But transportation in the 21st century is increasingly about options, and the CTA fully supports and encourages new entries in the marketplace such as bike sharing, ride sharing and car sharing. Fox 32/Dane Placko and Sun-Times/Andy Bloom (Friday): Stories on Blue Line incident Tuesday in which a passenger jumped on the subway tracks to help another passenger that had fallen.

(Possible this weekend) Tribune/David Heinzmann and John Chase: Reporters have been working on a story about advertising that could be sold on the newly launched Ventra app and whether customer data is protected.

No one even knows who the officer is at this point, there's no basis for that, that’s just selling a point. The issue is not the officer's fear it’s the child’s death, shot 16 times. And kind of like the Garner case where they watched the guy choke him to death, and their report did not condemn him.

As cities like Ferguson, Mo., Baltimore and New York have been consumed by fatal encounters involving the local police that have fueled national attention since 2014, this city managed to keep a lower profile. But Chicago now finds itself grappling with the prospect of having its own moment. The city has been ordered to release, within days, a police video of the fatal shooting of a black 17-year-old by a white police officer. Even the officer’s lawyer has described the video, which the city sought for months to block from public view, as “graphic” and “violent” and “difficult to watch at some points.” With the memories of discord in other cities so fresh, leaders in Chicago, which has a history of tension over race and policing, have been holding urgent private talks with community activists. Law enforcement officials are trying to anticipate what response the video may bring, and how best to prepare police forces here for that. And the mayor, Rahm Emanuel, appeared to try to calm the city, taking the unusual steps of condemning the police officer and urging prosecutors to take action in the case before the release of the video. “In accordance with the judge’s ruling, the city will release the video by Nov. 25, which we hope will provide prosecutors time to expeditiously bring their investigation to a conclusion so Chicago can begin to heal,” Mr. Emanuel said Thursday. Around Chicago, the video has become a topic of discussion, even though most people have not seen it. According to a few people who have viewed it, the video shows Laquan McDonald being struck by 16 bullets, some of them hitting him even after his body had fallen to the ground along a street on this city’s southwest side in October 2014. Some of the bullets, an autopsy shows, entered the back of his body. A lawyer for Mr. McDonald’s family said the video showed him moving away from Officer Jason Van Dyke, the policeman who fired all of the shots, while at least five other officers never fired their weapons. Dan Herbert, a lawyer for Officer Van Dyke, said his client believed the shooting was justified because he feared for the safety of himself and his colleagues. Mr. McDonald had a knife, the authorities say, and earlier punctured a squad car’s tire with it and refused to drop it. The officers were approaching him, officials said, after the police got a report that a man with a knife was trying to break into vehicles in a trucking yard. Officer Van Dyke is on administrative duty pending an inquiry by a team that includes the F.B.I., the United States attorney’s office in Chicago and the Cook County state’s attorney’s office. Since Thursday, when a judge ordered the video’s release and set a deadline of Wednesday, many in this city have begun speculating over how and exactly when the release will occur, and what may follow. Some lawyers, officials and activists wondered aloud whether charges — either from the Cook County state’s attorney or a federal grand jury — might still be possible a day or even a few hours before the video’s release, and how an arrest might affect residents’ responses. Prominent Chicago activists said that protests were a foregone conclusion, but that they were not certain yet what form they may take. Charlene A. Carruthers, the national director at the Chicago1 based Black Youth Project 100, said she expected the video’s release, whenever it came, to bolster efforts of her group and others to press for changes to the Police Department. Page May, an organizer with We Charge Genocide, a Chicago group that has accused the police here of systemic misconduct, said she expected the video to awaken more people to what she saw as widespread police abuses. But Ms. May said she had concerns about the video’s release given that Mr. McDonald’s family has expressed reluctance. “The folks that are going to get woke because of this video, we need to welcome them, organize them,” Ms. May said. “The challenge now is how do we organize around this video without adding to the spectacle?” The Rev. Michael Pfleger, a Roman Catholic priest and social activist on Chicago’s South Side, said the police “continue to build mistrust” by not immediately firing Officer Van Dyke and other officers whose actions have resulted in large settlements. In the spring, the city agreed to pay $5 million to the family of Mr. McDonald. Father Pfleger said that protests would be necessary after the video’s release, and that organizers were planning what form those should take. He said officials at City Hall called for peace during a conference call with community leaders on Thursday. He said he had also been invited to a meeting with the police in the coming days. Police officials said Friday that plans for after the video’s release were still being made, and provided few specifics. Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the police department, issued a statement: “As you have seen over the past few years, C.P.D. works tirelessly to protect people’s First Amendment rights, and residents of Chicago have exercised those rights in a peaceful way.” The Rev. Jesse Jackson, whose Rainbow PUSH Coalition is based in Chicago, said he was upset that officials had tried to withhold the video until now. “I know it’s a national disgraceful situation, and it will attract people around the country,” Mr. Jackson said, adding at another point, “My greatest fear is not the protest, but if there is no protest.”     From: Huffman, Lauren Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2015 2:00 PM To: Spector, Stephen; Quinn, Kelley; Klinzman, Grant Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: Re: Social Three hours ago, but Kass' response to a back and forth convo on this topic w/ FOX's Lou Cannellis. Not  surprising, but wanted to make sure that he could spark this sentiment with our press corps on this topic…      John Kass @John_Kass 3h3 hours ago     .@LouCanellis the mayor stalled release of #LaquanMcDonald video He didn't want it out during his election.

WBBM's Mike Krauser reports Rev. Jackson stood at a memorial to young people killed on the streets in the Pullman neighborhood saying he believes Laquan McDonald was murdered by officer Jason Van Dyke and that there was acover-up and he questioned why the investigation by the state's attorney's office has taken over a year. "This kid is shot 16 times, police are still on the job and there have been no firings, there have been no suspensions, so we need to have a police shake-up," Jackson said. He says he hopes people will be civil when asked whether he is concerned about a violent reaction to the video. "The questions that you're asking, is there going to be a riot, like black people are going to riot, rebel, tear up the city but did you not ask the police department about the continued shooting of young black men?" said Diane Latiker of the organizations Kids Off The Block. Jackson said a good start would be the indictment of the officer and those who he says covered for him.

I will send you an update later on this evening. Print and TV Coverage: Following the initial coverage on Thursday evening, media organizations are beginning to shift focus in their coverage of the story. Now coverage reflects commentary from national and local leaders about how the city should react once the video is made public. Most of the commentary from community leaders calls for peace and civility in the wake of the video. However, community leaders – from Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. to Father Michael Pfleger -- are also calling for action and recommending changes be made at the Chicago Police Department and in the community. Media coverage has extended beyond the Chicago outlets. National outlets like CNN, The New York Times, TIME, and others are closely monitoring and covering this story. In their coverage, the national outlets have often tried to put into context how this case is part of the national conversation concerning police abuse and race relations. So far, the coverage has mostly included YOUR statement following the judge’s decision. Noteworthy Coverage: 1 Community Leaders Calling For Calm Ahead of Laquan McDonald Video Release ABC Chicago Leaders in Chicago's African American community are calling for calm ahead of what could be a contentious week, as the city must release a video showing a white Chicago police officer killing an African American teen. Nearly 200 strong they came together Saturday to call for peace. Neither the cold nor the snowy weather was going to stop the men of Alpha Phi Alpha, an African American fraternity which counts many of the city's leaders among its ranks. "We want people to see the positive professional males that are in our community," said Rev. Roosevelt Watkins, Pastors United for Change. Editorial: Chicago will soon see how Laquan McDonald died. Be passionate. Be peaceful Chicago Tribune There is wide concern that the stark video will provoke violent protests in Chicago. But it should be released — should have been months ago. The case illustrates why it's so important for police to make greater use of video, an invaluable tool to prevent police abuses, document when cops handle themselves well, refute false accusations and furnish valuable evidence for criminal inquiries. The Chicago police have a pilot program using body cams and plan to expand it next year. … Van Dyke's lawyer said Friday that the officer handled a dangerous encounter appropriately and that the video doesn't tell the whole story. Maybe he's right. But when it is released, it will give the people of Chicago the opportunity to judge for themselves. They will react passionately, and we hope peacefully. Rev. Jesse Jackson urges 'police shakeup' in response to cop's fatal shooting of Laquan McDonald Chicago Sun-Times The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Saturday he’s hoping for a “police shakeup from top to bottom” after the release of a dashboard-cam video showing a Chicago police officer shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times. Jackson also called on Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez to step down for “failing” to charge the officer involved in the deadly Oct. 20, 2014, shooting near 41st and Kildare in Archer Heights. … 2 “We hope people will be civil and to focus on a remedy and not just reaction,” Jackson said. “I think a major police department shakeup should be a step toward a remedy and relief. I think the indictment of the killer and witnesses would be a major shakeup. The issue should be: There are consequences for killing people in this way.” Jackson said the violence that some anticipate after the release of the video already has happened, saying, “Sixteen times shot is the violence. The quietness in the face of it is violence.” … About two hours after the ruling, Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who had fought the release of the video, put out a written statement in which he reversed course and announced he wouldn’t try to have the decision overturned on appeal. Emanuel said he hopes the video “will provide prosecutors time to expeditiously bring their investigation to a conclusion so Chicago can begin to heal.” Carol Marin: A betrayal of trust in McDonald, Koschman cases Chicago Sun-Times In each case, police argued the dead young man had caused his own death. McDonald by refusing to stop approaching the officer. And Koschman by being the “aggressor.” In each case, the person who killed them, according to police, was acting in “selfdefense.” But in both Koschman and McDonald cases, there were credible allegations that police tried to alter or suppress witness testimony; in each case video from businesses in the area went missing; and in each case the City of Chicago and the police department fought to deny or delay media FOIA requests. In Koschman, Police Supt. Garry McCarthy actually promoted the case supervisor to chief of detectives even though he is still under investigation by the city inspector general for allegedly manufacturing evidence to exonerate the mayor’s nephew. Is there any wonder why citizens distrust government when government keeps the public’s own information out of public view? Chicago braces for release of graphic police shooting video Reuters Community outreach, communications and legal strategy were being planned to try to prevent violent protests when the video is released, according to lawyers, activists and officials. … 3 Police said they were planning for possible protests and would strive to keep them peaceful. … Community activist William Calloway, who had pushed for release of the video, said his organization Christianaire is contacting church leaders and asking them to prepare their congregations. "Regardless of what this tape reveals, we want the community to exercise first amendment rights and demand justice, but to do it peacefully and effectively," Calloway said. Chicago Set for Protests Over Shooting by the Police New York Times But Chicago now finds itself grappling with the prospect of having its own moment. The city has been ordered to release, within days, a police video of the fatal shooting of a black 17-year-old by a white police officer. Even the officer’s lawyer has described the video, which the city sought for months to block from public view, as “graphic” and “violent” and “difficult to watch at some points.” With the memories of discord in other cities so fresh, leaders in Chicago, which has a history of tension over race and policing, have been holding urgent private talks with community activists. Law enforcement officials are trying to anticipate what response the video may bring, and how best to prepare police forces here for that. And the mayor, Rahm Emanuel, appeared to try to calm the city, taking the unusual steps of condemning the police officer and urging prosecutors to take action in the case before the release of the video. … Prominent Chicago activists said that protests were a foregone conclusion, but that they were not certain yet what form they may take. Charlene A. Carruthers, the national director at the Chicago-based Black Youth Project 100, said she expected the video’s release, whenever it came, to bolster efforts of her group and others to press for changes to the Police Department. Page May, an organizer with We Charge Genocide, a Chicago group that has accused the police here of systemic misconduct, said she expected the video to awaken more people to what she saw as widespread police abuses. But Ms. May said she had concerns about the video’s release given that Mr. McDonald’s family has expressed reluctance. “The folks that are going to get woke because of this video, we need to welcome them, organize them,” Ms. May said. “The challenge now is how do we organize around this video without adding to the spectacle?” The Rev. Michael Pfleger, a Roman Catholic priest and social activist on Chicago’s South Side, said the police “continue to build mistrust” by not immediately firing Officer Van Dyke and other officers whose actions have 4 resulted in large settlements. In the spring, the city agreed to pay $5 million to the family of Mr. McDonald. Father Pfleger said that protests would be necessary after the video’s release, and that organizers were planning what form those should take. He said officials at City Hall called for peace during a conference call with community leaders on Thursday. He said he had also been invited to a meeting with the police in the coming days. Mary Mitchell: More than police bullets killed Laquan McDonald Chicago Sun-Times Laquan McDonald was more than another young African-American male who had the misfortune of crossing the path of a brutal Chicago cop. He was a 17-year-old kid who had survived some tough blows in life. You need to understand that before you hear another word about why a police officer needed to shoot this young man 16 times. Any day now, you will see a dashcam video showing the officer pumping 16 bullets into the teenager and can judge for yourself the right or the wrong of the matter. But it is the tragic details of this young man’s life that makes this story so much worse. McDonald’s life was a long, sad, vicious cycle all the way to its violent end. Chicago set to release dashcam video of Laquan McDonald's fatal shooting CNN Emanuel's office has not released details on when or how it plans to release the video. But some in the city are bracing for protests and unrest. John Kass, a columnist for the Chicago Tribune, said the video "could tear Chicago apart." Dean Angelo, the president of the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police, told CNN affiliate WBBM he is concerned protesters from outside the city may converge to "disrupt and cause problems." "This is my city. We all live here," Angelo said. "I'm concerned about the safety of my officers. I'm concerned about the safety of the civilian population. ... I think local people don't want to see their neighborhoods damaged." Social Media: On social media, there is limited momentum thus far regarding the release of the video. A leading hashtag is #LaquanMcDonald but it is not trending. Articles about the video have driven most of the social media interest. 5 There is potential for online organizing to occur later this week. Many students, young members of the community, and community leaders have tweeted about Laquan McDonald, some noting that they are glad the video will be released. Blame has not been assigned to one individual or organizations; instead, people appear to be upset with the entire system – from the CPD, to the Mayor, prosecutors, culture, and others.

Print and TV Coverage: Following the initial coverage on Thursday evening, media organizations are beginning to shift focus in their coverage of the story. Now coverage reflects commentary from national and local leaders about how the city should react once the video is made public. Most of the commentary from community leaders calls for peace and civility in the wake of the video. However, community leaders – from Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. to Father Michael Pfleger -- are also calling for action and recommending changes be made at the Chicago Police Department and in the community. Media coverage has extended beyond the Chicago outlets. National outlets like CNN, The New York Times, TIME, and others are closely monitoring and covering this story. In their coverage, the national outlets have often tried to put into context how this case is part of the national conversation concerning police abuse and race relations. So far, the coverage has mostly included YOUR statement following the judge’s decision. Noteworthy Coverage: Community Leaders Calling For Calm Ahead of Laquan McDonald Video Release 1 ABC Chicago Leaders in Chicago's African American community are calling for calm ahead of what could be a contentious week, as the city must release a video showing a white Chicago police officer killing an African American teen. Nearly 200 strong they came together Saturday to call for peace. Neither the cold nor the snowy weather was going to stop the men of Alpha Phi Alpha, an African American fraternity which counts many of the city's leaders among its ranks. "We want people to see the positive professional males that are in our community," said Rev. Roosevelt Watkins, Pastors United for Change. Editorial: Chicago will soon see how Laquan McDonald died.

Many of you may have questions about this incident, the criminal investigation, and/or the City’s preparedness for any protests that may occur after the video is released. The incident occurred on October 20, 2014. Within hours of the incident, our Independent Police Review Authority initiated an investigation. Several days later, IPRA sent the evidence in the case, including the video, to prosecutors who initiated a criminal investigation. Once the prosecutors initiated their criminal investigation, the City was required to suspend its administration investigation. The criminal investigation is being led by Cook County States Attorney Anita Alvarez and U.S. Attorney Zach Fardon, who will decide whether this officer will face criminal charges, and the City is cooperating fully. Last week a court ordered the City to release the video of the incident by November 25th in response to a FOIA request, and we will comply with that order. Up to this point, the City had declined to release the video so as not to interfere with an active criminal investigation. Please rest assured that we are working hard to reach out to community stakeholders, activists, elected officials, media and others in advance of the video release. Over the next day, the Mayor will be meeting personally with many leaders and activists to clarify the facts of this case and seek their assistance in making sure our City reacts peacefully. Please feel free to share this message, including the facts of the case, with your employees as you see fit. 1 If you have questions about this week’s events, do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.

that Laquan was "wielding a knife". He was carrying a knife. "Wielding" suggests he was threatening officers with it. He  was not. Second, in the eleventh paragraph, in reference to the prosecutors' investigation, I would not say "their  investigation is not yet complete." For all we know, it is, and, if in fact, the State issues an indictment this week we do  not want to suggest their investigation is incomplete.

thought Ken's point on our call this morning that the Mayor needs to make specific asks of these leaders is right. We

Many of you may have questions about this incident, the criminal investigation, and/or the City’s preparedness for any protests that may occur after the video is released. The incident occurred on October 20, 2014. Within hours of the incident, our Independent Police Review Authority initiated an investigation. Several days later, IPRA sent the evidence in the case, including the video, to prosecutors who initiated a criminal investigation. Once the prosecutors initiated their criminal investigation, the City was required to suspend its administration investigation. The criminal investigation is being led by Cook County States Attorney Anita Alvarez and U.S. Attorney Zach Fardon, who will decide whether this officer will face criminal charges, and the City is cooperating fully. Last week a court ordered the City to release the video of the incident by November 25th in response to a FOIA request, and we will comply with that order. Up to this point, the City had declined to release the video so as not to interfere with an active criminal investigation. Please rest assured that we are working hard to reach out to community stakeholders, activists, elected officials, media and others in advance of the video release. Over the next day, the Mayor will be meeting personally with many leaders and activists to clarify the facts of this case and seek their assistance in making sure our City reacts peacefully. Please feel free to share this message, including the facts of the case, with your employees as you see fit. If you have questions about this week’s events, do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.

Given the seriousness of this incident, the Mayor asked that I keep you updated on the status of the investigation into the officer’s conduct and the next steps to expect. As the news coverage has also reported, there was video of this incident captured by the dashboard camera inside a responding police car. That video has been a key piece of evidence in the criminal investigation into the officer’s actions. Last week, in response to a Freedom of Information lawsuit, a Cook County judge ordered the City to release the video by November 25th and we will comply. In the meantime, the officer involved has been stripped of his police powers as the criminal investigation continues. However, existing rules prevent the Chicago Police Department from taking any further actions until the criminal investigation is complete. As the Mayor has stated many times, the actions of this officer do not in any way represent the values of the Chicago Police Department or the values of the City of Chicago. It is our hope that the justice system uncovers all of the facts in this case so that appropriate actions can be taken against this officer to hold him accountable for his actions. On behalf of the Mayor I want to thank you for your extra work during this very difficult time. We recognize the serious and disturbing nature of this incident and trust that the justice system will bring all of the facts to light so that our city can begin the healing process.

In this case unfortunately, it appears an officer violated that trust at every level. As a result, the city’s Independent Police Review Authority promptly sent this case and the evidence to state and federal prosecutors who have been investigating it for almost a year. In accordance with the judge’s ruling the City will release the video by November 25, which we hope will provide prosecutors time to expeditiously bring their investigation to a conclusion so Chicago can begin to heal." Brief Facts and Timeline for the Incident and Investigation  On October 20, 2014 at 41st and Pulaski, a Chicago police officer shot and killed a juvenile, Laquan McDonald, who was wielding a knife.  The Independent Police Review Authority (IPRA), a civilian independent agency, is charged with investigating all officer-involved shootings. IPRA opened its investigation into this incident within hours of the shooting. Between Oct. 20 and Oct. 28, IPRA interviewed witnesses and collected evidence.  For every officer-involved shooting, IPRA sends the evidence to the Cook County State’s Attorney so that state prosecutors can determine whether to pursue a criminal investigation. On Oct. 29, IPRA sent the evidence in this case, including the dash camera video, to the Cook County States Attorney’s Office. The evidence was also later shared with the FBI and the Office of the U.S. Attorney as prosecutors initiated state and federal criminal investigation. Per standard practice, IPRA was then required to suspend its administrative investigation so as not to interfere with the criminal investigation.  On Oct. 29, the officer was stripped of his police powers and remains on desk duty. Due to the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) collective bargaining agreement, the City cannot take further action regarding the officer’s employment until the investigation is complete.  For almost a year the offices of the Cook County States Attorney and the U.S. Attorney have been investigating the incident and will make a decision about whether to file criminal charges.  Once the criminal investigation is complete, IPRA will resume its administrative investigation. Q&A Q: Why wouldn’t the city release the video? A: The video is evidence in an active criminal investigation and a grand jury has been convened to determine whether criminal charges should be brought. We did not want to do anything that might interfere with the ongoing investigation. For example, releasing a video during a pending investigation has the potential to compromise eyewitness testimony because witnesses may adjust their testimony to fit what they or others perceive in the video. Not releasing evidence during an ongoing criminal investigation is consistent with the longstanding practice of federal, state and local law enforcement authorities. As we stated months ago, the City planned to release the video once the investigation had concluded. Q: Why didn’t the City appeal the court’s decision compelling the City to release the video? A: Our intent was always to release the video once the investigation was concluded. Now that a court has compelled the City to release the video by November 25th, we hope the prosecutors will have enough time to bring their investigation to a conclusion and decide whether to file charges against the officer. Q: What is the status of IPRA’s investigation? A: IPRA started its investigation immediately after the shooting. After collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses, IPRA sent the evidence to state and federal prosecutors who initiated a criminal investigation. Once the criminal investigation started, per standard practice, IPRA had to suspend its investigation so as not to interfere with the criminal proceedings. Q: Why is this police officer still employed by CPD and collecting a paycheck? A: The officer involved has been stripped of his police powers and is assigned to desk duty. While the Chicago Police Department can strip an officer of his or her police powers pending a criminal investigation, under the FOP collective bargaining agreement the City cannot take further action until the investigation is complete.

