We are so busy talking about Colin kneeling...

that everyone appears to have forgotten about Chicago officer Jason Van Dyke and his role in the Laquan McDonald killing. 

The fallout over the dashboard-camera video of the white police officer shooting the black teen has caused the most severe crisis for Mayor Rahm Emanuel in his time in office and led to a blistering report by the U.S. Department of Justice that portrayed a broken Police Department in which officers commit misconduct and use excessive force with little fear of repercussions.

The video showed Van Dyke opening fire within seconds of exiting his police SUV as McDonald walked away from police with a knife in his hand in the middle of 41st Street and Pulaski Road shortly before 10 p.m. Oct. 20, 2014.

McDonald emptied his service weapon, striking McDonald 16 times in the scalp, neck, both sides of his chest, back, both arms and his right hand and leg, according to the autopsy report.

Hundreds of pages of Chicago police reports showed that Van Dyke and at least five other officers claimed that the McDonald moved or turned threateningly toward officers, even though video of the shooting showed McDonald walking away.

What a blessing for Rahm these athlete-entertainer sideshow "protests" have been...  #DivideAndConquer  #NeverLetAGoodCrisisGotoWaste
