Just as we warned earlier..
With the release of this video, we suggest anyone living in and around Chicago 'brace' for potential social unrest. The Chicago Police Department has released video footage of the officer-involved shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, who was struck 16 times during a confrontation with officers.
The dashcam video, described by Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez says that this video is "graphic, violent, and chilling," is expected to provoke a very strong emotional reaction from Chicago’s very large African-American community.
As John Kass, a columnist for the Chicago Tribune, said, the video "could tear Chicago apart," which is why Mayor Emanuel has already urged Chicagoans, "it is fine to be passionate, but it is essential to remain peaceful."
Laquan McDonald was walking down a Chicago street the night of October 20, 2014, carrying a four-inch knife and behaving erratically, authorities say.
A police officer told him to drop the knife. He didn’t listen, and the officer fired on him out of fear for his life, according to a police union spokesman.
McDonald, 17, died. He was shot 16 times.

Now, more than a year later, the public will be able to see what happened.
Warning: this video is graphic (the confrontation begins around 5:00)
* * *
As RT reports, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel urged calm as City Hall got set to release police dash cam footage from the shooting incident, which occurred in October 2014. During the incident, 37-year-old Jason Van Dyke, a white officer, shot and killed McDonald, an African-American teen.
“I understand people will be upset and want to protest when they see this video,” Emanuel told reporters during a Tuesday afternoon press conference.
Emanuel cited the McDonald family, saying, “They have asked for calm, and for those who do protest to do so peacefully.”
“It is fine to be passionate, but it is essential to remain peaceful,” Emanuel added.
Earlier in the day, Van Dyke became the first on-duty Chicago officer to be charged with first-degree murder. He was ordered held without bail at a hearing. He has been placed on a "no pay" status by the department. As Michael Snyder adds,
Over the past few years, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Freddie Gray have all become household names because of the way that they died, and now it looks like Laquan McDonald’s name will be added to that list. But the situation in Chicago is potentially even more volatile what we witnessed in either Ferguson or Baltimore.
More than a million African-Americans live in the Chicago metropolitan area, and the crime rate in the city has already been skyrocketing. In fact, it is being projected that Chicago’s murder rate will increase by 20 percent in 2015. This is a city that is always living on the edge of chaos, and now the case of Laquan McDonald could be the spark that sets Chicago ablaze.
After everything that has happened over the past few years, the last thing that we need is another incident that will make racial tensions in this country even worse. Unfortunately, that appears to be exactly what we are going to get.

