Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson was just ordered to kneel before the God of Chicago Barry Obama, and was slapped in the face with his manhood. And on the front page of every news outlet.
I wonder if that stings?
Here's an artist's depiction:

I honestly think this has damaged his career for ever.
The legal system may have been abused and distorted, but the truth is, people won't forget this.
Smollett won't be able to get a walk-on role in the next "Sharknado" film, much less anything of merit.
He is tainted goods. He's "box-office" poison.
He'll always be the fake guy who used political pressure to save his sorry ass.

can you imagine if this was the catalyst that takes down Obama and his thugs?
Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Saturday evening that: "We can confirm that the information received from the individuals questioned by police earlier in the Empire case has in fact shifted the trajectory of the investigation. We've reached out to the Empire cast member's attorney to request a follow-up interview."
The men were picked up by officers at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Wednesday after returning to the city from their native country of Nigeria. On Thursday, police served a search warrant at their home.
Smollett told Abel Osundairo during that call that the attack should be carried out at 2 a.m. at an already scouted location near the actor’s home, Lanier said. Minutes later, Ola Osundairo hailed the Uber and the brothers started making their way to the crime scene.
Less than 18 hours after the incident, Smollett and Abel Osundairo traded brief phone calls, Lanier said. The brothers then boarded a flight for their overseas trip. The next day, Smollett made a nearly 9-minute call to Abel in Turkey, Lanier said.
this whole outcome is beyond insignificant.
The second episode of “Empire” after the arrest of one of its stars, Jussie Smollett, was the lowest rated in the series’ history.
The March 20 episode scored a 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demo, and was watched by just under 4 million total viewers. Last week’s midseason premiere also struggled, with a 1.3 rating and 4.4 million viewers, which means the show dipped by 11% in the ratings and 10% in total viewership since last week.
While that isn’t as bad as the 17% ratings and 13% viewership dip from the show’s final episode of 2018 to the midseason premiere, last night’s episode was still down on the previous “Empire” ratings low, which came on Halloween 2018, when the show had a 1.2 rating and 4.2 million viewers.

In the grand scheme of things, when you consider all the injustices that occur in the world on a daily basis... this whole outcome is beyond insignificant.

Sure, endeavoring to instigate a race war is beyond insignificant
It'd just be a question of which straw it'll be that breaks the camel's back.
