF THE PROBLEMS HE WILL FACE GOING IN AND SEEMED READY TO TAKE ON IMMEDIATELY WAS THE MORALE PROBLEM ON THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE APPOINTED BY A PROGRESSIVE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL LEANING PROGRESSIVE, HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE POLICE NEW HE WAS GOING TO BACK THEM UP IF THEY DID THE RIGHT THING AND HE WAS VERY CLEAR ABOUT THAT.

HE PLAYED TO A NUMBER OF AUDIENCES DURING THAT SPEECH.

IT WAS A WONDERFUL SPEECH .

HE HAS PROVEN TO BE QUITE THE COMMUNICATOR.

HE KNOWS HIS AUDIENCE, HE READS THE ROOM.

THAT WILL SERVE HIM WELL NOT JUST WITH THE CITY COUNCIL BUT I THINK WITH THE PUBLIC.

>> NO DOUBT VERY EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATOR, VERY DEEP VOICE AND EFFECTIVE SPEECH.

HEATHER CHERONE, SOME OF THAT DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST , THEIR BIGGEST CONCERN IS POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY.

HEADED TO GO OVER?

>> I THINK HE CAUSED PROGRESSIVE ALDERPEOPLE AT SECOND TALKS.

HE WANTED TO SEE BLACK AND LATINO CHICAGOANS PROTESTING.

THEY ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT EVERY DAY.

I THINK THAT DID NOT STRIKE A GREAT NOTE.

HE WILL BE UNDER INTENSE PRESSURE.

THE THIRD CHICAGO HOLY SUPERINTENDENT TO IMPLEMENT THE CONSENT DECREE, MORE THAN FOUR YEARS OLD AND ONLY 5% COMPLETE.

I TRIED TO PRESS THEM ON WHAT HE WOULD CONSIDER A SUCCESS, WHAT PERCENTAGE COMPLETE, HE COULD NOT GIVE ME A FIGURE BUT WANTED SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS.

NO HEARD FROM WE HEARD FROM JOHNSON, DAVID BROWN, NOW LARRY SMELLING.

>> DOES IT STRIKE YOU HE IS NOT TAKING IT AS SERIOUS AS THE REFORM CROWD WANTS HIM TO?

>> I THINK YOU HAVE TWO POLLS.

EVERY MAYOR AND POLICE SUPERINTENDENT WILL TRY TO BALANCE PEOPLE THAT WANT ACCOUNTABILITY AND PEOPLE THAT WANT MORE AGGRESSIVE POLICING FOR VIOLENCE, THIS PERCEPTION THAT CRIME IS UP.

WE COULD BRING IT DOWN 50 DIFFERENT WAYS , IN GENERAL NO, VIOLENT CRIME IS DOWN, OTHER PROPERTY CRIMES ARE UP.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHEN YOU ARE THE POLICE SUPERINTENDENT , YOU HAVE TO COMMAND ALL THESE GUYS.

LIKE CRAIG SAID, MORALES IMPORTANT.

YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE PUBLIC, A LOT OF PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTED AND SERVED AND THE POLICE FORCE IN THE CITY ABSOLUTELY .

>> DAN MENTIONED VIOLENT CRIME IS DOWN BUT CARJACKING, ROBBERY IS WAY UP, HOW DO YOU HOPE SNELLING TACKLE FACINGS WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ?

>> I HOPE YOU IS AFFIRMED AND COMFORTABLE GRASP OF POLITICS THAT SEEMED STRONG THE WAY HE CAME UP TODAY AND QUICKLY SHIFT AND THINK ABOUT POLICE ISSUES, COMMANDING ALL THOSE FORCES .

I LIVE IN THE CITY, THE SOUTH LOOP, A LOT OF THE ISSUES HAVE COME VERY CLOSE IF NOT TO THE FRONT DOOR.

I HOPE THERE'S TIME AND FOCUS FOR HIM TO BE WHERE HE NEEDS TO BE.

