GUILTY :The Video Of Officer Jason Van Dyke Shooting Laquan McDonald

Ok. Is what it is...
But personally ill stick to judging people one at a time on an individual level. High crime areas exist for sure......not sure what the color of the people residing in them has to do with it.
So you've never met a dumb Asian.....or a smart white person?
I don't play the averages.....I take people one at a time bud.
Why dont you go iron your sheets.......I think they are wrinkled.
I do not deny that racial differences exist. Culture is different as a whole between race groups. However.....assuming all in a race group are alike....be it intelligence, propensity for crime, whatever.......denies the INDIVIDUAL....the right to prove their worth....or lack of worth in society.....I admit cultural differences exist on average but chose and accept that individuals have value.
Based on your comments here is it safe to say that you assume all black people you meet are gang bangers and criminals before you even talk to them or learn about their life?
I'll say it again.....I acknowledge culture is different among racial groups but choose to take each person as individual based on their own merits once I know more about that person.

Second City Cop: Judge Gets it Correct
That blog post has 25 short/readable reader (i.e., CPD street cop) comments so far,
and it links:
Chicago Tribune: Judge acquits 3 Chicago cops of covering up Laquan McDonald's killing, backing police on each disputed point
It's interesting that when the judge rendered her verdict,
it wasn't a gavel bang and "next case" -
she spent an hour outlining her reaction to the believability
of the evidence, and ripping the prosecution a new orifice.
Maybe that's the norm for a big bench trial,
and doubly advisable for a verdict
that might be expected to trigger city-torching riots.
But I see that Jason Van Dyke's sentencing is today.
And the readership of Second City Cop expect they'll throw the book at him.
Just went back and watched the video again. Seriously.... how do the cops who helped cover it up get off free and clear.
Amazes me that people wonder why there is no faith in institutions like the police especially in places like Chicago.

As first responders, shouldn't someone be trying to keep the guy alive? Threat removed, plenty of backup... CPR and stop bleeding type stuff?
Right around the time the cruiser comes in from the front, before 2 more cops exit and barely look at the dead guy, it looks like a pool of blood or something that is quickly blurred for the rest of the video.
16 Rounds seems like a bit much, but it must truly suck to work in the windy city as a cop. could you even imagine it?

WATCH LIVE: Jason Van Dyke sentenced to 6 years, 9 months in prison for Laquan McDonald murder
CHICAGO (WLS) --
Jason Van Dyke, the Chicago police officer convicted of murdering 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, was sentenced to 81 months, or 6 years and 9 months, in prison and two years mandatory supervised release.
Judge Vincent Gaughan said he considered the most serious charge to be the second degree murder charge, not the 16 aggravated battery charges, and made his sentencing decision on that murder charge.
The sentence includes time served.

Seems like the cop lost his mind. I could see if the guy with the knife was coming towards to shoot and drop him. However the shooting when the guy is down was way overboard. In the end he was dealt with and sentenced.

Thin blue line. Had a friend that was a union rep. on the force. The stories he told were just shocking. And the things HE backed people up on "because you have to back his play" was just utterly insane. This was a good man that had no problem setting all that aside because his "fellow officer" needed help.
He was also a big fan of detail work. It was unsafe otherwise. Apparently, we are more moronic in Mass than the other 49 states that have laws allowing flagmen. (flagpeople???)
