Another ’14 Chicago police shooting video to be released

The most recent Mayoral race was one of the most contentious races in recent years.

Emanuel sent out a statement Thursday, a day after saying that a federal civil rights investigation into the police department’s tactics would be “misguided” because the U.S. Attorney’s office in Chicago already is investigating.

In addition, a district manager for a Burger King near the shooting scene named Jay Darshane told reporters that several police officers entered his restaurant to then delete surveillance video of the shooting recorded by the restaurant’s cameras.

“When you’ve got a standup cop with nothing to hide, the dash-cam is his friend”, said Gregg Stutchman, who has specialized in video forensics in California for 23 years.

Some have also accused the city of withholding the squad vehicle video until after Chicago’s November election, when Emanuel won a second term.

Many things must happen to restore trust in the Chicago Police Department and I welcome efforts and ideas that can help us achieve that important goal.

The McDonald video reveals the flipside of the so-called “Ferguson effect”, a widely alleged tendency by some police to hesitate before responding to crime scenes for fear of getting caught in a career-ending cellphone video.

Emanuel’s reversal comes after Hillary Clinton’s campaign indicated Wednesday night that the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination would call for a federal investigation of the Chicago Police Department.

Autopsy results obtained by the Chicago Tribune on Tuesday show the fatal shot traveled through Johnson’s shoulder, severed his jugular vein and exited his eye socket. But to a non-expert ear, the shots sound more like synthesized drums than the rippling crack of the 9mm gun that, according to the charges against him, Van Dyke used. Emanuel also announced the creation of a police accountability task force.

Primeau said it’s likely that federal authorities would bring in forensics experts to determine why no useable audio seems to exist, with other investigators probably reviewing logs for any notes about how the systems were operating before and after the shooting.

Critics have blasted Alvarez for taking more than a year to charge Van Dyke, and only doing so after video of the shooting was released.

Acree and others also want those alderman who signed off on the payment to explain why they agreed to it.

Because my school is located on the South Side, the issue of the video hit close to home for our community.

However, Chicagoans of all races and ethnicities have expressed their outrage and have peacefully protested the McDonald shooting and delayed video release. “I think it is a good sign that we are looking at this, and we are concerned about this”.

“We’re not satisfied”, Moore said. I was extremely surprised, but immediately I watched.

It is too stark, it is too destructive, and, though it breaks my heart, I can see no just path forward that does not include Emanuel’s immediate resignation.

“I don’t believe this administration is serious about changing this culture, because the moves they have made do not reflect that”, Hairston said.