>> AT A PRESS CONFERENCE RIGHT AFTER THAT GRILLED ABOUT WHAT TO DO ABOUT ROBBERIES, CONSENT DECREE , WHAT ARE THE FIRST THINGS HE DOES AS HE GETS OFF AND RUNNING LEADING THE DEPARTMENT ?

>> HIS JOB IS TO RESTORE MORALE.

THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT, WHAT WE HEARD CONSISTENTLY AFTER HIS APPOINTMENT.

THAT MEANS FIGURING OUT HOW TO SCHEDULE THE DEPARTMENT, ENSURE THAT OFFICERS DON'T GET THEIR DAYS OFF CANCELED REPEATEDLY AS IT HAPPENED UNDER DAVID BROWN , WHICH WAS A HUGE IMPACT ON MORALE HE WILL HAVE TO SHOW IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, IF THERE IS SOME SORT OF HORRIBLE SHOOTING OR INCIDENT, HE WILL HAVE TO WALK THAT LINE, HOW MUCH WILL HE GET?

NOBODY KNOWS.

IT IS CHICAGO SO PROBABLY NOT THAT LONG >> I DON'T THINK IT IS A HONEYMOON BECAUSE A LOT OF THE ALDERPEOPLE KNOW HIM AND A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS KNOW HIM.

I THINK HE HITS THE GROUND RUNNING.

ONE THING THAT I THOUGHT WAS KEY WITH HIS INITIAL NEWS CONFERENCE WAS THAT HE MADE A POINT OF THANKING MAYOR JOHNSTON FOR BEING A GOOD LISTENER.

THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE.

>> MAYBE THERE PHILOSOPHIES ARE BIT DIVERGENT.

JOHNSON GOING TO HIS EXPERTISE.

>> THE END OF THAT STATEMENT AFTER THANKING HIM FOR BEING A GOOD LISTENER, THE MAYOR HEARD ME, THE MAYOR UNDERSTANDS I HAVE A JOB TO DO, I UNDERSTAND HE HAS A JOB TO DO AND I SUPPORT IT.

HE KNOWS THAT I AM THE SUPERINTENDENT.

HE WAS VERY CLEAR HE WILL RUN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

THAT WAS AN ISSUE WITH DAVID BROWN AND LORI LIGHTFOOT.

>> WE WILL IMMEDIATELY SEE THIS TESTED, BRANDON JOHNSON HAS TO REVEAL HIS BUDGET AND A LITTLE MORE THAN A WEEK AND EVERYBODY WILL BE SCOURING THE DOCUMENTS TO FIND OUT IF THERE'S MORE MONEY FOR SPOT SHOTTER WHICH BRANDON JOHNSON THOMAS DURING THE CAMPAIGN SAYING THAT IT IS UNFAIR WAY OF POLICING ANNE BROWN COMMUNITIES.

LARRY SMELLING WAS OUT THERE SUPPORTING SHOTSPOTTER AND MAKING THE CASE FOR IN FRONT OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

THAT WILL TELL US WHO WON THAT ARGUMENT WHICH WILL BE VERY INTERESTING.

>> SHOTSPOTTER.

CONTROVERSIAL PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY THAT THE TAX WHAT IS SEEMINGLY GUNFIRE.

DAN, DO YOU WANT TO JUMP IN FOR SECOND?

>> I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT CRAIG IS ON A GOOD POINT, WITH SNELLING, ONE THING THEY'RE PUSHING HARD, HE IS A CHICAGOAN , WE HAVE GONE FROM REFORMERS FROM OUT OF TOWN LIKE JODY WEISE , BEFORE THAT WAY BACK, ORLANDO WILSON AFTER THE SOMERDALE SCANDAL.

WE COME BACK TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE THEIR ROOTS HERE AND NO ONE COMMODITIES.

CAN THE KNOWN COMMODITY REALLY CHANGE OR WANT TO CHANGE THE INSTITUTION , I THINK THAT IS NOT CLEAR TO US YET.

WE HAVE TRY TO DO BACKGROUND CHECKING ON HIM.

WB EASY FILE THE LAWSUIT, ALL OF HIS MISCONDUCT FILES.

>> THERE WERE A COUPLE MISCONDUCT.

