PLAYBOOK LIVE Rahm Emanuel: I have no plans to resign 'We have a process called the election. The voters spoke,' the Chicago mayor said to POLITICO, rebuffing calls for his ouster. 
  
 Rahm Emanuel said Wednesday that he would not resign, despite growing criticism for what some are calling his botched response to video footage showing a Chicago police officer last year firing 16 times at Laquan McDonald, who was walking away from officers. 
  
 "No," he said, during one of several testy exchanges through the course of a nearly hour-long discussion with POLITICO's Mike Allen and POLITICO Illinois' Natasha Korecki. "Because I really so much looked forward to this interview and I wanted to have it. I just felt so good saying that to you. We have a process called the election. The voters spoke. I'll be held accountable for the decisions and actions that I make."

 The Chicago mayor is struggling to quell the controversy, and on Tuesday dismissed police Superintendent Garry McCarthy, even though Emanuel still spoke highly of the police chief's record during a press conference. He also appointed a new "police accountability task force." 
  
 While Emanuel and his lawyers have fought for much of the past year to keep the police dashboard video of the October 2014 shooting from public eyes, citing concerns the footage could compromise the investigations into McDonald's death, a Cook County judge's ruling forced the release of the video last week. The outrage was swift, prompting days of protests surrounding the Thanksgiving holiday. 
  
 Speaking at the POLITICO Illinois breakfast event in Chicago on Wednesday, Emanuel declined to entertain the notion that he might not have been reelected had the video been released prior to his April runoff election against Jesús "Chuy" Garcia. 
  
 He struck a defensive tone in explaining why he did not watch the video before its release to the general public, saying there is a balance of two competing principles. 
  
 The first, he said, is the right of the public and the media to see the footage, while the second is to protect the integrity of investigations. 
  
 Asked by Korecki why he would wait until more than a year after the shooting to release the video, Emanuel responded that Korecki is "reflecting the immediacy of cable television." Additionally, he said, the issues plaguing Chicago with respect to the relationship between the police and the communities it serves are not unique to the city, but that the town "has its own history and narrative." 
  
 Emanuel also responded to comments from the office of Cook County State Attorney Anita Alvarez, which told POLITICO Illinois on Tuesday that they did not tell the city to take up a legal fight to keep the video from the public. “They asked us our position in telephone calls — we said it was not our preference to release it, but it was ultimately their decision because of the FOIA,” Alvarez spokeswoman Sally Daly told POLITICO in the report published Wednesday. “We’re not party to the litigation on the FOIA.” 
  
 Emanuel reiterated Wednesday that his only knowledge of details surrounding the video of McDonald's shooting came from testimony from city attorney Stephen Patton delivered in April to the City Council, before the approval of the city's $5 million settlement with the McDonald family. 
  
 “I did not see the tape. I know what happened on the tape based on Steve’s testimony and what he had briefed me on," he said. 
  
 In a sign of the pressure Emanuel is under, the New York Times late Tuesday issued a scathing editorial entitled “The Chicago Police Scandal” in which the paper said, “All along, Mr. Emanuel’s response, either by design or because of negligence, was to do as little as possible — until the furor caused by the release of the video forced his hand. The residents of Chicago will have to decide whether that counts as taking responsibility.” 
  
 Emanuel on Wednesday elaborated on his decision to ask for McCarthy's resignation, saying it had nothing to do with McCarthy's overall performance. 
  
 "Well, as I said yesterday and I've said over the two years, a lot of people over a year asked me, or two years, to fire the superintendent," Emanuel said, noting the department achieved the lowest homicide rate in the last 50 years in 2014 and further reductions in that rate, adding that there has been real progress. 
  
 "He has become the issue rather than dealing with the issue," Emanuel also said, remarking that while he is "loyal" to McCarthy, he is more loyal to the people of the city of Chicago. 
  
 Following Emanuel's announcement, Illinois Attorney Lisa Madigan on Tuesday requested that the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division investigate the city's police department practices. 
  
 "Chicago cannot move ahead and rebuild trust between the police and the community without an outside, independent investigation into its police department to improve policing practices," Madigan wrote. DOJ has said that it will review the request. 
  
 On Wednesday, Emanuel suggested that the city does not need that investigation right now. 
  
 And in addressing why he did not plan to attend the ongoing climate talks in Paris, Emanuel said that it was not the right time, "even though I believe in the issue of climate change. It's current and pressing. It's not in the distance, it's now." 
  
 "I'm not going to go to Paris, I'll deal with the issue appropriately, consistently do what we need here in the city, consistent with what I think is a tough issue, but I'm going to also deal with the issue that's front and center for the city," he said, listing one-on-one interactions with constituents in grocery and department stores in the last week. 
  
 Asked whether he would consider firing any more people, as Rev. Jesse Jackson suggested Tuesday, Emanuel remarked that "this is not the end of the problem but the beginning of the solution." 
  
 Further wrongdoing "hasn't been brought to anybody's attention at this point," he told Allen and Korecki. 
  
  ||||| Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday cancelled his trip to a climate change conference in Paris — and postponed a political fundraiser scheduled for next week — to devote his full attention to the political climate change in Chicago caused by the continuing furor over the Laquan McDonald shooting video. 
  
