Breaking News: Chicago releases video of cop shooting black teen
Hours after a Chicago police officer was ordered held without bond on first-degree murder charges, the city said it was releasing a shocking police dash-cam video that captured the white officer opening fire on an African American teen on Southwest Side street, striking him 16 times and killing him.
"We're here to release the video," Superintendent Garry McCarthy said at police headquarters late Tuesday afternoon where he was joined by Mayor Rahm Emanuel and other city leaders.
McCarthy said he understood how people will feel watching the video but urged calm.
"The officer in this case took a young man's life and he's going to have to account for his actions," McCarthy said. "People have a right to be angry, people have a right to protest."
