Storyline


A former Chicago police officer was sentenced Friday to 81 months in jail for fatally shooting a black teenager in 2014.

In October 2018, police officer Jason Van Dyke, who is white, was found guilty of second-degree murder for shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times. The shooting triggered years-long racial tensions in Chicago, the third largest city in the United States. He was also found guilty of 16 counts of aggravated battery with a firearm.

McDonald reportedly broke into a truck on the night of Oct. 20, 2014, and Van Dyke was one of the police officers dispatched to the scene.

The police car's dashcam video, which was made public later, showed that McDonald did carry a knife but was walking away from police when Van Dyke fired 16 shots at the teenager.

After a day-long sentence hearing, the relatives of the victim expressed their disappointment at the relatively short 6-year-9-month sentence, compared with 18 to 20 years prosecutors asked.

And with good behavior, Van Dyke could reportedly serve only half his prison sentence.

On Friday, local black people and social activists gathered outside the court building to call for a heavier sentence for Van Dyke and more efforts to prevent police violence.

"It is very important for the police to change their ways, absolutely. They do little things like they got a camera, they got Tasers and stuff like that, but the relationship between us and them is very tarnished. The police, they have to do a lot of internalization - they have to look deep inside in their hearts and find out who they are as a person and see if they want to continue this cycle of violence that they perpetuate," said demonstrator Aldo.

In a joint statement released after the sentencing, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Police Chief Eddie Johnson said there will be more efforts to bring lasting reform to the Chicago Police Department.

They called on Chicagoans to "work together, listen to each other, and repair relationships that will make Chicago safer and stronger for generations to come".
