[OldSoul]

The murder trial of a white Chicago police officer began Wednesday (Sept 5, 2018) with jury selection as protesters outside the courthouse chanted the name of Laquan McDonald, the 17-year-old African-American the officer shot 16 times in a line-of-duty confrontation.
Officer Jason Van Dyke, 40, entered the Leighton Criminal Court Building in Chicago wearing a bulletproof vest and surrounded by his lawyers, supporters and heavily armed guards.
A pool of potential jurors seated in the courtroom was read the 23-count indictment against Van Dyke, which includes first-degree murder, multiple charges of aggravated battery and one count official misconduct.

More than a year after the shooting, the Chicago Police Department released a police dashcam video showing Van Dyke opening fire on McDonald six seconds after he exited his patrol car as the teenager appeared to be walking away from him.

These lynchings , have been continuing steady , about one every three months for the past 2 years! I dont know if you have noticed that since we have fallen from where we were in the 60s 70s and 80s , White Supremacy takes pot shots at us every hour cause they think , now that we have no leaders single or group, no national organizations worth a dime and no Black unity , that we are now after all that hard work of the past have become , in their eyes a punk race that they can just do to as they please!
