A jury has found Chicago police Officer Jason Van Dyke guilty of second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald in 2014.
The panel of eight women and four men – seven white, one black, three Hispanic and one Asian – began deliberations Thursday afternoon.
The shooting was captured on a grainy police dashcam video. Van Dyke said he fired in self-defense after McDonald lunged at him with a knife. But the dashcam video – which a judge ordered the city to release 13 months after the shooting – showed McDonald walking away from police, rather than charging at them.
fuck. even a majority non-nigger jury fucked him. thats bullshit. the nigger was on PCP wielding a knife he REFUSED to put down and reportedly was threatening people at a wendys beforehand.
