I'm sure that $5 million will be spent wisely.

The mayor said he hadn't seen the police dashboard-cam video of the shooting, which allegedly shows Officer Jason Van Dyke firing 16 rounds into Laquan McDonald, 17, many of them as he lay prone on a Southwest Side street in October 2014.

Start the Chicago riots.

It honestly won't matter what the video shows. The outcome could be exactly the way the protestors want and they will still riot

If what people are saying about this video is true even I couldn't defend the police here. Everyone seems to be spooked about this one to be honest. The family even said they don't want it released because they don't want to see their neighborhood burned.

The video, without sound, is said to show Laquan McDonald, a 17-year-old African-American reportedly with PCP in his system, holding a small knife. He was shot to death by a white Chicago police officer, Jason Van Dyke, on the night of Oct. 20, 2014, at 41st and Pulaski on the Southwest Side.
City officials said police, responding to a call of a man slashing tires, followed McDonald carefully and calmly as he wandered. They called for backup and Tasers. Then McDonald walked out onto Pulaski Road.
Only one cop opened fire, shooting 16 times in all, and the video is said to show the rounds hitting McDonald in the back, the legs, arms, neck and head, the bullets making the body jump again and again.

The cops already erased one video from a nearby restaurant showing some of the lead up.

I am certainly withholding judgement until all facts are known.
My question is: Why are we just now hearing about this if it happened over a year ago?

The city has been fighting a legal battle to keep the video from being released. I believe last week a judge issued his final ruling that it has to be released and the city could not appeal any more. I guess Rahm Emanuel had enough and agreed.

That's how quickly the justice system operates.

I don't care what is on that video, there is no way in hell that something like that should be withheld by the government.
Those cameras are there for the public's safety as well as the cops' safety.
Let the city burn. Hopefully some more criminals will be shot dead. Let the world burn because right now it isn't a very nice place to live.

Wut? Dude was supposedly shot in cold blood and I'm not cop apologist.Posted on 11/23/15 at 7:39 pm to PuntBamaPunt
People always talk about supporting police/ not supporting police. That's silly to me. I know plenty of LE who are just as up in arms when a cop does something stupid. It's like complaining about all accountants when one of them is corrupt

If the city paid the money, did they just lose a civil case?
Did Van Dyke go down for anything?
