CHICAGO -- City Council members were harshly criticized for signing off on a $5 million settlement to the family of Laquan McDonald - before a lawsuit had even been filed - without asking tough enough questions or seeing the incendiary shooting video.The Finance Committee and the City Council voted for the settlement in April 2015.
Three more officers - none had CIT training - arrived in response to the stabbing. By then, Harris was in the basement, holding two knives. He refused commands to drop the weapons, and had turned on the gas, apparently trying to blow up the house, Benson said. "Part of the issue we'll see here is that, when the shooting occurred and when those three officers entered the home, the plaintiff who had called 911 had exited. So the question will be, was it necessary for them to have done so at that time, given that the individual who had called for police had exited the home?" Benson said."Let me get this straight. She called for help. The police arrived. They did the best they could.
Ald. Michele Smith, 43rd, voted for the settlement, despite agreeing with many arguments made by colleagues spearheading the no vote. That vote means the case will go to trial. The largest of four settlements on the Finance Committee agenda, for $14 million, was approved unanimously, without a word of debate.Former CPD cop Jason Van Dyke, convicted in Laquan McDonald's shooting death, will get early release
You forgot to mention he was threatening his mother with a knife and then when police responded to her call for help he stabbed one of the officers in the face.
Now it’s common sense if this person was shot with Twice as many Bullets as Laquan McDonald the Settlement pay out should reflect that. CPD and the FOP don’t apologize for killing our Citizens so the pay should send a message as well. Rouge policing will not be tolerated here.
Is this the guy that stabbed a cop in the face?