Haha, guy is afraid of being stabbed to death by a junkie! What a loser!
Is Poe's Law in effect here?
"... the other guy pulls a knife, you pull a gun ... that's the chicago-way ..." - The Untouchables
The fact is, that if the guy with the knife is within 20 ft. of you, he can cut you before you can drop him, unless you are aiming for the head. (Training is for the body-mass) Cuts tend to bleed-out quickly and bullets don't. LE training is to stay the F away from the knife because of it's potential to do more harm than the bullet. Mind you, avoid bullets if you can. Most people with guns, miss the target, people with knives get close enough not to miss.
Chicago is a charnal house of ignorance, hate, poverty and failed public policy. More than one murder-horde will be spawned as that dying corpse turns over.
So ZH - will you be publishing tomorrow a Ramirez cartoon showing the funny side of Laquan Mcdonald's death? Will you start running your predictable articles that justify white police killing black youths because there is a high crime rate in Chicago? (They deserve to be killed by the police!) Will you run your predictable articles that everything is Obama's fault? Will you run your predictable articles that protesting police violence is wrong? Time to rev up your race-baiting, isn't it ZH?
Your a Fed aren't you?
The people crying racism are generally the racist; to bad people can't understand there is but one "human" race and many cultures. Ignorant thugs don't care and Liberals are a mental disorder and both are a like a blight on societies.
The nature of the human is the same in all of us; it is the culture that brings out either the worse or the best by degrees.
Low information crowd is wide awake and the results are disasterous. Destabilizing our countries is a goal. This is not something we have seen before. And what is the rush? Take his plate number, call up the dispatcher and send a cop to the guy's home. He'll show up eventually.
And I would like for you to go into the inner city off a free way exit alone some night. Roll your windows down and drive very slowly. I will send flowers to your funeral.
Maplepeg - Some day, maybe, you will grow into a real adult, and stop being a victim of what ever social issue you dive into. Too bad you have such a victim complex. You seem to think ZH is some kind of RACIST or PRO-COP website. Excuse me?! Get over the BLM montra!
Did anyone else notice the point where the poor, defenseless dindu made a 'come at me bro' type move with his knife and body language?
What was that 'dance move' all about?
These cops (and I ain't no lover of 'em) have to swim in this filth every day. I'm sure they're just a little more than 'on edge'. Plus, the dindu must've done SOMETHING to get all these cops called on the scene at high speeds from quite a distance away.
Naw, I'm sure he was just on his way to carve up the Turkey at Norman Rockwell's house.
No, they'll be covering the riot now taking place/ http://abcnews.go.com/US/protests-erupt-chicago-video-laquan-mcdonald-sh...
Don't you wonder why these videos are released so quickly and spread so rapidly. They want us at each other's throats and they will do ANYTHING including fund it, insert actors to instigate it and spread it via propaganda through the monopoly known as MSM.
War on Cancer, War on Poverty, War on Terrorism, War on Drugs, War on Illiteracy, War on Racism....Head spinning now.
Now, where is my remote?
Try using "fomenting" if you are accusing ZH of it, rook.
The issue here, Magoo - if you actually WATCHED the fucking video, is that STUPID ASSHOLE sauntering around like a damn fool in the street with a knife.
NO telling what hate/smack talk/ebonic rage on drugs spewing out of his maw either.....no audio
and what the Sam Fucking Hill is this just NOW surfacing??? 2014?
Typical Shitcago cover up corruption....and the country wants more governing.
I'm wearing out the back of my hand slapping people I meet/see that spew anything close to that shit...
I too, scan ZH, and find NONE of this race-baiting going on here.
You..of course, leave out the daily fomenting at nearly every other "popular with dumbmasses" sites. YaPoo, FoxReilly, AOHell, Bluffinton CommiePost, cnbs, Bloatberg, et. fuckin al pal....
Go whine on one of those asinine sites.
To all a good night, be safe, even if you are a moron LOL
I think Chicago will go DETROIT! You can take the N out of Jungle, but you can't take Jungle out of N. Either way, it's a Jugle out there.
If you meant Nigger, say Nigger. Niggers say nigger all the time. They think they have some special ownership of the word.
I'll bet the Bamster gets the race war he is continually stoking, then he can declare martial law and rule forever and ever.

Where is Obummer the great uniter and peace prize winner? Playing golf?
He is lovin' it; he came to dived U.S. in order to conquer U.S. and for that he has done a superb job of it and people who have the most to loose from this clown support him the most (Urbanites and women laden with sin); humans are born to trouble as sparks fly upward.

Did I see a round kick off the pavement about 6 seconds after he went down and was barely moving? Time to take out the witness? This just didn't feel right- no matter how stupid this guy was.
There is a philosopher on ytube one of his famous sayings is " whatever the .gov tries to accomplish with violence ie. force they acheive the opposite".
Take a look around are they solving the problems in the middle east with their force?
Are they solving the poverty and violent crime in the US with their force?
But .gov thinks more and more force is the remedy... they will think this until the world burns.
Let the Thanksgiving festivities begin mother fuckers , Chicago reaps what it has sewn.
Here's shooting from a different angle

Cops should be required to carry cop insurance, the way doctors carry malpractice insurance. They should also be tracked in a national registry of public safety, and tagged until dismissal or retirement.
They should have mandatory drug testing as well.
SSDDDN...same shit, different day, different niggers
Soon based off of the Statistics, it may be the young white men roaming around blaming the race card!

