What a disgusting thing to watch and everyone there who lied in reports should have been fired. A lot of cops join for the adrenaline and over react because of it Could have hit with car door, baton or followed until fell from exhaustion Could of shot in leg 16 bullets GFY POS

Under 7 years for him murdering a person & destroying a family? This is not Justice; he should've been sentenced life at HARD labor or death penalty. This is NOT fair justice!

In our faces.....

Only 6 years and 7 months for murdering someone wtf

Why is it when a rogue cop kills someone they get a slap on the wrist? When someone kills a cop the book is thrown at them? In my eyes, one person’s life is no more valuable than any other life. A blue uniform doesn’t make you more valuable.U R responsible 4 your actions

Complete bull shit.. only 6 years? 2 mandatory? 16 times is a massacre on that poor young mans body! He will rightfully be taken care of in prison by the other inmates!

6 years? Really?

im pretty sure that if this was a minority they would get life in prison without any possibility of any parole. yet this man gets 6y and 9mo. . anyways, sure glad that because he is serving more than 12mo, he wont be allowed to work as a law enforcement officer ever again in USA.

... Something or somebody is not normal...

That's all? 6 years and 9 months for a young mans life? No wonder the elected repubs want to stack the courts in their own image!

Not enough time.

An example of Satan’s best trick to use a person for evil simultaneously ruining the life of an entire family. People tend to forget that like God uses people to do His perfect will, Satan uses people to do his evil will. Dyke is a weakling that fell into the trap✝️✝️✝️

That’s not long enough! 16 times that’s disturbing and disgraceful

This makes me sick.

Without a doubt, should have received life with 0 parole.

?!!!!!!!!!

The judges sentence would have been alright if he had fined him $300,000 to be paid out on parole at 25% of income per year till paid in full.

Six years. Really?! Does he lose WiFi privileges too? Geez. I should become a cop. I can get away with anything and barely get punished.

Shot 16 times because he felt his life was being threatened while walking away...as a former United States Marshal, that a ridiculous notion. He thought the law enforcement power structure would support him base on previous incidents. He fell for the tricks/wiles of Satan✝️✝️✝️

Corrupt judge

That's it?

If you want to kill people with little to no repercussions, be a cop.

That’s it?

He’ll be taken care of in prison. I hope he’s thinking about going to prison as a former cop, and what they will do to him once he’s in there.

He's going to have fun in jail.

81 months divided by 16 shots = 5.0628 months per bullet. I'd say he got off PDL.

It's about time, but it sure as hell ain't enough time.

Life

Not enough

And if a white man had been shot in the back by a black man as he walked away, that black man would be sentenced to life.

Months!? Is that a typo?

Done and over with, move on people

Hope for a little jail house justice

Will he have his own cell?

Wait till he goes to prison, won’t last a week, unless he’s in protective custody

He will be out in 3. The conspirators got nothing

What! Are you kidding only 6 years and a couple of months He’s going too be out in 3!!

That's not even a year per bullet. Essentially, he walks away in a year.

Hopefully he’ll serve it on gen pop

That’s a pass.

Justice was not served.

Should have been 6 years for every shot fired.

That's it? That's ALL he was sentenced for? How come?

Accountability THIS is what it will take for ALL lives to matter

16 shots. Nine in the back. Six years, and he'll likely serve only half of that. Shameful.

Six years for murder.............hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Thats it?

Prosecutors want 18 years in prison for ex-Chicago officer Jason Van DykeProsecutors are recommending that the former Chicago police officer convicted in the 2014 shooting death of black teenager Laquan McDonald be sentenced to at least 18 years in prison. he should get 25 to life like every other murderer. 'In a letter to the judge, Van Dyke's wife wrote that he was 'convicted by the court of public opinion a long time ago, way before the trial.'' Yeah, I'm pretty sure once the video came out showing him shooting the victim, it's what did it