>> SO MANY , EXEMPTION FOR THE LOT SAYS UNDULY BURDENSOME FOR THEM TO PRODUCE ALL THESE RECORDS, THEY WON'T HAVE TO GIVE THEM TO YOU AND THAT IS WHAT THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT TRIES TO CLAIM.

THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM, IT WILL TAKE TOO LONG.

LET'S SETTLE THAT.

>> YOU ARE NOT GIVING UP THAT EASILY.

YOU WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP.

>> CIRCUIT COURT.

>> IT IS A FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION, CAN SOMEONE DISPENSE THE BETTER PART OF 30 YEARS IN DEPARTMENT BELEAGUERED BY SCANDAL AFTER SCANDAL REALLY BE SOMEBODY THAT CAN FIRMLY REFORM THE DEPARTMENT ?

THIS IS THE SEVENTH MAJOR ATTEMPT TO FROM THE DEPARTMENT.

CAN AN INSIDER DO IT?

THAT IS WHAT BRANDON JOHNSON IS BETTING ON.

>> THE OTHER BIG TASK FOR BRANDON JOHNSON IS A MIGRANT CRISIS.

MORE BUSLOADS THIS WEEK.

DO YOU FEEL LIKE THIS PLAN FOR TENT CITY SOMEWHERE, WE DON'T KNOW WHERE YET, ONE THAT QUELLS SOME OF THE PROBLEMS ?

>> IT SEEMS SO.

IT IS HEARTBREAKING BECAUSE FOR YEARS, HAVING DRIVEN BY OUR WALKED BY TENT CITY AND SEE THIS OUTBREAK OF EMPATHY, THAT IS THE GOAL FOR THE PEOPLE WE ARE SEEING IN FROM THE POLICE STATIONS AND LOCAL GROCERY STORES, IT IS THE BIGGEST TEST OF HUMAN EMPATHY I HAVE FOUND AS A CITY DWELLER IN A LONG TIME AND IT FEELS TERRIFYING AND HELPLESS ON THEIR BEHALF.

>> THE SOUTH LOOP, THE POLICE STATION, THERE OUTSIDE , YOU CAN'T MISS THEM .

>> THERE IS A SENSE OF COOPERATION ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS PEOPLE TRY TO DO EVERYTHING.

PEOPLE AT THE GROCERY STORE CONSTANTLY BUYING TWO OF SOMETHING AND HANDING SOMETHING OUT.

IT FEELS LIKE, HELP ME AS SANCTUARY CITY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT CENTURY CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE DOING .

>> THIS WHOLE THING JERRY CITY THING IS GETTING TESTED, HEATHER CHERONE.

YOU THINK GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT IN TEXAS, WHEN HE STARTED SENDING MIGRANTS IN BUSES, IT APPEARS TO BE A POLITICAL STUNT, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED, INFIGHTING, TROUBLE, DEMOCRAT THE BIG CITIES NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO.

>> THAT IS EXACTLY IT.

HE EXPLODED THE CITY DEFICIT SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $200 MILLION.

I WOULD IMAGINE HE THINKS THAT MEANS THE MONEY HE SPENT SENDING THESE PEOPLE WAS NOT MUCH MORE THAN THE CLOTHES ON THEIR BACKS TO CHICAGO AND NEW YORK WHICH HAS A BIGGER BUDGET CRISIS THAN CHICAGO AND ILLINOIS MONEY WELL SPENT.

I THINK THAT IS WHAT WE HEARD FROM SOME ALDERPEOPLE ON THE FLOOR CITY COUNCIL HE DID NOT WANT TO SEE THE INFIGHTING, THE ANGER AND PAIN AND FRUSTRATION THAT SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO PEOPLE MANUFACTURING THIS HUMANITARIAN CRISIS.

THAT IS FINE.

THESE PEOPLE STILL DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO LIVE .

ARE WE REALLY A CITY THAT WILL TOLERATE 2300 MEN, WOMEN , AND CHILDREN LIVING NOWHERE BUT THE FLOORS OF POLICE STATIONS AND AIRPORTS?

