*16 times.

16x in the back; pants on fire

I don’t know much about guns having never owned one but don’t handguns have ten round magazines? So he emptied one and reloaded to carry on shooting but this was “the last thing he wanted to do”. Sounds like utter crap. secularcitizen2 perlmutations

Clearly, he is a murderer. He should rot in Jail. Payback is a bitch. Good riddance. The police in this country need to be controlled and help accountable to the highest degree. We give them power to protect us, they murder our citizens instead.

16 times.....

He'll be out in 4 SMH

“It’s that last thing I wanted to do. That’s why it was the first thing I actually did.”🙄

Not long enough!

He spelled first wrong!

Justice finally served!

“The first thing I wanted to do was shoot Labuan McDonald. And my buddies tried to help me cover it up. Thank goodness for that dirty judge yesterday who let my buddies off.”

Also the 1st thing.

Before receiving any financial aid for college you should have to serve 2 years on the police force.

Sort of hard to believe that statement given he emptied his 16 shot clip into the guy

Sure.

Liar. 🤥

Didn't stop him from firing 16 shots though, did it?

No justice once again

Ever been so frustrated the words won’t come out? Yeah that!

I bet he is unhappy as the family is with the sentence

The last thing I wanted to do was shoot Laquan McDonald The next to last last thing I wanted to do was to shoot Laquan McDonald The last thing I wanted to do before that was shoot Laquan McDonald The last thing I wanted to do before THAT was shoot Laquan McDonald repeat x 12 more

Lol.. no, he wanted to shoot him 17 times

I'm thinking the last thing he wanted was to be held accountable for murdering Laquan McDonald.

Not enough jail time.

Which is exactly this piece of shit dumped his ENTIRE Magazine into this kid and then stopped by his partner from reloading

Oh yeah and he shot him 16 times!!!

Well, you could have restrained yourself.

They got Van Dyke’s parents, daughters, wife, extended family and friends to say that he really is a good guy. Who cares. He shot a kid 17 times. He’s a hater with entitlement issues-plus a cover up. Rot in prison dude.

the last thing he wanted to do was detain Laquan using his hands. Enjoy prison

Too many say that “ The last thing they wanted to do is kill a black boy or man” with no consequences..

The last 15?

He did not want to shoot him 16 times is all

Rot in jail

Bottom line is the black teenager should not have put himself in that situation to begin with

Yeah, it was the first thing.

When I’m reluctant to do something I usually do it 16 times in a row

Maybe. But once you did, the last thing you wanted was to be held accountable for it. LaquanMcDonald

He shot the kid 16 times?! Maybe he should start praying for his own soul!

But you did!

He should serve life, however, the minimum should be 1yr for each bullet he fired.

16 bullets!!! Did he also force himself to reload?😡

I can’t imagine how hard being a cop must be. In a split second your life can get flipped upside down or you could end up killed because you make the wrong decision. 16 times is a little much though.

Awwwww...boo hoo.

The last thing he wanted to do was shoot him, but you did and you killed him. End of story.

16 times?

Wanted to curb stomp him first

That’s a pretty weak defense if you take it to mean “chronologically”

So I fired my gun 16 times. I kept firing even after he hit the ground. Then my buddies tried to cover it up.

Isn't that exactly what he did when he came onto the scene?

But he shot that man anyway.

Well, that was a dumb thing to say, considering... 16 shots. I'll be downtown tonight if he isn't sentenced to prison.

You're misinterpreting what he said. He wanted that to be the last thing he did. Unfortunately, he was not immediately shot, despite being a clear and present danger, and was then allowed to tamper with evidence at fast food restaurants, etc.

And that's exactly what he did.

What 16 times?

Then why did you shoot him?

Yet you shot him 16 times! FOH!

Then he probably shouldn't have shot him.

So what ! What's strange about that ! The world has lot bigger problems ! There's corrupt cops everywhere ! Get me a fucking ticket and ask Sel if she can meet me in NYC for the weekend ! We can meet tomorrow ! Hurry !

He forced himself to shoot 16 times huh!? 😮

And yet he did

'A jury convicted Van Dyke of second-degree murder and 16 counts of aggravated battery — one for each time the officer shot McDonald.'

Little late.

So he did it 16 times?

Liar

Buahahaha

Give him life and melt away the key.
