It was October 5th, 2018, just a little more than three years ago when a jury in Chicago

brought back a verdict in the murder case against police officer Jason Van Dyke.

We the jury find the defendant Jason Van Dyke guilty of second-degree murder.

We the jury find the defendant Jason Van Dyke guilty of aggravated battery with a firearm

first shot.

For many, especially activists and Laquan's family, the guilty verdict was some measure

of justice.

We the jury find the defendant Jason Van Dyke guilty of aggravated battery with 16 shots.

Like many other police shootings of young black men in the city of Chicago, there was little

attention on Laquan's killing at first.

The case had been hidden by police, by the city.

The video of the killing was kept from the public until it wasn't.

The officers are responding to somebody with a knife in a crazed condition.

There is going to be a narrative.

That becomes the truth.

Police say they had no choice but to shoot a 17-year-old boy who threatened them with

a knife.

Say this was a clear cut case of self-defense.

There was a machinery in place by which these stories disappeared.

In the judge, he just reared his decision.

I ordered for the video of the Laquan McDonald's to be released in five years as they asked

all I know.
