Chicago prosecutor loses her fight with Black Lives Matter

[NCTraveler]

While most of the focus of Tuesday night's primaries was on the battle for the White House, something extraordinary occurred in two local elections. Both Chicago's Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez and Timothy McGinty, the Cuyahoga Prosecuting Attorney in Ohio, lost their bids for re-election.

1. The elected position of county DA is so important, way more than most realize.

The DA can sculpt an area to reflect his or her racist views or liberal non racist views.

The DA can really make or break the fabric of trust people have and the way they look to non residents.

Read her actions before she was holding the Laquan case back
She really had to go . Long overdue

It was really her handling of the Laquan McDonald shooting that caused her loss.

4. Bye Anita!

Rahm is next on the list, he shouldn't have been re-elected in the first place.
