Chicago aldermen have approved an ordinance backed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel that will revamp investigations into police shootings and officer misconduct. Alderman Ariel Reboyras says the measure is "far from perfect but it shows we want to move forward."
The approval comes despite critics saying the measure isn't strong enough to keep a close eye on a police force with a reputation for brutality. It will create a new agency to replace the Independent Police Review Authority, which was discredited by long delays in completing investigations that nearly always sided with officers.
