Justice Department to probe Chicago Police patterns
The U S Justice Department is set to launch a broad civil rights investigation into the Chicago Police Department amid protests over a released video of a white officer firing 16 times on black teen Laquan McDonald. The probe follows prior investigations in Baltimore and Ferguson as scrutiny grows on city officials and Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Officer Jason Van Dyke faces first-degree murder charges after the shooting and video release. The city council approved a 5 million settlement for McDonald’s family before a lawsuit was filed.
