Seven Chicago cops to be fired over McDonald fatal shooting
In a move to repair a department scarred by cover ups seven Chicago police officers face firing for filing false reports about the 2014 killing of Laquan McDonald after the inspector general backed the chief's recommendation. The decision follows video evidence contradicting initial accounts and highlights a lingering code of silence in the force. Governor Wolf taps Bruce Beemer to be attorney general in Pennsylvania amid Kane era turmoil. Beemer will lead the 800 member office after Kathleen Kane’s resignation and conviction. A Guantanamo detainee Encep Nurjaman known as Hambali appears in court as the U.S. weighs detention continuity. In South Dakota, Matthew Sandusky calls for mandatory reporting of suspected child abuse at a statewide education conference.
