1) Filed a false report
2) Faked a 'hate crime'... which divides the nation
3) He faked a crime that will lead others to be doubted in the future because of bullshit like his
4) He wasted valuable resources in Chicago in the time and money spent investigating his fraud
5) he is a complete asshole for doing this.

Johnson goes on GMA to ‘ensure record gets set straight’ on Smollett case
Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson said Monday on “Good Morning America” that he gave “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett every benefit of the doubt that he was the victim of an actual hate crime.
“I refused to let CPD characterize him as a suspect unless we had concrete evidence,” Johnson told GMA anchor Robin Roberts.
“The entire time that we investigated the incident he was treated like a victim,” Johnson said.
Johnson said that only after finding overwhelming evidence to the contrary did he take the unusual step of publicly debunking Smollett’s story, which had weighed heavy on a city with it’s own racial baggage.
“The city of Chicago has its issues, the Chicago Police Department has its issues with racism and excessive force and all of that, and I’m acutely aware of that. But we didn’t earn this particular incident and I just refuse to let us have to take that shot if I have evidence to the contrary. So I just want people to understand that it’s a damaging thing to do to a city and to a police department, so it’s my responsibility to ensure that the record gets set straight.”

Chicago police say they have more evidence Jussie Smollett staged hate crime
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson claimed that there is a slew of evidence that "Empire" star Jussie Smollett staged his own hate crime.
"Let me just put this out there first and foremost right now that he still has the presumption of innocence until he has his day in court," Johnson told host Robin Roberts on "Good Morning America" Monday.
Johnson reiterated that Smollett, 36, described the Jan. 29 incident as a hate crime and that the Chicago police treated it as such. Johnson noted that even though the actor said his two alleged attackers were masked, Smollett "was able to say he'd seen around their eyes that at least one was white-skinned."
"The entire time we investigated the incident he was treated like a victim," Johnson added.

I want to see how Smollett's going to explain away the video evidence that the Police used to track down and find the brothers and how they WERE WHITE??
