CHICAGO Chicago officials released on Tuesday a chilling dashcam video of the fatal shooting of a black 17-year-old, just hours after a white police officer was charged with first-degree murder in the encounter.
The video was released during a late afternoon news conference, fulfilling ajudges order that it be made public.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel acknowledged that the video would make some residents angry, but said it was a time for healing. It is now the time to come together as one city, show respect for one another, Mr. Emanuel said. The video was not immediatedly viewable because it first needed to be downloaded.
Earlier Tuesday, Anita Alvarez, the Cook County states attorney, charged the officer, Jason Van Dyke, in the death of the teenager, Laquan McDonald, who was shot 16 times on Oct. 20, 2014.
The video is VERY DISTURBING.