>> THERE IS A HEARING IN CITY COUNCIL AND COMMITTEE ON THIS CRISIS.

A LOT OF HARSH WORDS FROM CARLOS RAMIREZ.

THE GOVERNOR HAS NOT STEPPED UP, THE STATE HAS NOT.

WHAT IS HIS BEEF?

>> PART OF HIS BEEF IS THE GOVERNOR TALKS ABOUT PROGRESSIVES, HIS PROGRESSIVE VALUES.

BUT HE ASKS THAT DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF, WHAT HAS THE STATE DONE?

THEY HAVE PROVIDED FUNDING FOR ONE CENTER THAT IS MORE OF A HEALTH CENTER BUT THAT CENTER IS NOT OPEN YET.

HE SAYS HOW MANY OTHER CENTERS OR SHELTERS HAS THE STATE SPENT MONEY FOR?

SHE SAYS NONE.

HE WAITED LIKE SEVERAL SECONDS INSIDE, I WANT THAT TO HANG IN THE AIR.

>> VERY DRAMATIC.

>> AND THEN SAYS, THIS GOVERNOR CAN TALK ALL HE WANTS BUT THE STATE HAS FAILED US.

WE NEED MORE HELP FROM THE STATE THAT IS WHAT HE IS BASICALLY SAYING, THIS IS A SANCTUARY STATE.

WE ARE TAKING THE WHOLE BURDEN OURSELVES AND IT NEEDS TO BE SPREAD AROUND.

>> THERE WERE OTHERS IN THE PRITZKER CAN'T SING WE SPENT $300 MILLION.

WHAT IS THE TRUTH?

>> THAT IS A HOT POTATO BETWEEN ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT.

NOT TALKING ABOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, IMMIGRATION IS A FEDERAL ISSUE.

LET'S BLAME GOVERNOR ABBOTT IN TEXAS AND OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY THAT ARE BUSTING THEM HERE, NOT INCIDENTAL DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION IS HERE NEXT YEAR, MORE AND MORE BUSES COMING EVERY DAY PRACTICALLY.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN OTHER WAYS, THINK OF BOSNIANS THAT CAME HERE 25 OR 30 YEARS AGO, SOMALIS, SPREAD OUT INTO CITIES THAT NEED WORKERS , WHICH CHICAGO ALSO DOUBT, BY THE WAY.

ALSO INTO CITIES WHERE THERE IS LOWER COST OF LIVING.

WICHITA, KANSAS IS OFFERING MONEY TO MIGRANT TO COME TO THEM.

WHAT IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DURING DETERMINING WHERE'S THE BEST PLACE TO RESETTLE PEOPLE ?

IT IS A LITTLE MORE IMPLICATED BECAUSE THESE ARE NOT REFUGEES, THEY ARE ASYLUM-SEEKERS.

THEY HAVE MIGRANTS SEEKING ASYLUM.

THEY ARE FREE , MANY OF THEM TO WORK FINALLY.

AT LEAST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

>> BIDEN AUTHORIZING WORK PERMITS FOR VENEZUELANS.

>> THE FACT THAT BOGGLES MY MIND WHEN I CAUGHT IT, SOME OF THE FEDERAL RELIEF MONEY THAT WENT TO TEXAS WAS USED TO BUS THESE PEOPLE HERE, WHICH IS INSANE AND THE MONEY THAT HAS GONE TO TEXAS SO FAR DWARFED THE FEDERAL MONEY THAT HAS COME TO CHICAGO.

THERE IS AND DISCREPANCY ON ALL LEVELS.

>> THE DETAILS OF THE CONTRACT, TALKING ABOUT THE SAME COMPANY, VERTICALLY INTEGRATED, MAKING MONEY MOVING .

CLARIFY, TALK ABOUT GARDAWORLD, THE CITY STRUCK TENTATIVE AGREEMENT WITH FOR $39 TO BUILD THESE TENT CITIES.

THAT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED MOVING SOME OF THE MIGRANTS.

