Chicago has released footage of the police shooting of black Chicago teenager Cedrick Chatman, hours after a federal judge ordered the city hand over three videos on Thursday.
Two videos, from traffic surveillance cameras, show Cedrick exit a car and take flight on foot. Despite the grainy quality of the footage, two officers can be seen chasing him, one following close into a buildings shadow and the other clearly holding a gun. As Cedrick reaches the corner, and the edge of the images frame, the camera swivels, during which time Cedrick appears to have been struck by a bullet.
His body crumples in the street on the opposite corner, the whole foot chase lasting about 10 seconds.
A second, more distant angle shows Cedrick sprint away and collapse after a passing car and tree partially obscure him from view.

(3,194 posts)3. Too Many Powerful Friends
He has far too much to lose, so he will NEVER resign. His friends and high level connections will see to it that he stays in office through his term.
If this were Joe Shmo, mayor of some podunk town in mid-America, he would probably be gone. But it's Rahm, friend of Barrack, Hillary & Bill, among others. Not to mention all his Chicago connections.
I hope I'm wrong, but he's teflon, and he's not going to let a bunch of protesters dictate what he does. Too much power to let a bunch of marchers tell him what to do.
