Just my.02 from reading msm. (Btw, I've had trust issues with msm even before the Brian Williams debacle)
So take my opinion with a grain of salt.... it's possible Laquan had become difficult to control as far as his actions or whereabouts.
I've known a (now 20-something) girl who was raised in a very loving environment who went off the rails at the age of 16 and imo cannot blame anyone for the problems she now faces --- but that's another topic.
Looks like he's being charged with first degree murder and apparently the D.A.'s office felt Van Dyke was out of line.
My question is why did this take so long ?
Any time a tragic incident like this happens-- the public needs to know instantly, not a year later when faced by a concerned public.
Are other cities like this ?

NOVEMBER 25, 2015, 6:36 PM|Two new videos have emerged of the fatal shooting of a Chicago teen by indicted police officer Jason Van Dyke. In one of the videos, police are seen standing around as the teen is dying.
Seriously ??? Geeze.. I thought police were supposed to render first aid--- what the hell is going on in Chicago ?
Just very disheartening for someone who was raised to respect authority and LE.
ETA : Again my opinion; but I feel Chicago and other cities who are facing problems with LE and the public can REGAIN their respect by letting the public know everything that goes on, from the cops' smallest errors to who might be 'crooked' within the police dept.
TRANSPARENCY ! Just tell everything, and the people can begin to trust LE.
It's not that difficult, but many cities need to change how they operate so the public can trust them again.
:moo:
