Chance the Rapper slams Emanuel plan to build $95 million police training academy
Chance the Rapper appeared at the City Council meeting Wednesday to slam Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s plan to build a new $95 million police training academy in West Garfield Park, according to the Tribune. Emanuel left before the Grammy Award-winning rapper spoke during the 30-minute public comment allotment. Chance urged the aldermen to use the money to build schools or help the mentally ill instead because “there’s a lot of ways to transform the city that don’t have anything to do with police training.” [Tribune]