Wentworth - 2nd District precinct Who: Young black organizers from BYP100, Fearless Leading by the Youth, Assata’s Daughters, #LetUsBreathe collective, We Charge Genocide, Black Lives Matter: Chicago, and other grassroots collectives Young Black Organizers Decline Private Meeting with Mayor to Discuss the Video of the Execution of Laquan McDonald CHICAGO-- Prior to the release of dash cam footage of a white Chicago police officer shooting 17 year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times, the Mayor's office is reaching out to meet with various community leaders on Monday. Young black organizers have declined the offer to meet with Rahm’s administration to discuss the video and are focusing on reaching out to the people who are directly impacted by the occupation of militarized police and community disinvestment. Instead of attending a meeting at City Hall, the collective of young black organizers and activist will hold a press conference following the court appearance of 60+ people who were arrested protesting the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference that was hosted in Chicago last month. The Mayor’s office is calling on community “leaders” to control Black people’s response to the execution recorded on the dashcam video to be released. It was important to deny this invitation to meet because we believe that the community has a right to respond as it sees fit. The city historically responds to peaceful 1 demonstrations violently and recklessly. We have no faith that the same Mayor that allowed people to starve for 34 days over a school, will be accountable to black people just because we respond calmly to a documented hate crime committed by a Chicago police officer. We also believe that leaders do not reserve the right to police people’s emotions. Our responsibility is to organize public energy into impact.The people of this city deserve more transparency in meetings with the Mayor’s office. We will decline any invite to meet with the Mayor’s office privately. The Mayor and Superintendent Gary McCarthy need to be present at a public meeting that is centered around black people and the effects of militarized police occupation. We also demand that the Chicago Police Department refrain from responding to traumatized young black people with more violence. The presence of militarized police in riot gear incites people to riot. Indicting cops does not change the policies that promote the violence and trauma inherent in the Chicago Police Department. Chicago has more police officers per person than any other city. Chicago police murder more civilians than any other police force in the nation. CPD has spent more than $500 Million over the past 10 years in settlements for police misconduct. Mayor Rahm Emanuel has fundamentally bankrupt public education to bankroll militarized police occupation and terrorism. As Black teachers are losing their jobs and more schools in poor communities are closing, police presence is increasing. Yet, there has been no positive change against community violence while state violence continues to persist as well--both claiming the lives of more young people each year. The purpose of this press conference is for young, Black activists and organizers that were arrested for protesting police violence last month to call young people to action and participate in opportunities to connect people to each other and outlets for solutions. We want to encourage people to find hope in each other as we collectively organize against the culture of white supremacy that seeks to systematically destroy our communities. In this moment, we must lean on each other, not the people and institutions that deny our right to life as black people. We see these institutions and the people that represent them as the common factor to state and interpersonal violence. We reject the myth of “black on black” crime and encourage mainstream media and consumers of media to focus on the humanity and life of Laquan McDonald and his family. Young black organizers will be creating and hosting opportunities for people to take action, process, and fight for change as we are terrorized by the realities of white supremacy.     From: Quinn, Kelley Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 10:46 AM To: Ewing, Clothilde; Collins, Adam; Mitchell, Eileen; Spielfogel, David; Rendina, Michael; Deal, Joe; Rountree, Janey; Patton, Stephen; Bennett, Kenneth Subject: Re: Today's press I think this is good. Anyone else? Literally getting slammed over here.     From: Ewing, Clothilde  Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 10:44 AM  To: Collins, Adam; Mitchell, Eileen; Spielfogel, David; Rendina, Michael; Deal, Joe; Quinn, Kelley; Rountree, Janey;  Patton, Stephen; Bennett, Kenneth  Subject: RE: Today's press         Slight suggested edit:   2  As we regularly do on important topics, the Mayor and other administration officials are meeting with a number  of community leaders and faith leaders today to discuss the release of the video. It will be an open dialogue to  discuss the tragedy that took place last October, the actions of the officer that remain under criminal  investigation, who appears to have violated the public’s trust and the values of thousands of our officers, but also  the criminal investigation and the path forward for Chicago.     From: Collins, Adam Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 10:36 AM To: Mitchell, Eileen; Spielfogel, David; Ewing, Clothilde; Rendina, Michael; Deal, Joe; Quinn, Kelley; Rountree, Janey; Patton, Stephen; Bennett, Kenneth Subject: RE: Today's press     Looping back on this. We are getting a lot of calls on this, locally and nationally.        From: Collins, Adam Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 10:10 AM To: Mitchell, Eileen (Eileen.Mitchell@cityofchicago.org); Spielfogel, David; Ewing, Clothilde; Rendina, Michael; 'Joe Deal (Joe.Deal@cityofchicago.org)'; Quinn, Kelley; Rountree, Janey; Patton, Stephen; Bennett, Kenneth Subject: Today's press     Hey all‐     We’ve already gotten a bunch of media requests about the meetings this afternoon (local and national TVs, along with  Fran). I would expect more, and we’ll probably have a few reporters camp out up here looking to talk to participants as  they leave. Here’s a draft statement we could use today. Let me know what you think:   As we regularly do on important topics, the Mayor and other administration officials are meeting with a number  of community leaders and faith leaders today to discuss the release of the video. It will be an open dialogue to  discuss not only the officer, who appears to have violated the public’s trust and the values of thousands of our  officers, but also the criminal investigation and the path forward for Chicago.     Additionally, we are getting a lot of calls about the timing of the release of the video. Here’s who I know has reached out  to either us or CPD already today on that: CNN, MSNBC, ABC national, CBS national, NBC national. I think we should stick  to the point we’ve been saying:   We will make sure everyone has an appropriate heads up well before the video is released.          This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

Wentworth - 2nd District precinct Who: Young black organizers from BYP100, Fearless Leading by the Youth, Assata’s Daughters, #LetUsBreathe collective, We Charge Genocide, Black Lives Matter: Chicago, and other grassroots collectives Young Black Organizers Decline Private Meeting with Mayor to Discuss the Video of the Execution of Laquan McDonald CHICAGO-- Prior to the release of dash cam footage of a white Chicago police officer shooting 17 year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times, the Mayor's office is reaching out to meet with various community leaders on Monday. Young black organizers have declined the offer to meet with Rahm’s administration to discuss the video and are focusing on reaching out to the people who are directly impacted by the occupation of militarized police and community disinvestment. Instead of attending a meeting at City Hall, the collective of young 1 black organizers and activist will hold a press conference following the court appearance of 60+ people who were arrested protesting the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference that was hosted in Chicago last month. The Mayor’s office is calling on community “leaders” to control Black people’s response to the execution recorded on the dashcam video to be released. It was important to deny this invitation to meet because we believe that the community has a right to respond as it sees fit. The city historically responds to peaceful demonstrations violently and recklessly. We have no faith that the same Mayor that allowed people to starve for 34 days over a school, will be accountable to black people just because we respond calmly to a documented hate crime committed by a Chicago police officer.

Quick question, do you know if there will be any type of Media Availability regarding this?:    Mayor to meet with activists ahead of Laquan McDonald video release  Updated 5 mins ago   CHICAGO (WLS) --   Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel will meet privately Monday with ministers and community activists about the dashcam video of a police officer shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, ahead of the video's release. The meeting will be held at the mayor's office in City Hall at 3:30 p.m.    A Cook County judge ruled on Nov. 19 that the Chicago Police Department had to release the graphic video by Wednesday, Nov. 25.    According to those who have seen it, the video from Oct. 20, 2014, shows McDonald walking away from police when one officer opened fire. His back was turned towards the white officer when he was shot 16 times. Five other responding officers showed restraint in the video. McDonald had a small knife.    The officer who shot McDonald is still on the job on desk duty while the city completes its investigation into the shooting.    One group of young black organizers affiliated with several grassroots organizations, including Black Lives Matter: Chicago, declined the mayor's meeting offer.    Nearly 200 community leaders called for peace Saturday as the city prepares for the video's release. Many fear the video might spark riots similar to those seen in other parts of the country.  1   Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez says a decision is expected this week on whether on chare the officer in McDonald's shooting. She says she is not opposing the release of the video.      Sonia Garcia Assignment Desk Manager News Univision Chicago 541 N.

Ironically, before a wrongful death lawsuit was even filed by McDonald’s family — the Chicago City Council unanimously  voted to approve a $5 million settlement with them.   1 ∞Backstory: On Oct. 20, 2014, the incident resul ng in McDonald’s death began when a report to 911 claimed a knife  wielding man, McDonald, who was acting erratically — had threatened the complainant — and was attempting to break  into vehicles in an Archer Heights trucking yard.  Two police officers, responding to the incident, ordered McDonald to drop the 4‐inch folding knife, which he  subsequently used to puncture a tire on one of the squad cars. McDonald, a ward of the state whose mother was in the  process of seeking custody of him, reportedly ignored the warning.  While jogging away from the officers — and still wielding a knife, McDonald’s erratic behavior resulted in other police  officers arriving at the scene — as well as a request for a taser.  Subsequently, a squad car equipped with a dashboard camera also arrived. The video purportedly shows Van Dyke’s  marked SUV police vehicle pulling in front of the teen, who then veered into traffic.   At some point Van Dyke exited his car with his gun drawn and opened fire on McDonald, and pumped 16 bullets into his  body. An autopsy report purportedly showed McDonald had PCP in his system when killed. Several other officers on the  scene did not open fire.  A troubled teen, McDonald had no adult criminal record, but he had reportedly been arrested on juvenile complaints.   Attorney Daniel Q. Herbert who is representing officer Van Dyke, has insisted his clients actions were justified and within  the police department guidelines. He could not be reached immediately for comment Monday.  According to Independent Police Review Authority records, since 2006 Van Dyke has received a total of 17 citizen  complaints, including three complaints within a four‐year span involving excessive force‐related allegations. He was also  accused for making racial remarks.      ‐‐‐‐‐Original Message‐‐‐‐‐  From: Spector, Stephen   Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 2:49 PM  To: Faulman, Mike; Bennett, Kenneth; Rountree, Janey; Collier, Laurie  Cc: Magana, Jasmine; Castro, Veronica  Subject: RE: Community mtg    FYI ‐‐ All TV station cameras are lined up outside the 5th floor elevators.    Let me know how I can be helpful.    ‐‐‐‐‐Original Message‐‐‐‐‐  From: Faulman, Mike   Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 2:46 PM  To: Bennett, Kenneth; Rountree, Janey; Collier, Laurie  Cc: Magana, Jasmine; Castro, Veronica; Spector, Stephen  Subject: Community mtg    Hello all  We will be late to the meeting since we are still here then doing a gaggle.    How many folks do we have there? Any press outside?    We will likely be in the meeting between 3‐315 pm      ________________________________  This e‐mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain  legally privileged and/or confidential information. If you are not the intended recipient of this e‐mail (or the person  responsible for delivering this document to the intended recipient), you are hereby notified that any dissemination,  distribution, printing or copying of this e‐mail, and any attachment thereto, is strictly prohibited. If you have received  2 this e‐mail in error, please respond to the individual sending the message, and permanently delete the original and any  copy of any e‐mail and printout thereof.    3 From: Sent: To: Subject: Madhani, Aamer Monday, November 23, 2015 3:49 PM Collins, Adam RE: Conference call on Laquan McDonald video Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged Hey Adam,    So Andy Thayer is saying the call this morning was not a dialogue. He said the mayor spoke his piece and did not take  questions. Is this correct?    Aamer    From: Collins, Adam [mailto:Adam.Collins@cityofchicago.org]   Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 12:01 PM  To: Madhani, Aamer; Quinn, Kelley  Subject: RE: Conference call on Laquan McDonald video    He’s meeting with community leaders, but there is no press component. Here's something you can use on the meetings,  if you wish. Attributable to Kelley Quinn    As we regularly do on important topics, the Mayor and other administration officials are meeting with a number of  community and faith leaders today to discuss the release of the video. It will be an open dialogue to discuss the tragedy  that took place last October, the actions of the officer that remain under criminal investigation, and the path forward for  Chicago.      From: Madhani, Aamer [mailto:amadhani@usatoday.com] Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 11:59 AM To: Quinn, Kelley;

