Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Cook County State Attorney Kim Foxx are at war over a gang shooting last week.

Chicago cops witnessed the shooting. Surveillance cameras caught it on tape:

Quote
    Chicago Police said around 10:30 a.m. Friday, 25th (Grand Central) District tactical officers responded to a call of a man with a gun near Potomac and Mason avenues. When they arrived on the scene, they saw four people get out of two cars in front of a home in the 1200 block of North Mason Avenue, and start shooting at the house.

    People inside the home returned fire, shooting one of the attackers, as other assailants fled the scene in the two vehicles.

    The assailant who was shot was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Two people who were wounded inside the home also went to the hospital, but their conditions were not available.

Police took five people into custody. They left after Foxx refused to press charges.

Do not forget that Foxx is the one who let off Jussie Smollett after he faked a hate crime in Chicago. Yes. THAT Kim Foxx.

No doubt a pack of crackas fighting over moon pies and budweiser.

Foxx looks to be like that St. Louis County DA and the State's Attorney for Baltimore, racialized and politicized.

One of several county prosecutors elected with the financial backing of George Soros.

Isn't there any method available for removing such non-performing DA's and state's attorneys for malfeasance?

Can the governor, or state attorney general fire them or at least restrict their duties?

AFAIK, the one constitutional mechanism in California is the recall process. I doubt any state gives that kind of potentially caprice/politics-driven power to a Governor.
