Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson, with noticeable frustration in his voice, used similar logic to urge people to share their opinions on a proposed overhaul of the department's use of force policy.

"I have to emphasize that if you don't comment on it - and you don't look at it, and you don't comment on it - then don't be upset with the policy that's put in place because you didn't help craft it," Johnson said Tuesday at a breakfast at the Union League Club.

Johnson announced the yet-to-be finalized draft in October, along with a 45-day window in which public comments would be accepted. The window shuts on Dec. 5.