Most of the reporting has noted that you called the shooting “hideous.” The reporting also notes that you said today that you have not seen the video. Furthermore, coverage now includes commentary from community leaders that you met with today. Some voices have been helpful and others have been unhelpful, like Rev. Ira Acree who said that protests are “imminent.” Media coverage continues to extend beyond the Chicago outlets. Media organizations such as Ebony Magazine, Vox.com, the Associated Press, Teen Vogue, CNN and others are continuing to cover the events. Noteworthy Coverage: Sneed exclusive: Officer who shot Laquan McDonald to be charged Tuesday Chicago Sun-Times Sneed has learned a criminal probe launched by Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez into the shooting death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald is expected to result in criminal charges Tuesday against 37-year-old Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke. Sneed hears rumbles murder charges were on the table. The shocker: If a murder charge is placed against Officer Van Dyke, it will be the first time in Chicago history an “on duty” police officer was charged with such a crime. Decision on charges in Laquan McDonald case coming Tuesday: source WGN TV Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez will make an announcement Tuesday about whether or not a white Chicago police officer will be charged in the shooting of a black teenager, a source tells WGN. Two ministers invited to the meeting Monday afternoon say they think Emanuel is going to ask them to call for calm. Ira Acree and Marshall Hatch say blacks in the city are upset about the shooting and the city’s refusal for several months to release the video. Pfleger Tells Flock to Block Mag Mile On Friday to Protest Laquan McDonald DNAInfo "If you really want to make a statement: Black Friday is coming up. The number one business day," Pfleger said. "Don’t shop on Black Friday and go down to Michigan Avenue and sit down in the street and block the street on Michigan Avenue with civil disobedience peacefully, and say 'business as usual can’t go on while our children are dying.'" The call for protest came a few days after a judge ruled the city must release dashcam video from last year showing Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting McDonald, a 17-year-old with a knife, 16 times. The video will be released by Wednesday, prompting Mayor Rahm Emanuel and other officials to brace for the subsequent outcry. … Despite Pfleger's remarks, a representative of St. Sabina said no protest was "officially" being organized when asked Monday by DNAinfo. Emanuel calls Laquan McDonald shooting 'hideous,' urges peaceful response Sun-Times Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Monday described a white police officer’s decision to fire 16 shots into the body of black teenager Laquan McDonald as “hideous” with “no justification,” even though the mayor claimed he has not seen the dashboard camera video a judge has ordered the city to release. Emanuel passed judgment on the actions of Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke as he urged Chicagoans to engage in peaceful protests in response to the video. “This officer didn’t uphold the law. In my view, he took the law into his own hands. He didn’t build the trust we want to see. And he wasn’t about providing safety and security. So at every point, he violated what we entrust,” Emanuel said. Emanuel Meeting Ministers to Discuss Police Shooting Video Associated Press But Hatch and the Rev. Ira Acree said it is a rare occurrence and shows the mayor is concerned there might be violence. "We have been trying to meet with the mayor since the beginning of the year to talk about community relations and his staff asks for a letter and says 'We'll get back to you,' but they never do," Acree said. Hatch said: "This has the feeling of them scrambling." MRE to meet with community leaders regarding Laquan McDonald video ABC7 News at 5PM 2 ANCHOR: First the call for calm as we await the expected release a video showing a Chicago police officer shooting a teenager 16 times. Mayor Rahm Emanuel has been meeting with ministers and community leaders today. Rob Elgas joins us live from City Hall with the latest on that story. Rob. ELGAS: Moments ago, people who sat with the mayor shared what they talked about. GREEN: He let a lot of us have our voices heard. I think we have a lot of work to do. I don't think that one meeting brought a lot of solutions to the table. ELGAS: Reverend Acree just addressed the media. ACREE: This is so much bigger than one police officer much there must be a change of culture, and it an opportune moment for the mayor to speak up, and an opportune moment to be shakeup and bring true diversity in the police department so that many of our neighborhoods will not look like occupied forces but have people who look like them, protecting and serving their communities. Emanuel condemns 'hideous' actions of police officer in shooting video Chicago Tribune Emanuel told the participants that his call was to ensure that "everybody has similar information and also that we all, in my view, play a role as stake-holders in our city and in our respective communities throughout our city." He asked them to help ensure that any protests remain peaceful when the video is released. But Emanuel did not take questions, and there was no attempt to engage in a dialogue during the six-minute call. "Any descriptions I've read of this incident, to any person, regardless if you're the mayor or just an individual, it would shock you, because it's basically not only a person taking the law into their own hands, but they don't have a measure and are not using the judgment that is expected," Emanuel said on the call, which the Tribune gained access to through one of the participants. Rahm Meets With Leaders Ahead of 'Disturbing' Laquan McDonald Video Release DNAInfo The mayor scheduled meetings Monday with community and religious leaders and African-American aldermen ahead of the release of the controversial and potentially explosive police dashcam video showing the October 2014 shooting death of Laquan McDonald. Chicago Mayor Calls for Meeting With Activists Ahead of LaQuan McDonald Video Release Ebony Magazine Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is calling for a meeting with community leaders, ministers and activists before the city releases dash cam video of a Chicago police officer fatally shooting a Black teenager 16 times at close range. 17-year-old LaQuan McDonald was killed last year. The city has settled with his family, but a freelance journalist sued to have the footage released. Police shot a Chicago teen 16 times. Now they’ve been ordered to release the footage. Vox.com 3 Still, police brutality among black men in particular has remained consistent. According to Chicago’s Independent Police Review Authority, local police shot 50 people last year, of which 39 were black, seven were Hispanic, four were white, and one was of an unknown race. After an information inquiry and civil case resulted in the release of data related to police brutality in Chicago last year, an alarming pattern surfaced. While a majority of the 12,000 CPD officers have been flagged for fewer than two overall misconduct complaints, 662 police officers were repeat offenders, individually cited for 10 or more complaints each. According to an investigation of this data and other information by the organization Truthout, a nonprofit progressive news organization, last year showed 500 local officers with more than 10 misconduct complaints between 2001 and 2006 were still serving on the force as of the report’s publication. Social Media: On social media, there is limited momentum thus far regarding the release of the video. A leading hashtag is #LaquanMcDonald but it is not trending. Articles about the video have driven most of the social media interest. There is potential for online organizing to occur later this week. Many students, young members of the community, and community leaders have tweeted about Laquan McDonald, some noting that they are glad the video will be released. Blame has not been assigned to one individual or organizations; instead, people appear to be upset with the entire system – from the CPD, to the Mayor, prosecutors, culture, and others.

Telling. FACEBOOK State Senator Kwame Raoul: When I learned that a video of Laquan McDonald’s final moments was to be released to the public, I knew that many would fear its impact, remembering the self-destruction oppressed communities elsewhere have experienced following acts of police brutality and excessive force. I believe we can do better in Chicago. But I am not calling for calm. There’s nothing to be calm about. Instead, I’m calling for sustained, focused, constructive outrage that demands full accountability but doesn’t destroy community. Because of legislation I advanced earlier this year, we now have legal protocols in place that mandate independent investigations of police-involved deaths, expose the misdeeds of rogue cops so they don’t quietly move from one department to another, require improved officer training on bias and the use of force and establish funding and protocols for the use of body cameras. But I know it’s not enough. Everyone responsible in this atrocity – not only Officer Van Dyke, but any individual who participated in a cover-up that delayed justice for Laquan McDonald and his family – must be held accountable. We should direct our outrage toward asking our local prosecutor whether it would have taken 13 months to resolve this case if the video had shown a civilian committing the same act. We should ask why Office Van Dyke was still on the beat after 17 public complaints were filed against him and the City paid half a million dollars to settle allegations that he had used excessive force. We should question the ability of Chicago’s independent police review authority, which has recently come under scrutiny from the Better Government Association, to do its job with integrity. And as we call on our neighbors to abandon the no-snitch code, in our outrage we demand the same of law enforcement. Watch the video. Don’t be destructive. But don’t be calm.

Most of the reporting has noted that you called the shooting “hideous.” The reporting also notes that you said today that you have not seen the video. Furthermore, coverage now includes commentary from community leaders that you met with today. Some voices have been helpful and others have been unhelpful, like Rev. Ira Acree who said that protests are “imminent.” Media coverage continues to extend beyond the Chicago outlets. Media organizations such as Ebony Magazine, Vox.com, the Associated Press, Teen Vogue, CNN and others are continuing to cover the events. Noteworthy Coverage: Sneed exclusive: Officer who shot Laquan McDonald to be charged Tuesday Chicago Sun-Times Sneed has learned a criminal probe launched by Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez into the shooting death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald is expected to result in criminal charges Tuesday against 37-year-old Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke. Sneed hears rumbles murder charges were on the table. The shocker: If a murder charge is placed against Officer Van Dyke, it will be the first time in Chicago history an “on duty” police officer was charged with such a crime. Decision on charges in Laquan McDonald case coming Tuesday: source WGN TV Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez will make an announcement Tuesday about whether or not a white Chicago police officer will be charged in the shooting of a black teenager, a source tells WGN. 1 Two ministers invited to the meeting Monday afternoon say they think Emanuel is going to ask them to call for calm. Ira Acree and Marshall Hatch say blacks in the city are upset about the shooting and the city’s refusal for several months to release the video. Pfleger Tells Flock to Block Mag Mile On Friday to Protest Laquan McDonald DNAInfo "If you really want to make a statement: Black Friday is coming up. The number one business day," Pfleger said. "Don’t shop on Black Friday and go down to Michigan Avenue and sit down in the street and block the street on Michigan Avenue with civil disobedience peacefully, and say 'business as usual can’t go on while our children are dying.'" The call for protest came a few days after a judge ruled the city must release dashcam video from last year showing Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting McDonald, a 17-year-old with a knife, 16 times. The video will be released by Wednesday, prompting Mayor Rahm Emanuel and other officials to brace for the subsequent outcry. … Despite Pfleger's remarks, a representative of St. Sabina said no protest was "officially" being organized when asked Monday by DNAinfo. Emanuel calls Laquan McDonald shooting 'hideous,' urges peaceful response Sun-Times Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Monday described a white police officer’s decision to fire 16 shots into the body of black teenager Laquan McDonald as “hideous” with “no justification,” even though the mayor claimed he has not seen the dashboard camera video a judge has ordered the city to release. Emanuel passed judgment on the actions of Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke as he urged Chicagoans to engage in peaceful protests in response to the video. “This officer didn’t uphold the law. In my view, he took the law into his own hands. He didn’t build the trust we want to see. And he wasn’t about providing safety and security. So at every point, he violated what we entrust,” Emanuel said. Emanuel Meeting Ministers to Discuss Police Shooting Video Associated Press But Hatch and the Rev. Ira Acree said it is a rare occurrence and shows the mayor is concerned there might be violence. "We have been trying to meet with the mayor since the beginning of the year to talk about community relations and his staff asks for a letter and says 'We'll get back to you,' but they never do," Acree said. Hatch said: "This has the feeling of them scrambling." MRE to meet with community leaders regarding Laquan McDonald video 2 ABC7 News at 5PM ANCHOR: First the call for calm as we await the expected release a video showing a Chicago police officer shooting a teenager 16 times. Mayor Rahm Emanuel has been meeting with ministers and community leaders today. Rob Elgas joins us live from City Hall with the latest on that story. Rob. ELGAS: Moments ago, people who sat with the mayor shared what they talked about. GREEN: He let a lot of us have our voices heard. I think we have a lot of work to do. I don't think that one meeting brought a lot of solutions to the table. ELGAS: Reverend Acree just addressed the media. ACREE: This is so much bigger than one police officer much there must be a change of culture, and it an opportune moment for the mayor to speak up, and an opportune moment to be shakeup and bring true diversity in the police department so that many of our neighborhoods will not look like occupied forces but have people who look like them, protecting and serving their communities. Emanuel condemns 'hideous' actions of police officer in shooting video Chicago Tribune Emanuel told the participants that his call was to ensure that "everybody has similar information and also that we all, in my view, play a role as stake-holders in our city and in our respective communities throughout our city." He asked them to help ensure that any protests remain peaceful when the video is released. But Emanuel did not take questions, and there was no attempt to engage in a dialogue during the six-minute call. "Any descriptions I've read of this incident, to any person, regardless if you're the mayor or just an individual, it would shock you, because it's basically not only a person taking the law into their own hands, but they don't have a measure and are not using the judgment that is expected," Emanuel said on the call, which the Tribune gained access to through one of the participants. Rahm Meets With Leaders Ahead of 'Disturbing' Laquan McDonald Video Release DNAInfo The mayor scheduled meetings Monday with community and religious leaders and African-American aldermen ahead of the release of the controversial and potentially explosive police dashcam video showing the October 2014 shooting death of Laquan McDonald. Chicago Mayor Calls for Meeting With Activists Ahead of LaQuan McDonald Video Release Ebony Magazine Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is calling for a meeting with community leaders, ministers and activists before the city releases dash cam video of a Chicago police officer fatally shooting a Black teenager 16 times at close range. 17-year-old LaQuan McDonald was killed last year. The city has settled with his family, but a freelance journalist sued to have the footage released. Police shot a Chicago teen 16 times. Now they’ve been ordered to release the footage. 3 Vox.com Still, police brutality among black men in particular has remained consistent. According to Chicago’s Independent Police Review Authority, local police shot 50 people last year, of which 39 were black, seven were Hispanic, four were white, and one was of an unknown race. After an information inquiry and civil case resulted in the release of data related to police brutality in Chicago last year, an alarming pattern surfaced. While a majority of the 12,000 CPD officers have been flagged for fewer than two overall misconduct complaints, 662 police officers were repeat offenders, individually cited for 10 or more complaints each. According to an investigation of this data and other information by the organization Truthout, a nonprofit progressive news organization, last year showed 500 local officers with more than 10 misconduct complaints between 2001 and 2006 were still serving on the force as of the report’s publication. Social Media: On social media, there is limited momentum thus far regarding the release of the video. A leading hashtag is #LaquanMcDonald but it is not trending. Articles about the video have driven most of the social media interest. There is potential for online organizing to occur later this week. Many students, young members of the community, and community leaders have tweeted about Laquan McDonald, some noting that they are glad the video will be released. Blame has not been assigned to one individual or organizations; instead, people appear to be upset with the entire system – from the CPD, to the Mayor, prosecutors, culture, and others.

