Chicago officer charged in 2014 death of Laquan McDonald pleads not guilty

Not surprising at all. What is surprising (to me) is that (if you read the end of the article)

Over the weekend, Chicago police shot and killed two other people, a 55-year-old woman who was shot accidentally and a 19-year-old man whom police have said was "combative" before he was shot. The department will not say how many officers fired their weapons or what the two people were doing before they were shot.

Here is the link for review and further discussion.

Nothing like Christmas in Cuba.

2nd.

In another year or so they'll finally be forced to release the dash video (I don't know that there is one, just saying) that shows what happened and then they'll fire another commissioner, the mayor will say he has no comment at yet another press conference where nothing is really said, and we'll start the whole process all over again.

It's the Chicago way.

This is sort of a requirement though, can you imagine what the response would be if he plead guilty?

Sham, I found this site (if accurate) irrepressible - there is a ticker counter - Basically the murder rate in Chicago...

Utterly inordinate!!

We had a similar discussion on another thread the other day. I would be curious what the outcome would be if he did get off... If the judge / jury decided to to press criminal charges; rest assured there will be a civil suite regardless, but.......

Chicago is the damn Wild West minus the cool hats and steely eyed glares. Having spent a few years growing up outside there, I'm not shocked at all.
