Chicago cop expected to be indicted for murder in killing of unarmed Black teen Laquan McDonald

via Democracy Now.org today

This would be the FIRST Chicago police officer indicted for first-degree murder for an on-duty killing.

Laquan McDonald was shot 16 times.

As the speakers on DemNow say:
yes, this is a good first step-
but the whole year since his murder on Oct 20, 2014, has been filled with false narratives, and attempts to suppress evidence by the authorities.
