Chicago police union wants Rep. Rush to retract claim that it's the 'sworn enemy of black people'
[FOX] HICAGO ‐ The head of Chicago's police union demanded Wednesday that Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., retract his weekend assertion that it's "the sworn enemy of black people."

Chicago Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7 President Kevin Graham said Rush's comment was "wholly baseless and is in fact a slanderous remark which meets the textbook legal definition of defamation."

Rush, 72, made the comments after an April 1 demonstration by members of the union protesting the decision by Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx to drop charges against "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett.

Smollett has been accused of faking a hate crime against himself. Foxx has denied claims that Smollett, who is back and gay, received special treatment from her office, and she has ignored calls by various critics to resign.
