Chicago police seek federal prosecutions for looters, rioters

Following the destruction and looting of the Magnificent Mile in Chicago, there s been a curious lack of interest in prosecuting the offenders on the part of the Cook County State s Attorney. That would be Kim Foxx, who many of you are likely familiar with from her involvement in the Jussie Smollett fiasco. With few signs that her office is taking the charges seriously or has any intention of holding many of the rioters accountable, the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police sent a letter to U.S. Attorney John R. Lausch Jr. to request prosecution of the rioters on federal charges. But even assuming that the U.S. Attorney s office has the resources to handle all of these cases, it s not yet clear precisely what federal charges would be applicable. (CBS Chicago)
