Resign Rahm: Silent Protester Disrupts Mayor’s Conference, January 20, 2016
http://cbsloc.al/23eYaMdCHICAGO (CBS) — A demonstrator interrupted a meeting of the nation’s mayors, halting a news conference and standing in silence to protest the police shooting of a Chicago teenager.
April Goggans, a member of Black Lives Matter, cut off a speech by Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake at the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Washington, D.C.
She stood in front of Rawlings-Blake, and a dozen other officials, holding a sign that read “16 Shots And A Cover Up, #LaquanMcDonald #ResignRahm.”
Goggans, who is from the Washington, D.C. area, stood in front of the group for about 10 minutes.

More at the link and YMMV but just watching a smirking Rahm and listening to what he had to say as well as other comments and the interview with Mayor Nutter.........I had to fight down hot bile.
