CHICAGO — The latest on the shooting of a black teenager by a white Chicago police officer. (All times local):
5:35 p.m.

Businesses in Chicago are advising tenants to be prepared for protests as Chicago officials release a video showing a white police officer shooting a black teenager 16 times.

Some management companies have said they intend to operate as usual but are prepared to lock down buildings if protests become unruly.

Prominent clergy members are calling for peaceful protests and civil disobedience as the city prepares to release dash-cam video of the 2014 shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. A judge last week ordered the city to publicly release the video.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy also are calling for calm, as are McDonald's parents.

2. Emmanuel and his corrupt administration are in a world of hurt

"we will be intolerant of criminal behavior" in the City of Chicago -- Police Superintendent

Funny, you were tolerant of this cop thug getting 18 complaints filed against him before you HAD to take action on #19

They are making such a big deal about "Van Dyke is not being paid any longer"

Jesus....

3. 14 months of pay after murder only stopped by FOIA request otherwise he'd still be on the roll

4. Because one of the complaints in these kinds

of cases is that the officer gets a paid vacation during the hearings. I can understand the gripe of a murderer still being paid with my tax dollars. So they are making it very clear that they aren't letting him hide behind the thin blue line any more.
Nice change of pace.
