The Chicago police chief who arrested Jussie Smollett for staging a race-baiting attack on himself said Friday that he would have let the actor go free if he’d just apologized and admitted that he was lying early on.
Eddie Johnson, head of the Chicago Police Department in 2019, wouldn’t have pursued charges against the “Empire” actor if he’d simply admitted he’d made it all up, he told “Morning in America.”
“I want people to understand this. This was not the most heinous crime of the century. He didn’t kill anybody. He didn’t blow up a building,” Johnson said.
“We would have been more than happy with just an apology at the end of all that we uncovered but for some reason, he just wanted to keep going down this road that he was actually a victim.”
Smollett was found guilty Thursday on five counts of felony disorderly conduct for filing a false police report claiming he’d been jumped by a pair of racist and homophobic attackers in January 2019.
While on the case, Johnson — who was later fired for misconduct in December 2019 after he was found drunk in a parked patrol car — said he knew quickly that Smollett was lying about being brutalized.
The former top cop said a video showing the actor with a noose hanging around his neck at his home, long after the crime was committed, was the first red flag.
“I have to be honest, when I first saw the video of him in his apartment with the noose around his neck I was concerned because I don’t think there’s many black people in America with a noose around their neck and wouldn’t immediately take it off,” said Johnson, who is also black.
Johnson said police and then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel got fired up about the case because Smollett “stained our city” and wasted police “manpower.”
But he said he still “made it a point” to treat Smollett like a victim until the evidence was undeniable.
Smollett dindu nuffin. Even the former drunken police chief admits that. It's almost like it's his daddy telling the world that he's really a good boy and this was all just a misunderstanding. In fact, if Smollett's dad was black - and not Jewish - I might be inclined to think that perhaps the former drunken police chief could possibly be Smollett's father.
It's amazing how "hate crimes" are such a serious thing until someone fakes them. If someone had actually beat up the gay-mulatto-Jew they would've rotted in prison.
Anyone caught lying about such a serious crime should at minimum face the same punishment.
It's estimated that up to 50% of "hate crime" accusations are false.
The same can be said of rape: 60% of rape accusations are false.
Think about the type of person who would falsely accuse someone of a "hate crime" or rape. Those people are sociopaths and deserve to be incarcerated. Which is exactly what should happen if someone is caught making false accusations. Whatever punishment the falsely accused victim would have received is what the liar should get. Problem solved.