THEY ARE ONE OF THE FEW FIRMS THAT CAN DO THIS WORK IF YOU WANT SOMEBODY TO MOVE LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE FROM ONE STATE TO THE OTHER, YOU GO TO FRONTS LIKE THIS AND THEY HAVE THE EXPERTISE TO BUILD THESE WINTERIZED BASE CAMPS AS THE MAYOR SAID.

THIS IS THE ISSUE THAT OPENED UP A BREACH BETWEEN THE JOHNSON ADMINISTRATION, THE PRITZKER ADMINISTRATION.

WORKING LOCKSTEP VERY WELL TOGETHER UNLIKE THE GOVERNOR'S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORI LIGHTFOOT ADMINISTRATION.

WHEN THE GOVERNOR SAID I DON'T THINK THESE CANCER THE RIGHT THING TO DO, THAT OPENED UP THIS SORT OF BREACH THAT WE HEARD THE ANGER FROM CARLOS RAMIREZ ROSA.

WE ARE ALL HANDS ON DECK TRYING TO CARE FOR THESE PEOPLE.

HOW DO YOU CRITICIZE THE BEST OF THE BAD OPTIONS WE SETTLED ON?

>> ANDRES VASQUEZ SAYS I DON'T LIKE THIS.

COULD OBTAIN THE BASE CAMP DEAL?

IT IS POSSIBLE BUT THERE ARE NO OPTIONS AT THE MOMENT.

ONE OF THE EXPLANATIONS TODAY WAS IT TAKES TOO LONG FOR OUR PROCUREMENT SYSTEM TO ALLOW US TO DO ANYTHING ELSE, WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT SYSTEM BUT RIGHT NOW EIGHT BUSES CAME TODAY.

SOMETHING LIKE SIX OR SEVEN CAME YESTERDAY.

THEY ARE COMING EVERY DAY NOW.

>> IT IS A PROBLEM.

THEY SAY IT IS A TERRIBLE CHOICE.

IT WAS A STARTLING ADMISSION.

THERE MAY BE FEW CHOICES BUT THIS CHOICE, THAT COMPANY WAS REJECTED BY DENVER.

THAT COMPANY MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE ONE THAT IS UP TO THE TASK.

TO SAY THAT HASTE IS THE REASON FOR THIS WASTE AND INEFFICIENCY WHEN THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN PERCOLATING FOR A YEAR , I DON'T KNOW.

LET'S BE HONEST, WHAT PRITZKER IS SAYING ABOUT THAT TENT CITIES, DO ANY OF US THINK THESE TENTS, WILL THESE PEOPLE SURVIVED THE ENTIRE WINTER IN CHICAGO FROM THOSE TENTS, PEOPLE FROM EQUATORIAL COUNTRIES?

>> THEY ARE DESCRIBED AS BEING WINTERIZED.

GLAMPING.

>> 70 DEGREES .

>> WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY WILL GO.

ONE PROPOSED LOCATION AND BACKUP COMMUNITY PUSHBACK.

SO MANY QUESTIONS.

>> DENVER , SUPPOSEDLY SANCTUARY CITY , THEY'RE SENDING PEOPLE HERE.

THEY ARE NOT KEEPING ANYBODY.

>> MAKE CHICAGO NO LONGER SANCTUARY CITY.

IT IS UP TO COUNCIL >> THAT WILL NOT GO ANYWHERE.

>> THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT GOVERNOR ABBOTT WANTED.

INFIGHTING, IT IS LIKE PITTING BLACK VERSUS BROWN.

>> IT ABSOLUTELY IS.

VERY CLEAR TO SEE NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE WOODLAWN, SEPARATE FOR DECADES , TO SEE THIS INFLUX, MILLIONS OF DOLLARS LITERALLY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE THEY DON'T THINK ALONG HERE, FRANKLY.

IT IS HEARTBREAKING FOR PEOPLE IN THAT COMMUNITY.

>> HAVE TO MOVE ON, TODAY , INVESTIGATED ALLEGATIONS WITH COPS ENGAGE WITH SEXUAL MISCONDUCT WITH MIGRANTS.

ALLEGED EARLIER THIS SUMMER, THEY FOUND NO JUSTIFIABLE EVIDENCE .