Jamil Smith (The New Republic reporter): Laquan McDonald has been dead for more than a year, and it took the anticipated release of a video to get the investigation moving. Telling. FACEBOOK State Senator Kwame Raoul: When I learned that a video of Laquan McDonald’s final moments was to be released to the public, I knew that many would fear its impact, remembering the self-destruction oppressed communities elsewhere have experienced following acts of police brutality and excessive force. I believe we can do better in Chicago. But I am not calling for calm. There’s nothing to be calm about. Instead, I’m calling for sustained, focused, constructive outrage that demands full accountability but doesn’t destroy community. Because of legislation I advanced earlier this year, we now have legal protocols in place that mandate independent investigations of police-involved deaths, expose the misdeeds of rogue cops so they don’t quietly move from one department to another, require improved officer training on bias and the use of force and establish funding and protocols for the use of body cameras. But I know it’s not enough. Everyone responsible in this atrocity – not only Officer Van Dyke, but any individual who participated in a cover-up that delayed justice for Laquan McDonald and his family – must be held accountable. We should direct our outrage toward asking our local prosecutor whether it would have taken 13 months to resolve this case if the video had shown a civilian committing the same act. We should ask why Office Van Dyke was still on the beat after 17 public complaints were filed against him and the City paid half a million dollars to settle allegations that he had used excessive force. We should question the ability of Chicago’s independent police review authority, which has recently come under scrutiny from the Better Government Association, to do its job with integrity. And as we call on our neighbors to abandon the no-snitch code, in our outrage we demand the same of law enforcement. Watch the video. Don’t be destructive. But don’t be calm.

Over the past few days, we've been asked by principals and teachers for help in how they should talk about it with their students - since the kids are all talking about it. They want to make sure they're having productive conversations and at a minimum are able to properly deal with questions that may arise. Please note this is not mandatory, it's merely a tool teachers can use to help educate high school (and maybe 8th grade) students. Attached is the lesson plan as well as the note to parents that we'd send from Forrest and Janice. Ideally, Janice would like to send this to schools by EOD today.

In case you’re interested, I came across an excerpt from Press Briefing on Servin. At the bottom. (Full briefing attached.)   MRE‐COMMENTS    Title: Emanuel Won’t Say If He Backs Top Cop’s Views On Fata Shooting By Officer  Publication: Chicago Tribune  Byline: Bill Ruthhart  Published: April 29, 2015  http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct‐rahm‐emanuel‐police‐shooting‐met‐0429‐20150428‐story.html    KEY MATERIAL:  ‐Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday declined to say whether he agreed with Chicago police Superintendent Garry  McCarthy's assertion that an off duty detective should not have faced criminal charges in the 2012 fatal shooting of a  woman. The mayor also did not say whether he backed McCarthy's comment that the victim "also happened" to be hit  by Detective Dante Servin's gunfire as the off‐duty cop "hit the individual who he was aiming at."    ‐The mayor also did not say whether he backed McCarthy's comment that the victim "also happened" to be hit by  Detective Dante Servin's gunfire as the off‐duty cop "hit the individual who he was aiming at."    ‐On Tuesday, Emanuel was asked if he agreed with McCarthy's insistence that Servin should never have been charged  and whether he believed his top cop's comments about the officer hitting his target were appropriate given the fact that  an innocent woman died. The mayor did not directly answer the question, citing an ongoing Independent Police Review  Authority evaluation of the case. "Right now, you know that situation is being looked at by IPRA," Emanuel said. "So, I'm  not going to comment on that." Emanuel, however, did not say why the independent authority's review prevented him  from weighing in on whether he supported McCarthy's comments. Instead, the mayor chose to focus on McCarthy's  recently launched "listening tour." The mayor said the idea is for McCarthy and his top district commanders to  strengthen their ties in the community by talking with "religious leaders and community leaders" in their  neighborhoods. Emanuel, though, bristled when asked why such an effort was necessary when McCarthy had been  running the department for the last four years. "The question is not a fair question," Emanuel responded. "It's building  on the introduction, four years ago, of community policing."    ‐The discussion on Chicago's police practices comes as Baltimore endured violent riots this week after the funeral of  Freddie Gray, a 25‐year‐old African‐American man who died in police custody there. A reporter asked Emanuel on  1 Tuesday whether he had watched the coverage of the Baltimore police protests and if he worried about something  similar happening in Chicago. "Of course, I watch. If the TV's on, you watch it," Emanuel responded. "This listening tour,  while you do kind of watch what's happening in Baltimore, is an outgrowth of things we've been doing step‐by‐step  methodically over the last four years and going forward. I'll be honest. There are good days at this and bad days."

Q: When police Supt. Garry McCarthy said acquitted Detective Dante Servin never should have been indicted ‐ that he  hit the guy he was aiming at but "happened to hit" Rekia Boyd, was that insensitive? Did you cringe?    A: This is one those things where there are multiple audiences. I know how different audiences heard different things. I,  as mayor, have to be sensitive to all that. And the time it was said [on the day Baltimore riots erupted] I am sensitive to  that. . . . I understand what the superintendent was speaking to and why he felt it was his responsibility to address it.  [But] there are many people who heard it ‐ not just the men and women in the police department.    NON‐MRE COMMENTS:    Title: Three More Settlements In Cop Cases  Publication: Chicago Sun‐Times

http://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago‐politics/7/71/536195/sneed‐supt‐mccarthy‐says‐dante‐servin‐shouldnt‐charged    KEY MATERIAL:  ‐"She [Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez] should never have indicted police officer Dante Servin in the first  place," McCarthy told Sneed. "It was wrong. The judge did the right thing by issuing a directed verdict," he added.    ‐But his second swing was a pitch to improve the Chicago Police Department's Internal Affairs Division, which probes  complaints against police officers, by naming a new commander ‐ Lt. Brendan Deenihan ‐ to "root out corruption and  misconduct in our department!"    "We need to improve the department's ability to make sure when people file complaints against Chicago Police officers,  they are adequately investigated and brought to a conclusion," McCarthy said.  2   "Detective Deenihan is a crackerjack investigator. The best. Internal affairs is incredibly important to the legitimacy of  our department," he added.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct‐rahm‐emanuel‐police‐shooting‐met‐0429‐20150428‐story.html    KEY MATERIAL:  ‐Asked Monday about the judge's ruling based on a legal technicality, McCarthy said the officer never should have been  charged in the first place, but declined to say why.    ‐"It's something that should not have happened. Absolutely, positively not," McCarthy said Monday. "But what I will  point out to you ... is that Detective Servin hit the individual who he was aiming at. He also happened to hit her."    PRESS BREIFING MATIERAL    ‐04.28.15  What did you make of Garry’s incendiary comments regarding Dante Servin?   I’m not going to comment on this incident specifically because the Independent Police Review Authority has  resumed its investigation.    I take any allegations of excessive force or misconduct very seriously for several key reasons.   o First, because maintaining a sense of trust between officers and residents is an essential part of our  work to improve public safety  o And also because there are thousands of good men and women at CPD – like the four officers featured  in the Sun Times playing football with kids in North Lawndale – who put their lives on the line every  because they care about our communities and our residents. Those officers are not represented by a  few whose actions don’t match the values of the Police Department.          From: Quinn, Kelley

I have received a few emails from schools asking if we are going to send out any guidance. Without that, teachers will create their own guidance (and I am aware that some have already begun to do so.) The CPS Teaching and Learning team are standing by to make changes to the outline if any are needed. Because teachers are out of session for the holiday starting COB today, it would be better to get something out today (if something is going to go out). It is not likely that they will check their emails over the holiday weekend prior to students returning on Monday. Please let us know your thoughts. Thanks so much again.

Over the past few days, we've been asked by principals and teachers for help in how they should talk about it with their students - since the kids are all talking about it. They want to make sure they're having productive conversations and at a minimum are able to properly deal with questions that may arise. Please note this is not mandatory, it's merely a tool teachers can use to help educate high school (and maybe 8th grade) students. Attached is the lesson plan as well as the note to parents that we'd send from Forrest and Janice. Ideally, Janice would like to send this to schools by EOD today.