My younger brother was a functioning manic depressive for about 25 adult years of his life. If you know nothing about mental illness don't reply to this. About five years before he eventually took his own life last February he was having a manic attack. He was driving his pick up down a county road shooting out all the lights and at all the road signs. He was holding the shotgun when he stepped out of the truck yet the county sheriff did not shoot him. He damn sure could have and he just knew my brother was not right in the head. He was hospitalized that night and spent a week getting meds re evaluated .
My family thanked that cop and the department with a letter signed by all my siblings. When is the last time you thanked a cop?
Having said that, metro city cops in any decent size city are a whole different story. They look more like mutant ninja turtles with all their battle gear. My brother would have been blown full of holes if he had that last episode in a big city.
Before anyone tries to crucify this cop and it looks like he was a psycho to me . Let me say I run sales calls in S Chicago and also near Westside. I am a white male. I get death stares for just being there trying to work to feed my family. I would not wish being a Chicago cop on my worst enemy. Imagine the garbage you deal in shift in and shift out. Couldn't pay me enough. That cop deserves a life sentence . I would say this to to all those who have never been in a knife fight or attacked by someone with a knife . You all talk big. I would rather deal with a man with a handgun who is only half ass proficient than a man up close who knows how to use a knife .i have dealt with both. I think the scars on my right forearm are what the TV shows call defensive wounds.
Pray for Chicago. They need all the help they can get. Remember this; the whole country can go up in flames in a week in our big cities. It has happened before. Night all.
I hear you bro
Perhaps if there was not a welfare state, and if drugs were worthless, ie legal there would be far less crime....
If the welfare state did not exist the family ties would be much stronger, the family would have to work together and stay together to prosper. The people would have much less time on their hands to do drugs and get into trouble if you had to work to pay for food and a roof over your head. Mothers would need their children to help with the family.
But when the Family is broken, this is the start to where we are today.Giving people money to sit at home does not help society one little bit.
Remember the .gov has nothing, everything the .gov has it received by stealing wealth from the people at the barrel of a gun, and then giving to others.
Don't believe me, stop paying your taxes, men will come with guns and take you away.
Welfare is the easiest way to get voters.
Fiat - you are closing in one the reason why these bastards are trying to destroy the family. They are parasites and God haters.
Technically, it’s all voluntary. A choice if you will.
But he’s right.
Sorry I don't understand your question.
This is where I am coming from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XooUY4p4RaY
nothing to do with religion bashing if that is what you mean.
To all the tax paying citizens of the US, please take a look at the above linked video.
Take a look at what a single mother loses if she makes more than 12$ / hr... she loses out on $57,000 worth of benifits... this is staggering.
of course politicians do not want make any changes because that would mean lost votes and the .gov workers in this field do not want people off of welfare because that might mean smaller budgets and layoffs.
What the US needs more than anything is a leader with some very different ideas, the only one I can think of that even had a clue what was going on was Ron Paul. Unfortunatley there is no one in the line up that is willing to tackle muricas problems.
Sorry - I wasn't clear. I will elaborate. What I refer to is the war on the family as a pillar of the attack against morality. The war on morality is central to the plan for the NWO.
The family is the smallest yet most powerfull political unit on the planet. Undermine the family and you can undermine individuality. The destruction of the family allows them to promote their idea of overwriting our "moral operating system" with their corrupt polluted idea of everyone is free to define their own morals.
It is all about installing the idea of "who am I to judge?" in everyone's mind. It is evil. Which is expected because the notion spawns from the father of lies.
Why did it take more than a year to charge this cop? Could it be that Rob was up for election and did not want the negative publicity? He was elected April 2015 and was getting a hard push from another candidate. What a slimebag.
Are you suggesting there are politicians who are not slimebags?
He's a typical Jew in it for the money and with no cares for anyone else, certainly none for blacks.
Your tax dollars hard at work!
Anyone wanna bet the trigger-happy cop was on steroids?
http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/12/hundreds_of_nj_police_firefigh....
Take off....nuke it from space...only way to be sure....
Whatever happened to the Neutron Bomb? Seriously.
Give the white folk a months notice. SOME educated blacks may also get with it.
Leave the niggers, losers and various colors of human trash there to be vaporized.....
ONE EDIT: DO NOT INFORM ANY OF THE SHITCAGO POLITICIANS OF ANY STRIPE. THAT CABAL HAS GOT TO BE ERASED FROM THE EARTH....
Chicago deserves better....and a do-over.
"To Protect and Serve"? ...Does this ring a bell?
I don't go out walking like I have to take a shit waving a knife around, precisely because I don't want to be put down like a mad dog. I don't run from the police. Hell, it's hard enough just being white and walking down the street open carrying. What the fuck is that about?
17? If he'd have shanked someone he would have been tried as an adult. This shit is so 2014. Leave it to Ron Faghole to crucify a cop is what I'm saying. First degree murder? Fuck! If every knife weilding poopy pants was shot dead then maybe no one would fuck around like that.
I'm all for walking funny and openly packing. I just don't whip it out like that stupid asshole in the video. I applaud Chicago Police for protecting the public and serving this kid a hot one. Too bad he couldn't fucking dance.
Maybe he woke up and realized that he was 'tarded and couldn't cuck any white bitches and took it on the road. Fuck him. If y'all wanna bring race into it, then, fuck you! It's not about race. Unless someone makes it about race. It's about waving a fucking knife around, threatening people with violence. My only gripe is that they couldn't onstar that po-po car that shot the video. That driving made me carsick and was unsustainable for carbon emmissions.
I'm not kidding: if my own child went out like this and got fucking shot to death I'd feel like the shittiest parent in the world. And at least I'd be happy to know who smoked him. And if I saw my own child acting like this, well, fuck me. Good job! Because at least for one I'm not teaching my children that they are special. They are special for their actions. They are special for what they don't have to do but do anyway. And all you race baiting, useful idiots can suck it because you know you don't give a shit anyway. It's just another bitch festival.
If Shitcago got redecorated it should start at the Mayor's mansion. Like Rom gives a shit. What an asshole! There's my passion. Hey Chicago, wake the fuck up!
Fuckin A...well said Golden +1,000