IS AT THE END OF THE STORY?

>> I THINK IT IS.

OBVIOUSLY, THERE WILL BE PEOPLE UPSET ABOUT IT.

THEY BASICALLY SAID THAT WE INVESTIGATED, WE HAVE NOT FOUND SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO WARRANT ANY CHARGES SO THERE WILL BE NO CHARGES, NO ACCUSATIONS.

>> ANOTHER POLICE ISSUE , TWO OFFICERS CHARGED WITH UNJUSTIFIED SHOOTING BY OFFICERS OF UNARMED MAN.

THEY WERE FOUND NOT GUILTY.

WHAT ARE THE CIRCUMSTANCES?

>> THE JUDGE RULED THE TWO OFFICERS REASONABLY CONSIDERED THEM AND THAT THEY FIRED AT HAD A WEAPON SO THEY WERE JUSTIFIED FIRE AT HIM.

IT TURNED OUT THE MAN DID NOT HAVE A WEAPON.

ESSENTIALLY, HE SAYS THAT THE STATE ATTORNEY HAD NOT PROVEN THEIR CASE.

THIS IS ONE IN NUMBER OF INSTANCES WHERE OFFICERS CHARGED WITH WRONGDOING BY THE STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE ASKED FOR A BENCH TRIAL.

NOT A JURY, JUST A JUDGE AND ACQUITTED OFFICER ACCUSED OF KILLING A TWO IN PARK RIDGE, MY HOMETOWN.

HE WAS ACQUITTED BY A JUDGE.

THERE WAS THAT SITUATION A COUPLE YEARS AGO WHERE THERE WAS OFFICER IN THE REDLINE WHO SHOT SOMEBODY, SHE WAS ACQUITTED BY A JUDGE.

IT IS CLEAR, REPORTERS AFTERWARD, IT IS NOT COINCIDENTAL.

IT IS MUCH HARDER TO CONVINCE A JURY AN OFFICER DID NOT ACT INAPPROPRIATELY THAN IT APPEARS TO BE A JUDGE.

>> BENCH TRIAL MUCH GREATER SUCCESS RATE FOR DEFENDANTS.

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF PAYOUTS FROM THE GREAT INVESTIGATIVE REVIEW EXPOSING WIDESPREAD SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE PARK DISTRICT, LIFEGUARDS, THE COVER UP OF IT.

HOW MUCH IS THE CITY ON THE HOOK FOR?

>> JUST THE BEGINNING, 1.9 MILLION FOR THE THREE LIFEGUARDS SO FAR.

THEY APPROVED AT BOARD MEETINGS I THINK WE SETTLED WITH JANE TO, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

THEY DID NOT SAY SEXUAL MISCONDUCT AGAINST LIFEGUARDS.

PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST , THERE'S ANOTHER CASE PENDING IN COOK COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT.

I WOULD BET IT IS NOT THE LAST ONE.

>> WE HAVE TO GET TO THE GOOD NEWS HAPPENING IN CHICAGO SPORTS.

MATT SPIEGEL, THE BEARS.

41-10, SEEMS LIKE IT WAS NOT THAT CLOSE.

THEY TOOK OUT PATRICK MAHOMES AND TOOK THEIR FOOT OFF THE GAS AT THE END.

HOW MUCH WORSE WILL IT GET FOR THIS TEAM ?

>> THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.

HERE'S THE THING, THE FIRST FEW GAMES IT WAS ON JUSTIN FIELDS.

THIS THIRD GAME SEEMS TO BE MOSTLY ON THE COORDINATOR .

THAT MEANS EVERYTHING IS A PROBLEM.

YOU HAVE A REAL DISASTER ON YOUR HAND, MIGHT BE THE WORST TEAM IN THE NFL.

>> THEY WERE LAST YEAR.

>> HAVE NOT WON GAME IN 3 TO 42 DAYS.

WHEN THAT IS THE CASE, EVERYONE IN THE BUILDING STARTS TO FEEL LIKE A LOSER WHETHER THEY ARE OR NOT AND THAT CAN LEAD TO THINGS GETTING WORSE.

