Mayor Daley issues sarcastic apology for torture of African-American by Chicago Police Commander Jon Burge

The Chicago Sun-Times reports on Mayor Daley:
Mayor Daley on Thursday issued a sarcastic blanket apology for the alleged torture of suspects by former Chicago Police Lt. Jon Burge.

"The best way is to say, 'Okay. I apologize to everybody [for] whatever happened to anybody in the city of Chicago.' So, I apologize to everybody. Whatever happened to them in the city of Chicago in the past, I apologize. I didn't do it, but somebody else did it. Your editorial was bad. I apologize.Your article about the mayor, I apologize. I need an apology from you because you wrote a bad editorial," Daley said, laughing.

"You do that and everybody feels good. Fine. But I was not the mayor. I was not the police chief. I did not promote him. You know that. But you've never written that and you're afraid to. I understand."

Attorney Flint Taylor, who has spent the last 21 years representing alleged torture victims, was outraged by the mayor's remarks.

"It is disgraceful and remarkably disrespectful to say that when he's asked to make good on an apology to the victims of the most heinous kind of police abuse and torture in the history of Chicago," Taylor said.
Mayor Daley doesn't seem to care about domestic terrorists.Witness his close association with this domestic terrorist.The media sure have high standards,calling Mayor Daley a "good Mayor".Is Mayor Daley a supporter of gun control so citizens can't oppose corrupt police officers?
