Some form of justice might just be served soon. The Chicago Police Department is finally looking to fire 5 of the officers involved in the unjust Laquan McDonald shooting.
The officers who are looking at losing their jobs are officers Jason Van Dyke, who fired the 16 shots into Laquan, Janet Mondragon, Daphne Sebastian, Ricardo Viramontes and Sgt. Stephen Franko. The officers contributed by all giving false reports of what actually happened, but dash cam footage proved completely otherwise. Two other officers were involved in giving false reports, but one stepped down themselves before they could be fired and the other resigned on the day of this announcement.
Superintendent Eddie Johnson initially wanted all 7 officers fired, but this will have to suffice. Officer Jason Van Dyke shot 17 year old Laquan McDonald 16 times and is charged with first degree murder, pleading not guilty.
