CHICAGO — The Rev. Al Sharpton has a message for the city of Chicago: Do something about police brutality, or he’ll work to ensure that the 2016 Olympics don’t come to Chicago.

Sharpton is demanding that the city show evidence of “concrete steps” to address what he calls “rampant police brutality and misconduct” in the Chicago Police Department.

If it can’t, Sharpton says, he is prepared to lobby the International Olympic Committee to take Chicago’s bid out of consideration for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.