In addition to leading the national TV newscasts, it was on the splash page of the NYT, CNN, WSJ, Huffington Post, and USA Today among others websites. With the release of the video, the coverage is highlighting the ferocity of the officer’s actions and the rawness of the footage.    The coverage is highlighting YOUR efforts to urge calm before the video was released, but also notes how upset community members are about the developments surrounding the video. Furthermore, the coverage highlights the number of questions that protestors and commentators say still linger: why did it take so long to press charges against the officer?; why wasn’t the video released earlier?; why is the police superintendent still in power?    The following batch of coverage is separated by clips published before the release of the video and clips published after the release of the video.    After the release of the video:    Chicago releases dash-cam video of fatal shooting after cop charged with murder  Tribune    Hours after a Chicago police officer was ordered held without bond on a first-degree murder charge, the city released a shocking police dash-cam video that captured the white officer opening fire on an African American teen on a Southwest Side street, striking him 16 times and killing him.    The video is about six minutes long and appears to show 17-year-old Laquan McDonald running down the middle of Pulaski Road near 41st Street when Officer Jason Van Dyke, standing next to his SUV, opens fire.    It was released to the media after a late afternoon news conference by Superintendent Garry McCarthy and Mayor Rahm Emanuel.    …    The charge comes less than a week after a Cook County judge ordered the release of a video that Emanuel's administration had long sought to keep out of public view. As the mayor urged prosecutors to conclude their investigation Monday, he met with community leaders and aldermen to defend his handling of the controversy amid criticism that City Hall has not done enough to address police misconduct.    The mayor called on religious leaders and activists to encourage peaceful demonstrations even as staff prepared for the public fallout and discussed the best way to unveil the video.    The city lost its court fight last week to keep the video under wraps when the judge ruled in favor of freelance journalist Brandon Smith, who sued under the state's open records law.  1   Lawyers for McDonald's family, who won a $5 million settlement from the city even before filing a lawsuit, have said none of the other officers at the scene fired a shot, according to city officials.      Chicago Officials Release Video in Shooting of Black Teenager  New York Times    Chicago’s police force has its own sometimes painful history, which by some estimates includes more than $500 million in settlements and other costs over the last decade tied to police misconduct as well as reparations for black residents who said a group of officers abused and tortured them in the 1970s and 1980s.    In April, the city agreed to pay $5 million to the McDonald family, even before a suit had formally been filed in the case.   For months, the city had refused to release the video. On Thursday, city officials reversed course after Franklin Valderrama, a Cook County judge, ordered it released. Announcing that the city would not appeal the case after being expected to, Mr. Emanuel strongly condemned the officer’s actions. Officer Van Dyke “took the law into his own hands,” the mayor said after charges were filed, “and now it’s up to the justice system to hold him accountable.”    Chicago mayor calls for calm as police release video of officer shooting teen  CNN    Mayor Rahm Emanuel is asking the people of Chicago to come together and work for peace as the city braces for potential unrest.    Police released a video Tuesday showing the shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, who was killed by an officer in October 2014.    "I believe this is a moment that can build bridges of understanding rather than become a barrier of misunderstanding. I understand that the people will be upset and will want to protest when they see this video," Emanuel said. "We as a city must rise to this moment.”      Community reacts to release of video in Laquan McDonald case  Chicago Tribune    On Tuesday evening, dozens of black activists gathered on the Univeristy of Illinois Chicago campus to talk about the video's release. The group shortly after began a demonstration, marching east down Roosevelt Road. Eventually, about 150 people marched, some chanting "16 times!" Some in the group also chanted, "Don't ask me about a riot when people are dying."    The marchers blocked traffic, with Chicago police and State police trailing the group.    Parents and guardians of students in Chicago Public Schools received an email Tuesday afternoon from Janice Jackson, the district's chief education officer, alerting them of the video's release.    "This footage is sure to raise many emotions among our children, and we want you to know that CPS will do everything possible to meet their needs," Jackson wrote.    Marchers protest CPD handling of Laquan McDonald's murder  Sun Times    As they marched, they chanted that the system is “guilty as hell” and began to walk south along State Street.    Lamon Reccord, 16, said he wants answers for his community. And he wants Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez to step down.  2   “I think Anita doesn’t believe in justice,” Reccord said.    There was a huge scuffle between protesters and police on Balbo between Michigan and Columbus Drive that lasted about 15 minutes.    Police and protesters were wrestling on the ground. Police officers, bikes and protesters were thrown to ground. When it was over, three protesters were hauled to the squadrol.    Editorial: A staggering moment for Chicago  Tribune    It's not enough for Emanuel and McCarthy to urge calm. It's not enough to talk about the increased training and supervision that McCarthy says have dramatically reduced the number of police shootings on his watch. The mayor and his police chief must commit to a thorough examination and overhaul of the disciplinary process. That must come with a pledge for greater transparency, so the public can see for itself how complaints against cops are resolved.    Police officers deal with dangerous situations every day. But Chicago's history of slow or no disciplinary action creates the impression that misconduct goes unpunished. That has to change. The city must make good on its promise to put cameras in every cruiser and on every cop. And it must stop trying to hide those recordings from the public.    If not for the video, it's unlikely that Van Dyke would be facing a murder charge. Chicago wouldn't be having this important discussion.    Editorial: Justice delayed becomes justice denied  Chicago Sun-Times    Events of the last year tells us we still live in a city that ducks the hard stuff.    Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez waited more than a year to press charges against Van Dyke. We don’t buy her argument, which she made again Tuesday, that she could not move faster because shootings by cops involve “highly complex” legal issues.    Police Supt. Garry McCarthy, in a similar act of ducking, declined until Tuesday to fire a police officer, Dante Servin, who shot into a crowd in 2012 and killed 22-year-old Rekia Boyd. McCarthy failed for two months to follow a police review board recommendation to terminate Servin.    When the superintendent finally did announce he would fire Servin — just hours before Van Dyke was charged and the video was released — he insisted, against all appearances, that this had nothing to do with trying to cool the public’s fury toward the police.    So it goes when justice is delayed. After awhile, nobody is inclined to believe you.    Chicago Officials Urge Calm as Police Shooting Video Is Released  WSJ    Mayor Emanuel, pastors and community activists have been meeting in recent days in the face of concerns the video could touch off violence in the nation’s third-largest city. Such cities as Ferguson, Mo., and Baltimore have experienced rioting, looting and vandalism in response to police shootings. But there also have been peaceful protests in many U.S. cities amid a growing call for changes in the use of police force, particularly against black men.    At a Tuesday afternoon news conference, Mr. Emanuel also urged for peaceful protests. “It is fine to be passionate, but it is essential that it remain peaceful,” he said.    Chicago Urban League Interim President Shari Runner called for “calm and mutual respect” in a statement this week, while saying she understands the “feelings of outrage, distrust and fear.”  3   Other groups, such as Black Youth Project 100, a national organization of activists 35 years old and younger, declined to meet with city officials, saying attention should be put on police violence, not the potential response to the release of the video.    Chicago releases dashcam video of Laquan McDonald’s fatal shooting  MSNBC    In the days leading up to formal charges being lodged against Van Dyke and the city’s release of the video, Chicago had begun to brace for possible unrest sparked by the raw nature of the video. Some organizers say the focus on possible violence following the release of the video is a distraction from the actual violence perpetrated against McDonald. “We are not predicting doom and gloom,” McCarthy said. “We are predicting protests.”    The mayor chimed in, calling the moment a time for the city to rise to the occasion. “This episode can be a moment of understanding and learning,” he said.    Protesters March After City Officials Release Laquan McDonald Dash-Cam Video  NBC Chicago    Protesters gathered on the Near West Side Tuesday evening after officials released the dash-cam video showing the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald by a Chicago police officer last year.    About 75 demonstrators gathered peacefully in the 700 block of West Maxwell during a press conference with Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy, which was scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Chicago officials released the dash-cam video after the press conference.    About 30 to 40 people later met inside an art gallery on Halsted Street following the release of the video. The group told NBC Chicago they had gathered to reflect on the video and discuss their emotions upon seeing it. As more people joined the group, they later marched to Roosevelt Road, about one block away, chanting "Is this a joke? They think it's a joke!"    Dashcam Video of Laquan McDonald's Shooting Death is Released in Chicago  The Root (African American newspaper)    Because of that same graphic video, which has been described as disturbing and violent, police and city officials tried to stop its release, citing an investigation, but a judge refused their request and set its release for Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving.    Fearing what the city’s reaction will be to the video, the mayor’s office wanted to meet with the numerous black youth organizations that have mobilized around Laquan’s death. Those groups—including BYP 100, Black Lives Matter: Chicago, Fearless Leading by the Youth, Assata’s Daughters, #LetUsBreathe collective, We Charge Genocide and other grassroots groups—turned down that offer.    “The Mayor’s office is calling on community ‘leaders’ to control Black people’s response to the execution recorded on the dashcam video to be released,” said the groups in a statement released Monday. “It was important to deny this invitation to meet because we believe that the community has a right to respond as it sees fit. ... We also believe that leaders do not reserve the right to police people’s emotions.”    City Releases Graphic Video Of Laquan McDonald Shooting Tuesday Afternoon  CBS Chicago  “People have the right to free speech,” McCarthy said. “They do not have the right to commit criminal acts.”    Officer Jason Van Dyke, “violated basic moral standards that bind our community together” when he shot 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, Emanuel said.    “Anyone there to uphold the law cannot act like they are above the law,” Emanuel said.    4 The mayor urged the city to heed to wishes of McDonald’s family and not resort to violence seen in other cities faced with police violence.    “I understand people will be upset and want to protest,” he said. “For those who choose to speak out, do it peacefully.”    “People of good faith love their city,” Emanuel said, adding the shooting “doesn’t speak to who we are.”    McCarthy: Chicago Police Won't Tolerate Rioting in Laquan Shooting  DNAInfo    Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said Tuesday that people have a right to protest in the aftermath of the release of a video showing the police shooting of a teenager but "we will be intolerant of criminal behavior."    At a press conference Tuesday at the release of the video, McCarthy said: "People have right to be angry but they do not have right to commit criminal acts. We will be intolerant of criminal behavior."    "We’re one of the world leaders in mass demonstrations, we’re prepared to facilitate peoples' First Amendment right to free speech, but we’ll be intolerant to criminal behavior," he said at the press conference which was also attended by a number of black clergymen and aldermen.    Mayor Rahm Emanuel added, "Will we use this episode and this moment to build bridges that bring us together as a city or will we allow it as a way that becomes barriers that tear us apart as a city?"    Businesses advise tenants to prepare for protests  Associated Press    Businesses in Chicago are advising tenants to be prepared for protests as Chicago officials release a video showing a white police officer shooting a black teenager 16 times.    Some management companies have said they intend to operate as usual but are prepared to lock down buildings if protests become unruly.    Prominent clergy members are calling for peaceful protests and civil disobedience as the city prepares to release dash-cam video of the 2014 shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. A judge last week ordered the city to publicly release the video.    Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy also are calling for calm, as are McDonald's parents.    Officer Jason Van Dyke was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder.    Chicago PD finally releases video of Laquan McDonald’s shooting a year after his death  Vox.com    Naturally, there is the human factor of manipulation of dash cameras and body cameras; the equipment must be turned on to capture the action, after all. Bystander footage can also be manipulated or edited, but on the whole, capturing such footage has been the difference between someone like former North Charleston, South Carolina, officer Michael Slager — who initially claimed he shot Walter Scott this year because Scott grabbed his Taser — going free or being held responsible for his actions, since his initial claims were dispelled by bystander footage. For many high-profile cases of police brutality and excessive force against black men in particular, the deciding factor has been the existence of video footage. Otherwise, it's the officer's word against a witness's — if there was a witness at all.    What Police Said About The Killing Of Laquan McDonald Before The Video Showed What Really Happened  Think Progress    On Tuesday, the video finally released, and Van Dyke was charged with murder.    5 The video directly contradicts the account provided to the press after McDonald’s death. McDonald does not “lunge” at the police or do anything threatening. It also shows Van Dyke firing repeatedly at McDonald after he is on the ground and motionless.    In April, police officer Michael Thomas Slager was charged with the murder of Walter Scott after a video contradicted the official police account.    Many police shootings are not captured on video, however. The prosecution of police officers for murder is extremely rare.    Mary Mitchell: 'Hideous' video tells an even more hideous story  Sun-Times    A lot of young people have been desensitized to violence because they’ve experienced it, witnessed it, suffered it or downloaded it from the Internet. Reality TV shows such as “48 Hours” tell real stories about real perpetrators and victims.   But nothing can prepare you for watching a Chicago police officer take aim at a young black man and pull the trigger 16 times.    Unfortunately, you can troll through YouTube and find other videos of police-involved shootings in other cities that are just as disgusting.    Tragically, some people even call it entertainment.    But now that the video has been made public, the city can get on with the business of addressing police brutality instead of wasting time trying to hide the truth from the world — and from us.    Before release of the video:    Black Caucus chairman: What took Alvarez so long to file charges?  Chicago Sun Times    The chairman of the City Council’s Black Caucus on Tuesday questioned why it took Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez 13 months to charge a white Chicago Police officer with first-degree murder in the shooting of an AfricanAmerican teenager amid concern the court-ordered release of a dashboard camera video of the shooting may be further delayed.    Ald. Roderick Sawyer (6th) said “somebody dropped the ball” in the shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald and all signs point to Alvarez, who is fighting for her political life in a contested Democratic primary against two challengers, one of whom is African-American.    “It’s politically motivated that you decide to do it at this time when you have generously had 10 months — I won’t even go back to the full 13 months — to make a determination to file charges and didn’t. Oftentimes, it takes days to make these types of determinations” when there’s an incriminating video of Van Dyke firing 16 shots into McDonald’s body, Sawyer said.    Garry McCarthy defends timing of move to fire cop in fatal shooting of woman  Chicago Tribune    Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said Tuesday that politics were not at play in his decision to fire Detective Dante Servin for a fatal 2012 off-duty shooting just hours before another one of his officers was set to be charged with first-degree murder in a separate shooting of a teenager last year.    For two months, McCarthy had been weighing the decision on whether to fire Servin for the shooting of 22-year-old Rekia Boyd, after a police review board recommended termination.    6 McCarthy released a statement late Monday night that he would fire Servin, a decision that coincided with news that the Cook County state’s attorney would charge officer Jason Van Dyke for first-degree murder after firing 16 rounds into 17year-old Laquan McDonald, many of them as he lay prone in a Southwest Side street last October.    Chicago Cop Charged With First-Degree Murder  Slate    Van Dyke will be the 15th police officer to be charged with either murder or manslaughter this year for shooting a civilian, according to research by Philip Stinson, a criminologist at Bowling Green State University. Stinson’s research shows that between 2005 and 2014, the United States saw an average of just five officers per year facing such charges.    Officer Who Killed Laquan McDonald Has Been Charged With Murder  BET    Former Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder in the killing of 17-yearold Laquan McDonald in 2014. The teenager was shot 16 times. Dyke was still an officer on paid desk duty as of Tuesday.    A Cook County judge has ordered that the video of the shooting be released by Wednesday. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has decided not to fight the order. The shooting death of McDonald did not receive major media attention when it happened in 2014, but the case has now reached national headlines.    "Police officers are entrusted to uphold the law and to provide safety to our residents," Mayor Emanuel said in a statement, according to the Chicago Tribune. "In this case unfortunately, it appears an officer violated that trust at every level."    Chicago community leaders expect protests over police shooting video  Reuters    Community leaders who met with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said they expected protests on Wednesday when the city plans to release a disturbing video of an October 2014 fatal police shooting of a black teenager.    Emanuel called in community leaders and pastors for meetings on Monday aimed at preparing for public reaction to the video. The footage from a patrol car dashboard camera is being released as a result of a judicial order stemming from a lawsuit brought by a freelance journalist.    Also on Monday, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that the officer involved would face criminal charges, citing unnamed sources. A spokeswoman for the Cook County State's Attorney's office did not respond to requests for comment.    Chicago police Officer Jason Van Dyke charged in shooting death of Laquan McDonald  Chicago Tribune    Meanwhile, Van Dyke’s wife, Tiffany, set up a GoFundMe page asking for online donations for her husband’s bond. Although the page did not mention her husband by name, it described him as a 15-year veteran officer "fighting for his freedom and justice."    "He is a highly decorated and respected officer," Tiffany Van Dyke wrote. "He was in a shooting that has been covered extensively by the media and we ask for your patience for all the facts to come out in the trial. We want him to be home with his family as we go through this judicial process."    The page asked for donations "very quickly" so Van Dyke can pay whatever bond is set and he can be home for the holidays.    …    7 The charges would come less than a week after a Cook County judge ordered the release of the video, which Mayor Rahm Emanuel's administration had long sought to keep out of public view. As Emanuel urged prosecutors to conclude their investigation Monday, he met with community leaders and aldermen to defend his handling of the controversy amid criticism that City Hall has not done enough to address police misconduct.    Ordered to release the video no later than Wednesday, the mayor called on religious leaders and activists to encourage peaceful demonstrations even as staff prepared for the public fallout and discussed the best way to unveil the video.    Rahm Emanuel: Killer cop took ‘law into his own hands’  MSNBC    Camiella Williams, a community activist who has worked closely with McDonald’s family and the loved ones of other young African-Americans killed by Chicago police, said the cry for peace is simply a diversion from the truth.    “People are planting the seed of the potential of violence in the media rather than the fact that this officer shot him 16 times,” Williams said. “People are focusing on the wrong thing thinking it’s going to be violence. No one is really focusing on how can we shift this culture, how can we prevent this from happening again, how can we indict and convict the other officers involved in unjust killings.”    Chicago cop charged with murder for shooting black teen 16 times  USA Today    City officials expect a sharp reaction to the video's release, which comes as police treatment of African-American men has become hot-button issue nationally in the aftermath of high-profile incidents in New York, Ferguson, Mo., Baltimore, North Charleston, S.C., and elsewhere in the last 18 months.    Emanuel on Monday met with several pastors, community leaders and activists, to urge peaceful protests. In a separate move, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy announced he would move to fire a police officer who was found not guilty of involuntary manslaughter earlier this year for the 2012 shooting death of Rekia Boyd.    Social Media:    On social media, momentum skyrocketed following the release of the video. #LaquanMcDonald was the leading hashtag across the country. Articles about the video continue to drive most of the social media interest, and many people are tweeting their reaction to the video.    As protestors took to the streets, many news organizations and protest organizations took to Twitter to tell those following them online where the protests were headed. Media organizations provided live footage of the protests using helicopters overhead that was shared online.    Currently, commentary has consisted of: disgust for the shooting; blame for why it took so long for justice to occur; developments in the protests.    TWITTER    Black Youth Project (Chicago Activists): Marching up Roosevelt.