BREAKING: THE FIRES OF THE DEAD LIGHT UP THE SKY
Millions are dead and billions are feared missing as Chicago descends into a dark-hole of hellish ignominy, regret, sadness, violence and roving murder-hordes of young, shirtless, black-men in search of busty women and craft beer.
Lol. Dude, have you seen what those guys drink? They drink Colt 45 out of half-gallon plastic jugs. It's like fortified warm piss. And I have it on good authority the brothers aren't really leg or breast men, they're mostly about the booty.
Nice try though ;)
I stopped reading at "Laquan...."
What about Shanequa? or, is it Shawniqua?
Well, if you anagram Queen Latifah you get Queef Latina. The rabbit hole goes deep, Sully I Am. How about some Green Eggs and Ham? Do you like them on Shawniqua? Do you like them on Latifah?
Do you like them... Sully I Am? Do you like them anywhere? Do you like them in a chair?
Do you like student loans? Take a look! Go to college and smoke a toke. I don't want to hurt some folks but Black people can't take no jokes!
Time to get out of urban areas
Are you ready for the country
because it's time to go?

First degree murder, eah? I've always been against capital punishment.
Hope he gets 25 without parole, and a tattoo on his forehead: "I was the policeman who killed that black kid!"
Time Square cops will have full automatic weapons this year.
U.S. Airports (L.A.) have full automatic weapons now.

Hey... Dickshit!
Didn't I see you trolling on another posting about Jeezus? You sack of shit. How dare you think that you could understand the One True Creator, whatever it is? Like you got it all. Yeah, you got it all. Waive your hat. You're scum.

Some how I cannot justify the trade off.
yes but don't forget we have National Security!

Will you please start posting videoes of the WHITE people killed by WHITE police officers? Also, will you post videos of black police officers shooting black suspects?
That would be so awesome!

