The Chicago Federation of Police have banded with suburban Cook County police chiefs to issue a no confidence vote against Crook County state's attorney Kim Foxx.

From ABC Chicago:

The Chicago police union and dozens of Cook County police chiefs banded together Thursday to announce a "no confidence" vote in State's Attorney Kim Foxx. The press conference came after her office's controversial decision to drop charges against Jussie Smollett over his alleged staged attack.

They gathered at the FOP headquarters over what they claim is Foxx's mishandling of certain felony cases.

"We cannot stand for this any longer Kim Foxx needs to resign and she should do it quickly," said Kevin Graham, FOP President.

"She's putting criminals back on the street either during the process, not charging then at all or allowing them on the street to commit again," said Steven Stelter, West Suburban Chiefs of Police Association. "Many times the hoops we have to go through to get a felony charge and most of the time they are not approved or charges dismissed in court without an officer's opinion."
