Chicago (CNN)[Breaking news update at 11:17 a.m. ET]

Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Laquan McDonald, the Cook County State's Attorney announced.

Anger has been simmering for months about the shooting of Laquan McDonald, a black teenager, by a white Chicago police officer. Will it erupt when video showing McDonald's death goes public?

Chicago will soon find out.

A judge in the northern Illinois city has given the city until Wednesday to release police dashcam video that shows the October 20, 2014, shooting. It's a move Chicago officials have resisted, claiming it could jeopardize any ongoing investigation.

1. Fucking PIG

It took a judge ordering the video released to get this Fucker charged. Otherwise they would still be doing their "investigation" for however long they wanted.

And they had the fucking audacity to keep this guy on the payroll with a desk job, when everyone who saw the video knew it was clear as day.

These bastards don't want to police themselves EVER. They will lie and distort the truth, even when there is video showing what really happened. I bet he gets a low bail amount since he's a good white pig, and can't let him among the prisoners in jail who would like to get their hands on him.

2. Trying to fix the police problem is like

trying to replace a window in your house while there is a 300 mile per hour hurricane hitting you.

We must fire all, all police, all, all administrators, and rehire all but do it over time so there is no interruption.

We will never do this, we will have a race war first

3. A $5 million dollar settement was paid for the city by insurance before a

lawsuit was ever filed by the family.

Cops are really special murdering thugs and insurance companies approve of making money from their criminal activity.

4. BBC has done a beautiful write up on this atrocious crime. This teenaged boy was shot THREE TIMES

when he was lying on the fucking ground. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-34918231

I highly recommend watching the video in the story to anyone reading this OP.