THE GAME THIS WEEKEND AGAINST 0-3 DENVER BRONCO'S IS A CALEB WILLIAMS BOWL BY SOME , HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER EXPECTED TO BE NUMBER ONE PICK UP THE DRAFT.

HARD TO IMAGINE FAN BASE AND TEAM AND THE CITY OR RADIO STATION LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING THAT AGAIN.

SCOUTING ANOTHER QUARTERBACK.

>> CAN WE GET TAYLOR SWIFT TO COME TO THIS GAME?

IS SHE DATING ANYONE ON THE BRONCOS?

>> SUCH A MARKETING PLOY BUT EVERYONE TOOK ADVANTAGE.

THE NFL, KANSAS CITY CHIEFS , AT THE TOP OF THIS IS THE GENERAL MANAGER ONLY IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SECOND YEAR, RYAN POLES BUT ISN'T THIS KIND OF EMERGENCY SITUATION, YOU WAS CAP MONEY TO SPEND, NUMBER ONE PICK UP THE TRUCK AND YOU GOT WORSE?

>> I SUSPECT HE IS NOT AFRAID OF THE DOUBLE.

TWO YEAR BACKTRACK BECAUSE HE REFERENCED IT BEFORE HE CAME HERE.

>> WHY DID IT TAKE TWO YEARS TO TANK?

>> BUY SOME TIME AND THIS QUARTERBACK IS NOT HIS, HE INVESTED IN THE OFFENSE TO GIVE THE QUARTERBACK A CHANCE.

HE WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO HAVE HIS OWN QUARTERBACK AND MAYBE A SECOND HEAD COACH.

THAT COULD HAPPEN AS SOON AS NEXT -- >> LOOK AT IS DRAFT PICK SO FAR, FREE-AGENT SIGNINGS, NAME ONE PLAYER THAT STOOD OUT AS SUPER ALL-PRO PLAYER.

I CAN'T.

TODAY, ONCE AGAIN THEY LOST CHASE CLAYPOOL TRADE.

THEY WILL LOSE THAT EVERYDAY.

GAVE UP SECOND-ROUND PICK FOR WIDE RECEIVER WHO IS A DISASTER.

HE WILL GET A LITTLE TIME IN SPACE UNLESS KEVIN WARREN, THE NEW PRESIDENT HASN'T BEEN TO SAY.

>> THAT IS A THING, KEVIN WARREN IS THIS PRESIDENT AND CEO, DOES HE ASSERT HIMSELF, I'M IN CHARGE, THIS CAN'T STAND WITH THIS ORGANIZATION, WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

>> I THOUGHT WHAT RYAN POLES DID WAS CLEVER INVESTMENT IN JUSTIN FIELDS.

TWO FIRST-ROUND PICKS INCLUDING THE ONE FROM CAROLINA WHICH IS INSURANCE AGAINST FIELD.

THERE'S NO WAY THIS CONVERSATION DID NOT HAPPEN WITH KEVIN WARREN.

JUST AS BAD , WE MAY HAVE TO PIVOT TO LOSING OR NOT PRIORITIZING WINNING ON THE FIELD AND SET OURSELVES UP FOR NEXT YEAR.

I BET KEVIN IS ON BOARD WITH THAT, THAT IS MY GUT.

>> LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT THE CUBS.

WHAT WENT WRONG DOWN THE STRETCH ?

>> IT IS REALLY SAD BECAUSE THEY PLAYED SO CLEAN AND SO SMART ALL YEAR.

THE LAST THREE WEEKS IN BONAPARTE AND THE DEFENSE IS A PROBLEM.

NOTHING HURTS A MANAGER MORE THAN A BAD BULLPEN.

THEY DON'T HAVE ANYBODY HE CAN TRUST AND IT HURTS THE PLAYERS, THE PLAYERS, EVERYBODY STARTS TO LOOK AT THE LINEUP CARD AND THINK ABOUT, DO WE HAVE ENOUGH RUNS, DO WE NEED MORE RUNS, GET A LITTLE BIT TIGHTER WHEN YOU CAPTURE ANYONE IN THE BULLPEN.

