Chicago PD have released body-cam footage showing officers responding to Jussie Smollett's report that he was attacked
In the video, Smollett is asked by police officers if he wants to take the noose off. “I just wanted y’all to see,” Smollett says, then tells the officer that he has also been doused with bleach.
The footage shows the actor roughly 40 minutes after he had called police to report that he had been attacked by two men shouting racist and homophobic slurs at him. Smollett also accused the men of dousing him with bleach and tying a noose around his neck. Smollett was later accused by Chicago police officers of having staged the attack against himself, possibly as a means of reinvigorating his career. Smollett denied the accusations, and has continuously stuck with his story.
In March, Smollett was indicted on 16 counts by a grand jury for allegedly lying to police officers. A few weeks later, however, the charges against Smollett were abruptlyby state attorney Kim Foxx. Foxx’s handling of the case was widely criticized by Chicago police officers, who accused the state attorney of using political connections to Smollett’s benefit.
