Laquan McDonald death: Officers lied about US teenager's shooting

Three former or current Chicago police officers have been charged with allegedly conspiring to cover up the fatal police shooting of a black teen.

Detective David March and officers Joseph Walsh and Thomas Gaffney face charges of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and official misconduct.

Laquan McDonald was shot 16 times by a white officer in 2014, sparking widespread protests across the city.

Prosecutors accuse the three men of lying in the shooting's aftermath
.
"The indictment makes clear that these defendants did more than merely obey an unofficial 'code of silence,' rather it alleges that they lied about what occurred to prevent independent criminal investigators from learning the truth," Special Prosecutor Patricia Brown said in a statement on Tuesday.
Officer Jason Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder in 2015 after dashcam footage appeared to show him fatally shooting Mr McDonald as he moved away from officers, contradicting police accounts. He has pleaded not guilty.

Mr March, the lead detective, left the department after a damning report by the city's Inspector General Joseph Ferguson he made false statements about the shooting.

The Chicago Police Department has also moved to fire Mr Walsh, who was Mr Van Dyke's partner at the time of the incident.

Police released the dashcam footage in November 2015 after Mayor Rahm Emanuel's administration fought to withhold the video for a year before a judge ordered its release.

The long-delayed footage prompted public backlash and mass protests, culminating with the dismissal of the police chief and a Justice Department investigation into the Chicago Police Department's use of force and practices.

Shot 16 times? FFS Americashire have the copper charged with wasting 15 perfectly good other niggers bullets.

In a word - NEXT.

This is nothing, a few years ago cops fired off 41 rounds to apprehend a guy with a knife. Calculate the odds of an innocent bystander getting maimed or killed. They are not heroes, most of the are cowards. They joined the "force" because they were bullied in school. There are exceptions of course.

They shot an old guy laying in his fucking bed.

They told a Black guy who was looking for something IN HIS OWN CAR to freeze and then said to put his hands where they could see the and shot him for moving.

None of these cops were busted for anything, if nothing else they got a couple of weeks off with pay. That is how it works here kid, and if you don't get it you have no fucking right to say a god damn word about it. That is how we live, and that is how some of us die. We are used to it.

Why is that so hard for you to understand ?

T^T