THAT IS THE LEGACY OF WHY IT WON'T WORK.

>> FANS ARE TURNING TO THE BLACKHAWKS.

CONNOR BEDARD IS A PHENOM.

CAN ONE PHENOM MAKE A PRETTY BACTINE COMPETITIVE?

>> NOT RIGHT AWAY BUT HE IS FUN TO WATCH.

THAT FIRST PRESEASON GAME, WATCHING THE HIGHLIGHT REEL, HE DOES SPECIAL THINGS ALREADY HIS FIRST PRESEASON GAME EVER, HE WILL SET PEOPLE UP WITH A CHANCE TO SUCCEED.

THEY WILL BE GOOD BEFORE LONG, MAYBE NOT THIS YEAR BUT SOON.

>> DAN MIHALOPOULOS WANTS TO KNOW WHEN HE GOES TO WATCH THE PLAYER PLAY MIAMI ON WEDNESDAY, WILL LEONEL MESSY PLATE ?

>> I DON'T THINK SO.

IS NOT PLAYED IN A WHILE, IT IS DATED DAY.

THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE HIGHEST GROSSING GAME BECAUSE A LOT OF MLS STADIUMS, SMALLER SOCCER SPECIFIC STADIUMS WITH 20,000 , THIS IS THE HIGHEST GROSSING TICKET REVENUE.

MIGHT CHEAP SEATS WERE 175 BUCKS, MY LIFE -- WIFE IS LEARNING ABOUT IT THIS WAY.

>> RAISED THE SALARY OF EVERY EMPLOYEE IN THAT LEAGUE.

THIS IS FACT.

AND HE IS GETTING A PIECE OF TELEVISION PACKAGES FROM APPLE HAS TRANSFORMED SPORTS MEDIA AND PLAYER EMPOWERMENT.

>> HE DOES NOT PLAY FOR CHICAGO, WATCH OUT FOR DAN.

>> APOLOGIZED ALL THE SOCCER FENCES HOLDOUT THAT STADIUM, CRAIG DELLIMORE, WE SHOULD GET TO NATIONAL NEWS.

I'M SURE THE NATIONAL BROADCAST WILL TALK ABOUT THIS, THE SHUTDOWN PRETTY MUCH FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IN THE CARDS.

>> ALMOST IN THE CARDS.

WE HAVE SEEN CONGRESS POLLITT OUT AT THE LAST MINUTE.

THE BIG THING IS, WILL IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES?

PROBABLY NOT IMMEDIATELY.

IF IT GOES ON MORE THAN A WEEK, I THINK YOU WILL START TO SEE SOME EFFECT.

>> WILL GET TO MORE OF THAT, WE ARE OUT OF TIME FOR OUR THANKS TO CRAIG DELLIMORE, MATT SPIEGEL, HEATHER CHERONE, DAN MIHALOPOULOS.

CATCH THAT THE WEEK IN REVIEW FRIDAY NIGHT AT 7:00 AND STREAMING ANY TIME.

YOU CAN ALSO WATCH AT 5:30.

I AM PARIS SCHUTZ.

THANKS FOR WATCHING.

STAY HEALTHY AND SAFE.

STAY TUNED FOR CHICAGO TONIGHT FEATURING BLACK VOICES.

HARD-LINERS YOU WANT TO HATE, WRITTEN YOUR SPEAKERSHIP OR CAREENED TOWARD THE CLIFF ?

>> CANNOT GET TO THE SENATE SO IT DOES NOT WORK EITHER.

>> THE SPEAKERSHIP HAS BEEN ON THE LINE FROM THAT CRAZY WEEK OF UNPRECEDENTED CLOWN CAR WE SAW WHEN HE BECAME THE SPEAKER.

>> THAT IS THE TECHNICAL POLITICAL TERM FOR IT.

>> EXPECTED IT WOULD COME TO THIS.

>>> CLOSED CAPTIONING IS MADE POSSIBLE BY ROBERT CLIFFORD AND CLIFFORD LAW OFFICES.