It proves the lie police told when this young man was killed.    Dorothy Tucker (CBS reporter): The principal at Sullivan House High School says Laquan McDonald came to class everyday, was liked by classmates and always had a hug for teachers. Family friends say the 17 year old, who was a ward of the state, was just looking for someone to love him. It's clear from the video he wasn't looking for trouble with the police. He was walking away.    Shaun King (NYDN Columnist): The police execution of Chicago teenager Laquan McDonald. Not only was he walking away when he was shot, but the smoke you see coming from his body on the ground after he he fell from the bullets, are the additional shots the officer fired.

I’m good with this. Dear Principals and Chiefs, As I’m sure you know, video footage surrounding the shooting death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald is scheduled to be released this week. To help our teachers manage the questions and emotions this will evoke from their students, CPS has created the attached toolkit. While we are not requiring or even encouraging discussion of this incident in class, we recognize that children need a safe outlet in which to express their emotions. The information contained here will help teachers provide the context for a conversation that is sensitive and constructive.   If your teachers are going to discuss this incident in class, please encourage them to use this resource. We know that students will be discussing this video, which is why we are trying to be proactive and provide guidance. That being said, please stress to your teachers that this footage should not be viewed in school, and that students who need additional support should be directed to their school’s counselor. Also attached is a letter to parents explaining how CPS is helping their children navigate this unsettling situation. Please send this communication home in student backpacks on Tuesday, November 24. Thank you in advance for helping our students navigate this difficult turn of events. If you have any questions about how the situation should be handled, please feel free to contact me.

I have received a few emails from schools asking if we are going to send out any guidance. Without that, teachers will create their own guidance (and I am aware that some have already begun to do so.) The CPS Teaching and Learning team are standing by to make changes to the outline if any are needed. Because teachers are out of session for the holiday starting COB today, it would be better to get something out today (if something is going to go out). It is not likely that they will check their emails over the holiday weekend prior to students returning on Monday. Please let us know your thoughts.

Over the past few days, we've been asked by principals and teachers for help in how they should talk about it with their students - since the kids are all talking about it. They want to make sure they're having productive conversations and at a minimum are able to properly deal with questions that may arise. Please note this is not mandatory, it's merely a tool teachers can use to help educate high school (and maybe 8th grade) students. Attached is the lesson plan as well as the note to parents that we'd send from Forrest and Janice. Ideally, Janice would like to send this to schools by EOD today. 4 Thank you, Hayley -Hayley Matz Meadvin Chief Officer, Strategic Planning and Communications 773-553-1522 (direct) hkmeadvin@cps.edu This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

The Rev. Michael Pfleger told his parish at St. Sabina Church in Auburn Gresham to lead the protest during his homily Sunday, drawing on the legacy of "civil disobedience" established during the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. "If you really want to make a statement: Black Friday is coming up. The number one business day," Pfleger said. "Don’t shop on Black Friday and go down to Michigan Avenue and sit down in the street and block the street on Michigan Avenue with civil disobedience peacefully, and say 'business as usual can’t go on while our children are dying.'" The call for protest came a few days after a judge ruled the city must release dashcam video from last year showing Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting McDonald, a 17-year-old with a knife, 16 times. The video will be released by Wednesday, prompting Mayor Rahm Emanuel and other officials to brace for the subsequent outcry. Meanwhile, Pfleger is using it as a call for families to "make a statement" on the busiest shopping day of the year, in Chicago's most prominent retail stretch, about police-involved shootings. Another Chicago police officer, Dante Servin, was acquitted of all charges earlier this year in the 2012 shooting death of 22-year-old Rekia Boyd. "Why is Jason Van Dyke, why is he not fired?" Pfleger said during his homily. "You paid $5 million in a settlement. if you paid $5 million in a settlement you must think he’s guilty. Fire his butt." The Sun-Times reported Monday afternoon that Van Dyke will receive criminal charges Tuesday, and the video is expected to be released at 3 p.m. Wednesday. The Cook County State's Attorney's office did not confirm that. "The state's attorney's office has been engaged in an active and ongoing investigation into the shooting death of Laquan McDonald," a spokeswoman with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office said Monday. "We have been working with our investigative partners at the federal level to conduct a comprehensive investigation." Pfleger's remarks drew applause throughout the mega South Side church, 1210 W. 78th St., whose audience Sunday included cast and crew of the "Chi-Raq" movie. Filmmaker Spike Lee also addressed the parish Sunday. Despite Pfleger's remarks, a representative of St. Sabina said no protest was "officially" being organized when asked Monday by DNAinfo.     From: Spector, Stephen Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 2:46 PM To: Klinzman, Grant; Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social But Hatch and the Rev. Ira Acree said it is a rare occurrence and shows the mayor is concerned there might be violence. 5 "We have been trying to meet with the mayor since the beginning of the year to talk about community relations and his staff asks for a letter and says 'We'll get back to you,' but they never do," Acree said. Hatch said: "This has the feeling of them scrambling." Associated Press: Emanuel Meeting Ministers to Discuss Police Shooting Video Amid concerns about possible unrest, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel invited ministers and community activists to City Hall on Monday to discuss the upcoming release of a video that shows a white police officer fatally shooting a black teenager last year. Seventeen-year-old Laquan McDonald was shot 16 times. Police have said he refused to drop a knife. There is growing concern in the community about what could happen when people see the incident for themselves. A judge last week ordered the police department to release the police car dashcam footage by Wednesday. Two ministers invited to meet with Emanuel said they think the mayor will solicit their help in preventing the kind of unrest seen in Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri, after the killings of young black men by police in those cities. "We are assuming he is going to ask us to call for calm," the Rev. Marshall Hatch said. Emanuel's office characterized the meeting as something "we regularly do on important topics." But Hatch and the Rev. Ira Acree said it is a rare occurrence and shows the mayor is concerned there might be violence. "We have been trying to meet with the mayor since the beginning of the year to talk about community relations and his staff asks for a letter and says 'We'll get back to you,' but they never do," Acree said. Hatch said: "This has the feeling of them scrambling." The shooting occurred on Oct. 20, 2014, as police responded to a 911 call of a man carrying a knife. Lawyers for McDonald's family who have seen the video say it shows the teen with a small knife and walking away from officers. They say Officer Jason Van Dyke opens fire from about 15 feet and keeps shooting after the teen falls. Emanuel's meeting with ministers and activists comes as residents brace both for the video's release and for word on whether Van Dyke will face criminal charges. The FBI and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office are investigating the shooting, and an announcement on state or federal charges could come as soon as this week. Acree and Hatch said blacks in the city are upset about the shooting and because city officials and the Police Department refused for several months to release the video until ordered to do so by a judge. They said people also are angry because the officer, though stripped of his police powers, has been assigned to desk duty and not fired. "They had the opportunity to be a good example and a model across the country on how to improve police and community relations and they missed it," Acree said. The Police Department has said it refused to release the video out of concern that doing so would hamper the federal and state investigations. The department said placing an officer on desk duty after a shooting is standard procedure and that it is prohibited from doing anything more during the investigations. 6     From: Spector, Stephen Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 1:54 PM To: Klinzman, Grant; Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: Re: Social Fyi as I'm sure you saw, all cams are setting up in 5th floor lobby near elevators    From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 10:50 AM To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social Chicago leaders urge calm before police shooting video released From CNN ‐      http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/23/us/laquan‐mcdonald‐chicago‐dashcam‐video/index.html?sr=twCNN112315laquan‐ mcdonald‐chicago‐dashcam‐video0254PMVODtopLink&linkId=18969938       From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 10:23 AM To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social FYI hearing that Pfleger is leading a March downtown on Wednesday. Assuming we already know about this – but if not.    From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2015 11:57 AM To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: Re: Social LH/SS - can one of you do the post 12:30 presser report and I can do another status report this evening?

From: Hallenius, Ian A.(CG)(FBI) Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 1:51 PM To: Gaston, Barbara J.(CG)(FBI) Subject: Bulletin Narrative On 11/24/2015, an FBI source, who has reported reliable intelligence in the past provided the following information: CHS was questioned with regard to the possibility for violence in the City of Chicago and surrounding suburbs after the release of the Laquan McDonald video. CHS advised that violent rhetoric is high. Due to the recent media spotlight on officer-involved deaths of minorities, there is a lot of anger in neighborhoods served by the Chicago Police Department. CHS believes that the possibility of an officer being targeted by gang members is extremely high. The possibility of rioting is high, given the propensity for violence to occur due to anti-police sentiments in many neighborhoods on the west side icago. CHS has heard specific threats from street gang members in the area of Augusta and Sacramento to Augusta and Western. In addition to these locations. These threats have named the uniformed patrol officers of the Chicago Police Department as targets. CHS believes the two primary locations of concern to be the 14th District Police Station and the Homan Square building. With regard to both locations, CHS has heard discussions of gang members "setting up" and waiting for police employees to exit the buildings to walk to their cars. CHS knows these employees are typically getting off shift and may not have their protective equipment, such as bullet-resistant vests and weapons, with them. In addition to being unarmed or unprotected, these employees will likely be in either small groups or by themselves, which would make them targets of opportunity. CHS states that shooters may lay in wait for police officers, and then conduct an ambush. In addition to ambushing police officers at the police stations, CHS states another tactic discussed is to lay in wait for police vehicles to drive down one-way streets with dead ends. After the marked unit has entered the block, one group of shooters will fire rounds into the air from a hidden location, in order to bring the moving vehicle to a halt. After the vehicle has halted, another group of shooters closer to the stopped police unit will then open fire upon the stopped unit, with the goal of killing any police officers inside the vehicle. CHS has heard a lot of rhetoric lately that many people believe police officers will murder innocent civilians. Some believe the only way to end police brutality is to murder police officers in retaliation. In addition to conducting murder, CHS believes severe property damage will occur if riots are allowed to develop. CHS advises all uniformed police officers, and police employees entering/exiting police buildings are targets of opportunity which will be exploited by shooters if they are given the advantage.

