Chicago releases emails in deadly cop capturing

That’s a reference to the times a white police officer fatally shot black teenager Laquan McDonald in 2014.

The number of people shot by Chicago police officers has gradually dropped since 2011 when officers shot 56 people, 24 fatally.

Thousands of emails were released Thursday in response to open-records requests from The Associated Press and other news media regarding 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, who was killed in October of last year.

And in the same month Mr Collins complained to colleagues that the IPRA did not follow his recommendation on how to respond to a TV station about Mr McDonald.

Emanuel’s senior legal adviser, Stephen Patton, emailed Collins on December 9, 2014, saying he told his staff to inform him “immediately” when a lawsuit in the case was filed.

“I submit the graphic dash cam video will have a powerful impact on any jury and the Chicago community as a whole”, he wrote.

Another police shooting over the weekend left two dead.

The city eventually reached a $5 million settlement, a deal approved by the City Council shortly after Emanuel won a second term.

“Can anyone do an interview?” “These stories are getting done with or without us”.

For example, after the department saw an increase in police-involved shootings in 2014 where officers opened fire on vehicles with suspects inside them, it reviewed the actions taken by the officers during each incident, Escalante said.

More significantly, the release stressed “major reforms” and “policy revisions” that have been announced by the department in the wake of the McDonald video, such as implementing training for officers to “resolve confrontations using the least force necessary” and equipping every responding officer with Tasers by June 1.

The video showed McDonald veering away from officers before he was repeatedly shot, including while he was facedown on the pavement. Officer Jason Van Dyke is charged with murder. The video, which was released in November 2015, prompted the resignation of a top police commander. “It is absolutely critical in this case, as in all police-involved shootings, for the investigative agency to get it right so that justice can be served”. Emanuel has said that he hadn’t seen the video of the shooting before it was released publicly.

Much of the release about 2015 crime statistics details changes being implemented that are created to limit the use of deadly force by officers.
