Four more Laquan McDonald police dashcam videos released

Source: Chicago Sun Times


But the additional videos do not show the shooting. One, however, shows McDonald bleeding on the ground after being shot.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Chicago Supt. Garry McCarthy was asked why the video released to the media didn’t have audio. He said that it was either a technical issue or it just wasn’t turned on. He said sometimes officers “need to be disciplined if they don’t turn it on at the right circumstance.”

McCarthy said there was never audio for the shooting video.

“No, there was no audio with the tape that I saw, the video I saw. I don’t think that audio does exist,” McCarthy said Tuesday. “. . . There’s supposed to be , and it’s supposed to happen at a couple different instances.

Very, very faintly. Either the microphones were interfered with or the sound on the video file was suppressed in my opinion.

1- he's not rushing anyone
2- he's not close to anyone
3- no attempt at all to talk to him
4- no attempt to use a taser

Just a total lack of police procedure all around

As well as suppression of all this evidence for a year.

The Feds need to take over this investigation.

This stinks to high Heaven.

They've got videos from like 15 different cameras now and ALL of them had the audio off?

That's some bullshit.
