Video of the controversial fatal shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo by a police officer last month will be made public on Thursday, according to the Civilian Office of Police Accountability. COPA released a statement saying the video and other materials would be released after the Toledo family was notified.
The mayor has already raised Lake Shore Drive bridge.

What’s the deal with the bridge?

It’s pretty common for the city to raise the bridges during protests: LINK

Police sought to contain the disturbances by raising many of the iconic bridges over the Chicago River, isolating clusters of protesters who had spread out across downtown and the city’s Near North Side.

Wasn’t this the 13 yr old selling drugs/guns at 2/3 am m that ran from police and pulled a gun?


I love how they always find cute pics of the “victims.”

8 year old Trayvon Martin fought valiantly against the white hispanic with a bag of skittles as his only weapon.

Toledo was with a 21 year old named Roman who had just fired 7 shots point blank at a car. The two ran away together. From the article:

quote:

Roman got off seven or eight shots, and the two quickly fled, Murphy said, Roman taking the lead and Toledo right behind.

A city ShotSpotter device detected the shots, which brought two uniformed Chicago police officers in a marked squad car to the scene in less than a minute. Roman and Toledo cut through an alley together, and police gave chase on foot, Murphy said.

Both of the officers’ body-worn cameras were recording, and one officer tackled Roman as Toledo kept running, the prosecutor said.

Toledo kept running as an officer ordered him to stop, then paused near a break in a wooden fence, Murphy said, and the officer then ordered Toledo to show his hands.

The officer told Toledo “drop it, drop it,” as Toledo turned toward the officer with a gun in his right hand, Murphy said.

The officer fired one shot, hitting Toledo in the chest.
The gun he was holding landed a few feet away and was recovered, Murphy said.


Sounds like a justified shooting. I don't care if he was 13. An armed 13 year old running around after having just been part of an attempted murder is a danger.

Bridge separates white Chicago from black Chicago.


Only in the South do the races mix. The liberals in the North who lecture the South about equity live in segregated cities.

Read an article about how the mayor essentially called Adam a lonely youth seduced by gang members. The family then fires back about how he came from a supportive community and close-knit family. As tragic as this is, why the hell was a 13 year old running the streets at 2:30?
