"Family of Laquan McDonald, man fatally shot by Chicago police officer, release statement on upcoming release of video evidence: 'We ask for calm in Chicago. No one understands the anger more than us but if you choose to speak out, we urge you to be peaceful. Don't resort to violence in Laquan's name. Let his legacy be better than that' - @WBBMNewsradio"

White cop, black fatality.

Sounds like the cop screwed up on this one. That being said, this pos that is rotting 6ft under currently was high on pcp and had a knife. Of course, only the cops used bad judgement...

None of the facts or law will matter when Lootie shows up after dark.

"Dash cam video of Chicago police officer shooting Laquan McDonald in 2014 to be released after 4:30 pm CT news conference, local media reports - @dodgerman"

The Officer is being charged with 1st degree murder.

Why riot? He is being charged.

IDOTS. Even the family of the kid does not want it released.

Liberal reporter sued to have it released.
Shot 16 times with two being in the back.
Parents of victim received 5 mil and had not even filed a lawsuit. I guess there are not enough murders in Chicago as it is, so this will probably increase the number.

16 times for God sake! People white and black should be pissed off about this one... Regardless of the circumstances. I could kill and ISIS thug and I wouldn't need to shoot the POS 16 TIMES!

Aldeer Disclaimer: Yes, the pres is an idiot. Yes, Chitown is a chithole. Yes, looters are bad.

It was cold blooded murder by the policeman...no other way to put it.

The cop should get the death penalty.

I just watched the video and it is bad for the police officer. He is going to jail for a long time.

Many times i can understand a cop shooting all in his clip.
In the heat of the moment I don't think they realize how many times they have fired until the clip is empty. In alot of cases a person is hit many times in non lethal areas and keeps coming. Not this time tho.

There is nothing in that video to justify that officer firing ONE shot, much less 16.

Are officers trained to unload a full clip into a subject if deadly force is determined? Just asking.I mean we can all set back and see what happened, although horrible, was this just reaction to training or adrenaline? If so I think sensitive percepions are always going to convict.

I imagine that officer will see the other side of the prison system fairly soon. Not one thing in the video gave him any justification for firing his gun at that kid. Obviously none of the other officers saw a need, just Billy Badass. Pretty sure a taser or two can handle a 3 inch pocket knife, PCP or not.

Looks really bad for the cop. Only thing I wonder is if he made a motion with his left hand toward his pocket after possibly being given an order. Perhaps that lack of compliance triggered something in the cop. As far as the prolonged shooting after he's lying on the ground, not sure what on earth that's about.

Stare down with cop on fox during this protest .. That cop needs to be able to pistol whip that punk .

Saw that too, no way this is gonna go peaceful, it ain't in the spooks. I agree that shooting was not justified, and the cop had no reason to shoot whatsoever, he murdered the guy cold blooded. Even though he may have been high, he didn't even come at them.

Yeah I agree he shouldn't have been shot, but all I got to say is Rick and Bubba , Rick and Bubba . This protesting is stupid

He also should have not been high on meth, pcp or whatever he was on. Upstanding citizen I'm sure.
