    BREAKING: Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke was just found GUILTY of the murder of Laquan McDonald. This justice was hard fought. While it does not bring back the life that was stolen, it’s an important step. Those who covered it up need to be next. One step at a time.

        not super hopeful. It was all but given considering the framing and the second degree murder charge. Technically, because Van Dyke said he was out to kill minutes before shooting McDonald, it should've been a first degree murder charge. Can't complain but this is a given

        It also doesn't absolve the rampant police brutality or injustice by the police in Chicago. Nothing technically will. This is a moment of give them the crumbs.

        1st CPD officer in nearly *50* years to be convicted of murder. But of course, they escorted him out of the court room AND court house without handcuffs.
