“The video shows McDonald, 17, carrying a small knife and walking away from officers. Van Dyke opens fire from about 10 feet away. McDonald’s hand jerks out and his body spins around before he collapses to the ground. Van Dyke keeps shooting for as long as 15 seconds — even after the teen falls.

I know that is exactly the problem. Both sides making up lies about what happened when the video would tell the truth. Even more if others hadn’t been deemed inoperable, too far away or “blank”.

We extend trust and leeway to law enforcement officers, but when they violate it, we assume the worst, else they need not lie.

Make entire report and associated information available to any and all to view. Let us remember Chicago sat on an investigation Some Thirteen Months where they had police video of an officer emptying his gun into a man walking away from him empty handed. In other cases, the threat was obvious but the details were withheld to protect privacy. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
