Oak Park police hearing draws mixed views on conduct
The Oak Park police hearing heard critics faulting police for handling a 40 second interval and for tying up investigators.

The elder Shannon dismissed the verdict as proof of racial injustice in Oak Park and supported his son’s account, while the chairman noted the commission cannot initiate investigations.
