pic.twitter.com/7eMHyYm6eN — Mayor Lori Lightfoot (@chicagosmayor) December 2, 2019WGN reports department leaders weren’t given any advance notice of the superintendent’s dismissal. Lightfoot used Johnson’s firing to call for broad change at the Chicago Police Department and condemned the “old Chicago way” of Johnson’s conduct. “The old Chicago way must give way to the new reality,”she continued. There must be no mistake about the message I’m sending today.” The firing comes just weeks before Johnson’s planned retirement at the end of the year. He announced his retirement last month after serving more than 30 years on the force, nearly four of which he was Chicago’s top cop.
