Willie Wilson: Police Superintendent McCarthy has ‘got to go’

Mayoral candidate Willie Wilson on Thursday said Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy has “got to go.”

While speaking at a City Club of Chicago event, Wilson said that McCarthy has failed to adequately reduce violent crime since coming to Chicago from Newark, New Jersey in 2011. Wilson argued that in order to achieve acceptable reductions in crime, the city needed to promote more native Chicagoans to top Chicago Police Department positions.
