editDoes Wikipedia take any action against accounts that revert articles to racist diatribes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:1371:1120:C1BC:8069:64DE:1B02 (talk) 17:02, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
- The racist additions have been reverted and the account warned - continuation will get the accounts blocked. KylieTastic (talk) 17:17, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
Jussie Smollett
editShouldn't there be a mention of her handling of the case? Truthsort (talk) 17:13, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Truthsort, yes there can be if there is a reliable source. However a quick look suggests that people are possibly confusing a decision that came "from the office of the Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx"[1] with it coming from her when she had apparently "recused herself from the case in February"[2] - However that was from a 5 minute search to find out what was causing the spike in vandalism.

- Something like this:
Tchen's actions in contacting Foxx and Foxx's decision to drop the charges against Smollet has led the Fraternal Order of Police in Chicago to request a formal investigation into abuse of power in failing to pursue charges in the Smollet case. [1]
- Recusing herself would have required her to ask the judge to appoint an outside attorney as a special prosecutor. Instead, she merely passed the case to someone on her staff. https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/prosecutor-who-dropped-smollett-case-had-said-she-was-recusing-herself-over-potential-conflict-then-she-didnt/ Therefore, she was still responsible for the decision.Vgy7ujm (talk) 17:37, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
Chicago Police Union and Police Chiefs call for Foxx to Resign
editOn April 4, 2019, Chicago's Fraternal Order of Police and the suburban police chiefs associations voted "no confidence" on a vote concerning Kim Foxx's status as Cook County State's Attorney.[14] They then demanded that Foxx immediately resign.
