Dirty Cop Served In Laquan McDonald Murder!

Dirty cop who killed Laquan McDonald is going to the iron college.

Jason Van Dyke was sent to the iron college for 81 months (about seven years) in the iron college for the 2014 murder of an unarmed suspect. The Chicago Police managed to cover up this act by saying the ad nauseam excuse, "He feared for his life."

The judge sentenced the 40 year old former cop today. He was convicted of second-degree murder.

He killed Laquan McDonald in October 2014. Van Dyke, a white officer, was handed his sentence about three months after he was convicted of multiple charges for fatally shooting McDonald, a black 17 year old holding a knife. His sentence was handed down only a day after the court acquitted three Chicago cops of covering up the incident.

It was going to be swept under rug.

Many believe the story that McDonald was the aggressor.

It turns out that a video showed a different outcome. Van Dyke shot McDonald 16 times after witnessing the disoriented teen walk in the middle of the street.

Van Dyke was arrested and charged the day of the video's release. He testified in court that he feared for his life when approaching McDonald and Van Dyke's attorneys argued that if he would have dropped his knife, he would be alive today. He had been the first Chicago police officer to be charged with first-degree murder since 1980.

Justice for Laquan McDonald.

McDonald had PCP in his blood and was not in his mind.

The shooting had results. Cook County prosecutor Anita Alverez was defeated. The Chicago police commissioner at the time, Garry McCarthy was fired out the cannon. Chicago's embattled mayor Rahm Emanuel decided to not run for reelection. He lost confidence in the community and now there's a race to replace him.

Laquan McDonald is one of many incidents where Chicago Police managed to abuse their power when it come to the rights of people of color.