Whatever thier color, cops shoot people. Fuck this poor black people propaganda!
Thank You
Same As it Ever Was
Those videos are not news to the racists that want to revive race tensions in USA. They could be used against police brutality but few people are interested in that. Only white on black violence leads to serious events - so only that is newsworthy.
Cops kill over 1000 Americans every year, send thousands more to the hospital, and are rarely held accountable, but we should remain peacful.
That's pertty much clear cut murder in the video, sad part is a 5 minute search on Youtube yeilds 100's more.
My problem with these protests is that it's being made out to be about race and not what it really is, "the police state"
http://www.mintpressnews.com/us-police-murdered-5000-innocent-civilians-...
Never let a good crisis go to waste.
the american government is nothing but murders. I wonder how much longer this will go on before american citizens just start randomly assassinating any .gov employee they come across. If I were a cop in america, I would be afraid, very afraid. This wholesale murder by cop will end in sorrow for the murderers in blue. the universe teaches us for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. no amount of legislation can ever change that.
if they wouldnt need this riot and news, they would never release this video - like they did not do with the other thousands of videos
all on purpose to provoke especially black population and devide the people to create hate amongst each other
fact balck people hate white people
at the same time the mafia jews like the litte rat emanuel israel rahm sitting behind all of the artificial exaggerated provocations
controlling media and education to make black people behave in a matter so they cant assimilate into society
jew media teaches to balck children:
-thugs are cool
-beat other people is cool
-deal and take drugs is cool
-talk grammatically wrong in slangs, swear, etc. like an idiot, with and iq of 75 is cool
-it teaches balck people to wear their own fashion and have their own music
-always try to play the race and victim card: if you dont have money in the year 2015 its someone else fault, not because your and your stupid parents never went to school and behaved like idiots, its because everyone is racist and you belong to the little minority - like baltiomores population 90% minority balck and 10% majority non black is look at how much 10% minority nonbalck opress balck people in that area
-teach balck people a life without values, somthing like have sex with several "bitches" (woman) and make them pregnant without taking any responsibility and let them live an life on welafare, so if the children grow up they can say something like "my life was so hard, my crach addict mother with my 12 half-siblings never had any money and no one liked us because we were black"
but i know the jews are behind all of this non of the movements is a black movement
all is funded and promoted from above by the jews and planned since a long time ago
even the black slave trade was nearly completely jew owned
balck minority is nothing more but a jew tool
I bet the cop was jewish too.
South Africans knew it, Palestinians know it...and now USSANS, especially those with the "wrong" skin color are daily finding out....USSA is THE apartheid racist matrix par excellence. Remember pigs don't kill people...guns do! It's time for foreign powers to "nurture" regime change inside this collapsing Third World warmongering state. R2P and all the Washing town thugs' memes are coming home to roost.
Onward to the next war and it won't be against a real army like China or Russia. Pentacon doesn't do real armies.
16 shots in 6 seconds against someone holding a knife??? That is a point blank execution.
that toddlin town
what amazes me that in the UK and EU, the cops never have guns, except for tactical purposes-how do they get by?
Some these cops need to be on valium, or not given guns.
My American friends are fucking institutionalised. The point being missed here is "you take criminals to court" and not employ a shoot on sight policy for carrying a knife when no member of the public, or the officers themselves are not in danger. Every country around the world has a police force that has to deal with miscreants, who wield a knife, it happens in the UK on occasions, but for some reason these knife carriers survive their encounters and the police-officers don't get hurt.
As an ex-army officer you are taught different rules of engagement depending on the situation, it is obvious in this situation the police officers had the option of controlling the distance between themselves and the knife carrier and not only that, how long did the officer ascertain what the situation was before opening fire? Also it did not appear to me any officer was in mortal danger from the knife carrier, when the shooting happened, so how else could this shooting be described, but as a summary execution and 16 shots does not help their case either. Strong words I know, but the truth nevertheless.
Now the caveat...... I don't give a shit about the dead black boy personally, but there is a reason this police behaviour must be stomped out. These police murders are not just exclusively used on Blacks and Latinos, but on whites too. It has been the constant turning a blind eye to Black and Latino deaths like this, which is leading to injustices against us like this............. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/dashcam-video-shows-pol...
Guilty
Nothing of value was lost.
Blacks v. Jews. This should be interesting.
Why can't cops just cary Billy clubs like thehy do in London. White dood with crooked teeth and a big ugly hat should scare any bro away.
Emanuel pretending to be moderate. Bwwwhaaaaaa that's worse than hillary pretending a southern accent.
This is a race of low IQ hominiods with a propensity for miscreant behavior. The whole race has always been horribly misplaced in a cognitively-aspired society. Shame on our Dutch and Irish forefathers for tearing these primitives from their jungle homeland and bringing them here (as slaves). They will never assimilate; they are not genetically capable of it.
Total BS. It is certain whites that wanted to "fix" things with their great society, welfare and message of victimization, NAACP, abortion, public "education", etc. In addition to the likesof Al Sharpton who prey on those dumbed down by the traitorsrunning the government. Not to mention TPTB using the press they own to pit one race against the other.
Dutch and Irish took part in slave trade because of the economic conditions at the time. Do you think the black man just walked onto the ships and put the shackles on themselves?
The black, scumbag muslims rounded up the bush black man and woman and sent them here - the predominant white Southerner purchased the rights of the individual and treated them as property.
My point? Study your history before you throw out BS that does not even tell half of the story you are trying to portray.
Also, those white southerners where Democrats.
This is not a race problem, it's an American problem. The African engineers I work with are some of the gentlest and kindest people I've ever known. Don't be a dupe. The left has created this mess and you can bet they will use it to gain more power as was their intent from the very beginning.
The media and Soros funded Black Lives Communists will walk in lockstep with this story of a bad white cop vs. a fine, upstanding black man (weilding a knife) because it is a story that can be personalized.
You can't personalize 10 to 15 blacks killing each other in Chicago every weekend - that is statistics. The story does not fit into the media narrative that blacks need another civil rights movement against evil white persecution when in reality they are just killing themselves living off of the welfare state.
"1 death is a tragedy, 1 million deaths is a statistic." - Stalin
The media knows this and the dumb American eats it hook, line and sinker.
psyop agendas:
- gun control
- race war
- police disarmed
- federal control
