#LaquanMcDonald: As video released, cop charged with murder 1, activists demand...

The City of Chicago has released, under court order, the dashcam video from the brutal killing of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald by a Chicago police officer – and it’s as bad as we all expected.

Unfortunately, these are charges that should have been filed a year ago.
