[Tanahashi Coates]

Already started if you look at social media comments.

"If you obey the law, this doesn't happen"

Feel sorry for Jason Goff having to listen to that bullshyt. This wife doesn't deserve any money for her husband's actions but the USA's hero worship of police make him right

I doubt it. There is no wriggle room like Mike Brown or even Rodney King. They will make an example of him for being so flagrant

Theres tons of wiggle room...for instance, he "had a knife" and the officers weren't "premeditated" etc.

Watch...you're gonna see tons of fukkery come out.

They want perfect victims and because this guy was in the middle of the street with a knife, theyre going to pin every ounce of blame on him.

1) Obeyed the law. 2) Stop when cops asked you to. 3) Stop when cops asked you to. 4) Stop when cops asked you to.

Citizens Police Data Project. Dude had 18 complaints saying he used racial slurs and pistol whipped a couple of people I hope y'all don't think I be making shyt up when I say the police kill,plant guns and drugs or beat up people I'm not saying "black on black" crime doesn't exist in the city of Chicago but I can tell you the police have a lot to do with it from this story The disappeared: Chicago police detain Americans at abuse-laden 'black site' to this shooting CPD along with Harvey and Chicago heights police have a lot of dirt on their hands

The cop is going to walk. No jury will convict him of 1st degree murder

We know now that the man had a knife. A small knife can look like a small gun. Just before the man was shot, it looks like he motioned his arm in the police officer's direction.

breh this is common practice to over charge police officers to initially satisfy the public. He won't be convicted of 1st degree murder, there's no proof of premeditation as of yet. If they find something that leads the jury to believe it's pre meditated outside of the dash cam then MAYBE and that's a light maybe. He'll be convicted of manslaughter, sentenced to 10 years out in 4-6

Malice aforethought
Deliberation and premeditation dont always mean he had to plan or contemplate for some time beforehand . on this case he acted consciously in shooting Laquan while he was already down .

1st degree murder is gonna stick no matter what

"A Chicago police officer spent 13 seconds firing as Laquan McDonald lay prone on the street, emptying his pistol and reloading even though the black teen never made a motion to fight back, according to charging documents released ahead of video showing the deadly 2014 shooting"

That's first degree murder all day champ.

Again, thats second degree at best.

Cops get different standards out here since they're allowed to use guns in the first place. First degree is them just running up on grandmothers at the bus stop and laying them down

Breh...









Nobody trynna hea dat "Dont make em angry tho. " bullshyt.

You're being being purposefully obtuse right now so imma letchu be.

How you keep twisting my words, when they clear as day

You realize you can make people angry and do it in a smart way right

Again, acting smart with a clear plan > dudes acting reckless

It's good though, bruh. We'll agree to disagree.

I'm curious as to how they'll demonize the kid.

Find a bad report card he got once? Maybe a story about how he got into a fight a few years ago? Dig up a picture of him trying to be hard on Twitter? Or maybe they'll just go the generic what-about-black-on-black-crime route and say "X number of black kids were killed in Chicago this year what about them blah blah blah" .

It's already starting...

An excerpt from the article

McDonald was holding a knife at the time of the shooting and the drug PCP was found in his bloodstream, officials have said.

According to prosecutors, McDonald was stealing radios from trucks near 41st and Pulaski shortly before 10 p.m. on Oct. 20, 2014. When responding officers requested backup with a Taser, Van Dyke and his partner responded, Assistant State's Attorney William Delaney said during the bond hearing Tuesday. Neither Van Dyke nor his partner indicated they had a Taser.

Van Dyke was on the scene for less than 30 seconds before he stepped out of his marked SUV and started shooting at Laquan at 9:57 p.m., Delaney said. At the time, the teen was about 10 feet away.

Van Dyke took a step toward McDonald and continued to shoot, emptying his gun, prosecutors said. When Van Dyke paused to reload, his partner told him to stop shooting as the partner went to check on Laquan and kick away the teen's knife, Delaney said.

The partner could hear McDonald struggling to breathe, according to prosecutors. Though McDonald had a pulse on the scene, he was dead by the time he reached a nearby hospital.

There were at least eight other police officers on the scene, Delaney said, but none of them fired at Laquan because they didn't think there was a reason to do so.

Authorities said McDonald was carrying a knife with a 3-inch folding blade. At one point, he slashed the tire of a police car, but witnesses said McDonald never lunged at officers and appeared to be trying to get away from police when Van Dyke shot him, Delaney said.Alvarez on Tuesday in an earlier press conference and said the impending release of dash-cam footage pushed up her timeline to file charges.
