The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) responded to the op-ed with the following statement:
The FOP believes the article barely merits a response; it makes so little sense. The article is, to us, a desperate attempt to justify a complete breakdown of her office to fulfill its obligations.
The CPD concluded, after an exhaustive investigation, that Mr. Smollett faked a hate crime. A grand jury returned a 16-count indictment. It is Ms. Foxx’s duty to prosecute this crime. She refused to do so. Her refusal to do so has generated national condemnation by the public, elected officials, and even members of her own profession. Questions must be answered about Ms. Foxx’s conduct in this case. We have asked for a federal investigation and are being told that one is underway. For this, we are very grateful.
As we have said time and again, this is not the first time we have alleged misconduct against Ms. Foxx. Indeed, we have condemned in particular her decision to drop murder convictions in cases that her predecessor, Anita Alvarez, upheld. We have also asked that federal authorities review her decision to vacate two felony convictions against Spanish Cobra Ricardo Rodriguez, whose fellow gang members have recently been convicted of murdering a Chicago Police Officer.
Unfortunately, the local media has also refused to address our complaints about Ms. Foxx.
We believe that Ms. Foxx should immediately resign her position.
What we have here is a State's Attorney who believes it is her moral obligation to constantly obstruct and work against the police. She is the attorney for the state not the attorney for the criminals.
Its too bad she is so confused. She should be the public defender instead.