 After firing Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy on Tuesday, Emanuel said the trip was up in the air. He had not yet decided whether to forge ahead with plans to join President Barack Obama, his former boss, and other world leaders in Paris at a global conference on climate change. 
  
 The remark sounded almost tone-deaf, considering the heat Emanuel has taken for waiting until one week after the April 7 mayoral runoff to ask the City Council to authorize a $5 million settlement to the McDonald family even before a lawsuit had been filed. The mayor has been further criticized for keeping the incendiary video under wraps until last week and releasing it, only after a judge ordered him to do so. 
  
 Overnight, the mayor who promised to listen more and talk less in a second term apparently thought better of it. He cancelled the trip to Paris to do what parochial Chicagoans want their mayor to do in all circumstances, no less during a crisis: Stay home and devote his full attention to solving Chicago’s problems. 
  
 “I’ve worked on the issue of environmental policy and climate change and energy my whole public life. We’ve done a lot here in Chicago. We were the last city with two coal fire power plants. We shut 'em dn. We have probably one of the largest public and private and private retro-fits going on. I’m proud of that record,” the mayor said during a live interview at Politico.com’s “Playbook Breakfast.” 
  
 “That said, obviously this is a challenging time for the city. … It needs sustained effort and part of that sustained effort requires the mayor to be present. … This is not a time for me — even though I believe in the issue of climate change. It’s current and pressing. It’s not in the distance. It’s now — I’m not going to go to Paris….I’m going to deal with the issue that’s front and center for the city.” 
  
 Emanuel said he would spend the time he would have spent in Paris doing what he did last weekend: Going to churches, stores and restaurants on the South Side to allow everyday Chicagoans to talk openly with their mayor without the staged intrusion of microphones and cameras. 
  
 “I wanted to be in the community on the South Side as we’re dealing with some tough challenges — not for images, but to be able have people directly, without anybody around, talk to me and say what they thought. So they felt free to say what they want and I was just there,” he said. 
  
 “I believe in being out and about with the public. I take the train to work twice-a-week so people — not in staged situations — can come up and approach the mayor. I do that — not with the media present so the public doesn’t feel held back — but, with the mayor present, so the public feels they can address me in a more personal way. I’m going to continue to do that through this weekend so I’m out and about talking to people directly, hearing from them, have them directly hear from me and know that I’m listening to what they have to say.” 
  
 The $2,500-a-head political fundraiser was originally scheduled for next week to replenish a campaign war chest with $122,000 in unpaid bills after Emanuel spent a record $24 million to get re-elected — before the furor over the Laquan McDonald video. 
  
 Emanuel had put out the word about the fundraiser the week before the City Council vote on his tax-laden city budget. It was a shot across the bow to those who believe that a second term will be Emanuel’s last—either because he chooses not to seek re-election or because he is unelectable after socking it to Chicago taxpayers. 
  
 The fundraiser has now been rescheduled to a later date, once again to avoid looking crass and tone-deaf. 
  
 David Axelrod, who worked together with Emanuel in the Obama White House, said his friend of 30 years made a wise move on both fronts by cancelling the trip to Paris and putting off the blockbuster fundraiser. 
  
 “Chicago has an obvious and acute challenge. He needs to stay home and meet it. It’s smart for him to stay. The focus should be on the problem here and nothing else,” Axelrod said. 
  
 “This panel he set up needs to produce substantive, meaningful and, hopefully long-lasting reforms. He has a search for a new police chief, a critically important decision. There’s a breach to be healed between community, police and City Hall. There’s plenty of work to be done right here.” 
  
 After firing McCarthy, Emanuel was forced to fend off questions about demands for the mayor’s own resignation. 
  
 Axelrod served as political consultant to Obama and former Mayor Richard M. Daley and Harold Washington. He was asked what Emanuel needs to do to rebuild trust with black voters who helped elect and re-elect him even after he closed a record fifty public schools. 
  
 “The way you rebuild trust is through your actions,” Axelrod said. |||||
Output:
If Rahm Emanuel thought firing his police chief would relieve the pressure on him in Chicago over a police shooting, he learned otherwise Wednesday at a testy breakfast in which he was hit with questions about whether he would resign, reports Politico. "No," was the answer to journalists. "We have a process called the election," he said. "The voters spoke. I'll be held accountable for the decisions and actions that I make." Emanuel is taking heavy criticism over the video showing the death of Laquan McDonald, given that his administration fought to keep it from the public. In a blistering editorial, the New York Times accused the mayor of demonstrating a "willful ignorance" and a "complete lack of comprehension" about the case. "All along, Mr. Emanuel’s response, either by design or because of negligence, was to do as little as possible—until the furor caused by the release of the video forced his hand. The residents of Chicago will have to decide whether that counts as taking responsibility." More fallout: Emanuel canceled a trip to Paris to attend the climate change conference, and he scrapped a fundraiser set for next week, reports the Chicago Sun-Times.
