We Cannot Go on Like This': Hillary Clinton Weighs In on Laquan McDonald Case





The family of the black Chicago teen whose videotaped killing by a white police officer stirred nationwide outrage got a shout-out Wednesday from a hometown hero — Hillary Clinton.

But the Democratic presidential candidate also stressed that most police officers are "honorably doing their duty."

"The family of Laquan McDonald and the people of Chicago deserve justice and accountability," Clinton said in a statement a day after the horrific dashboard camera footage of the 17-year-old being gunned down was released, igniting a fresh round of protests in the Windy City.

"As criminal charges proceed in this case, we also have to grapple as a country with broader questions about ensuring that all of our citizens and communities are protected as respected," she said.