FRANCES RIVERA: want to take you to chicago now where a news conference held regarding a police officer facing  murder charges in the shooting death of a black teenager. that officer turned himself in this morning. let's listen in.     [CLIP BEGINS]    ANITA ALVAREZ: working with partner in a marked patrol car, assigned to the overnight shift in the chicago police  department's 8th district. the circumstances leading up to the shooting that evening began at 9:47 p.m. when a  chicago police dispatcher radioed to an 8th district beat car this a citizen was holding a male who had caught ‐‐ who had  been caught breaking into trucks and stealing radios in a parking lot near 41st and killdeer. that male was identified  as laquan mcdonald. the radio dispatches were broadcast to all 8th district patrol units. 9:53 p.m., a responding beat  car related that the guy is walking away with a knife in his hand. and a dispatcher inquired as to whether any available  units had a taser. another beat car responded immediately that they were on their way. although they did not  indicate whether or not they had a taser. one minute later, a responding officer radioed that the suspect was walking  toward a nearby burger king restaurant located on polaski road. the dispatcher confirmed the location, reminded all  units that the individual was armed with a knife and they then continued to ask if the officer units were in close  proximity. at 9:56 p.m., one of the responding beat car officers radioed that the suspect had just used the knife to slash  the tire on their squad car. seconds later, beat car 545r radioed that they were two blocks away from the incident. beat  car 845r was the responding police unit in which officer vandyke was a passenger. the squad was being driven by his  1 partner. seconds later, two additional police officers responded through radio transmissions that they were on their  way, as well. at that point, a total of eight officers including this defendant and his parter in had arrived on the scene in  four vehicles to assist the officers who had the initial contact with laquan. none of these officers were equipped with  tasers. the dash camera of one of the responding beat cars captured the shooting but no audio was recovered. although  some of the other responding units had operating dash cams, due to their positioning, they did not capture the actual  shooting. nor do they contain audio recordings. investigators recovered video from a local business that showed laquan  walking away from the initial officers at 40th street. attempts to download video from another local business  were unsuccessful but it was determined that the cameras at that location would not have captured the scene of the  actual shooting. finally, video from a third local business was recovered but due to the distance and obstructions that  video was deemed to be very limited evident ri value. the video shows laquan mcdonald as he jogs south on polaski  road passing the burger king at the 9:57:25 p.m. time stamp on that video. the recording shows two other marked  chicago police suvs on the scene. at that time, laquan was walking and as he passes one of the responding police cars he  waves a right arm and a knife is visible in the right hand. five seconds later, officer vandyke and his partner park their  vehicle and immediately draw their weapons. at this time, laquan mcdonald is approximately one foot from the white  lane divider in the middle of polaski road going southbound. and his body appears to be moving slightly away from  the officers toward the west side of polaski. 9:57:36 mcdonald crossed white lane divider away from the officers and  officer vandyke has taken at least one step toward mcdonald with his weapon drawn. the officer then opened fire  on laquan whose arm jerks, his body spins around and he falls to the ground. while laquan is falling to the ground, the  defendant takes at least one more step towards him at which point the angle of the dash camera changes and we can no  longer see the officer within the frame of the video. two seconds later, laquan mcdonald is lying in the street on his right  side. and the video capture what is appears to be two puffs of smoke coming from the ground near his body. these puffs  of smoke were later identified as clouds of debris caused by the fired bullets. at 9:57:51 mcdonald is still lying on the  street and the last visible shot is fired. in the 13 seconds that he's been on the ground, his body has jerked and his arms  moved slightly. there have been three visible puffs of debris indicating shots hit the pavement near mcdonald's body.  mcdonald and kicks the knife out of his hand. the knife later recovered by police had a 3‐inch blade that folded into the  handle. officer vandyke ‐‐ in the shots when he looked at vandyke and saw that he was preparing to reload his  weapon. officer vandyke's partner related that he could hear mcdonald struggling to breathe and told vandyke to hold  the fire to approach mcdonald and kick the knife away. officer vandyke was armed with a .9 millimeter pistol and a 16‐ round capacity. chicago police investigators later recovered 16 fired cartridge cases from the scene and illinois state  police determined that all those cartridge cases had been fired from officer vandyke's weapon. our investigation has  determined that he was on the scene less than 30 seconds before he started shooting. in addition to the fact that  all evidence indicates that he began shooting approximately six second after getting out of his vehicle. analysis of the  video establishes that 14 to 15 seconds passed from the time the defendant fired his first shot to clear visual evidence of  a final shot. for approximately 13 of those seconds, laquan was lying on the ground. on the right ‐‐ of the eight are more  officers on the scene. it was only the defendant who fired his weapon. laquan had a pulse at the time chicago fire  department paramedics arrived at the scene but lost the pulse in transportation to mt. sinai once at the hospital,  life hospital. saving efforts were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead. according to the interviews with officers on  the scene, laquan mcdonald never spoke to the officers, never responded to their numerous verbal commands to top  the knife. the first officer said they did not see the need to use force against mcdonald when they encountered him and  he began running away towards polaski and sirens could be heard. several citizens witnessed the shooting. he saw  mcdonald in the street before he was shot. the motorist said he was looking for a way to get away from the police. the  mortorist stated mcdonald never did anything threatening to the officers before he was shot and fell to the ground. this  witness stated that he heard a pause in the shots after mcdonald fell to the ground but then heard more shots. he also  said that he did not see mcdonald do anything threatening while lying on the ground to cause the officer to continue  to shoot. based upon this, and other evidence, it is my determination that this defendant's actions of shooting laquan  mcdonald when he did not pose an immediate threat of great bodily harm or death and subsequent actions of shooting  mcdonald on the ground after previously being struck by gun fire were not justified and they were not a proper use  of deadly force by this police officer. before i take questions, i would like to make a couple of important points. my office  was made aware of this shooting by the independent police review authority within two weeks of the incident. we  received a copy of the video on november 4th, 2014. and we immediately opened an investigation and began  working with the independent review police authority to gather information on this case. november 19th, 2014, we  were contacted by the fbi regarding the shooting and we provided a copy of the video to the fbi the following day. at  2 this time, the fbi offered to work with our office and we accepted that officer. uent, i met with the fbi special agent in  charge and united states attorney in december of 2014. and from that time on, we were engaged in an active,  joint, ongoing criminal investigation at both the state and the federal levels. the public needs to know that while it  would seem to some that the 12 months of investigation with our federal partners has taken too long, investigations of  police shootings and misconduct are highly complex matters that carry with them very unique legal issues that must be  fully examined and taken into consideration. for example, almost all cases of police misconduct and excessive force  include garity issues and let me explain that to you. when we investigate police shootings it is not like one civilian  shooting another. it is much more complex and involved. there are many things that you need to know as  the investigating agency, as a prosecutor. one of those things are the use of force model. you need to know what that  use of force model is. you need to know how officers are trained. what it means. in particular, what the department is  trained. what are the rules and regulations? what are the specific training that chicago police officers receive in regards  to use of force? you have to know the relevant case law and there's a controlling case called garrity and maybe this  might be a lot to explain but i think it's extremely important. but that's the controlling case that controls cases that when  we investigate police shootings, you know, the united states supreme court has ruled that officers can use deadly  force and they can use reasonable force. but you must look at the point of what is the perspective of the officer at the  time of the shooting. the garrity case is specific because garrity case explains when we as prosecutors can and cannot  use a statements of police officers in obtaining information and bringing our charges if any. and we go through great,  great pain to make sure that our assistant state's attorneys are doing it the right way. that the assistant u.s. attorney's  office, that these assistants are following the law. we have to make sure that there's only certain people who are able to  read these statements. we have to make sure that the assistant state's attorney making the decision on the case is not  tainted by a statement that falls under garrity protection. so we have to ‐‐ i know this may sound ‐‐ it's very  complicated. it's extremely complicated when you investigate police shootings. so, with that being said, you know, this  investigation was tenacious. it was meticulous. we did everything to make sure that we were not going to jeopardize our  case because if we do and we use tainted evidence obtained against garrity ruling, the indictment will be dismissed so  we want to make sure that we are following all of the rules and making sure that everything is done. and so, that's why  this investigation and all police investigations take a significant amount of time. the bottom line is these cases unlike  most cases require a meticulous examination that can seem to the passive observers to be taking too long. however, the  unique and complex nature of these issues means that these cases are time consuming, requiring a massive an labor  intensive effort. it is not at all unusual for these type of investigations to take up to 20 months before reaching a  charging decision. and this case in particular many people from the fbi, the united states attorney's office and my office  have been working tirelessly to reach just conclusion. at the end of the day, i'd rather take my time and get it right than  rush to judgment and get it among. rushing to judgment simply has no place in a professional investigation of this  magnitude and could only serve to jeopardize justy being done. throughout the course of this investigation it was  our intention to announce our charging decisions and our conclusions jointly and simultaneously with the united states  department of justice and u.s. attorney's office and myself. that was our goal, to stand up here together jointly  announcing our respective decisions. in order to do ‐‐ we wanted to seek with one united voice, with everyone who's  involved in this very, very thorough investigation. however, i made a decision after that, after that plan that the ‐‐ after  the cook county judge ruled last week that the videotape would be released to the public at the ‐‐ as a result of the civil  litigation with the city of chicago. while we would have preferred for the investigation to have run its full course and  enabled our federal partners to complete their evaluation in its entirety, i felt compelled in the interest of public safety  to announce these state charges today. maintaining public safety is my number one job and i do not want the public to  view this video without knowing the very important context that with these charges we are bringing a full measure of  justice that this demands. to be clear, the judge's order that the city of chicago must release the video by  november 25th certainly moved up the timing of our announcement beut it did not dictate our decision to charge this  defendant with first‐degree murder. i made that decision internally weeks ago. as you know, the citizens of chicago will  soon have the opportunity to view the video for them. throughout the course of our investigation i have seen the video  on a number of occasions and i can tell you it is everything that has been described to be by the news accounts. it is  graphic. it is violent. it is chilling. i've been a prosecutor for nearly 30 years. i have personally investigated and  prosecuted numerous cases of misconduct and public corruption, involved in hundreds of murder investigations  and trials and seen some of the most violent and graphic evidence and crime scene photos that you can only imagine. to  watch a 17‐year‐old young man die in such a violent manner is deeply disturbing and i have absolutely no doubt that  this video will tear at the hearts of all chicagoans. i know that laquan's mother and some family members have  3 been opposed to the release of this video and i certainly understand their concern and their anguish. as a mother, i  cannot imagine the personal pain that laquan's mother and his family have dealt with and will continue to deal with  when the video is made public. i hope that the citizens will take this into consideration and show respect and restraint  in their actions following the release of this video. before i close and i take questions, i would like to make a comment  about mayor eemanuel. the mayor has been criticized for not releasing the video sooner. i will tell you that i believe the  mayor's decision to delay the release was in the best interest of allowing federal and state law enforcement officials to  conduct our investigations and i thank him for that. finally, let me say that i fully support the rights of our citizens to  protest and to express their feelings or their outrage but it must be done without violence or criminal actions. violent  actions will not honor the life of laquan and it will do nothing hold this defendant accountable for his actions.     REPORTER: help people understand, why is it so complex and some people just don't ‐‐ can't get, can't understand why it  takes this long and seems so obvious in a situation like this.     ALVAREZ: you know, as i explained, when you're investigating police officer cases, it is not the same as you're  investigating a gang member shooting another. it just isn't. there, you know, you have to understand the use of  force model. you have to understand how officers are trained. officers do have a right to use reasonable force. they can  use deadly force when appropriate. so you have to understand all of that before you look at a case. you simply can't on a  case like this make a split‐second decision by watching the video one time and determine what occurred. there were  countless number of witnesses that were interviewed in this case. physical evidence looked for. looking for videotapes  from the businesses surrounding there. there was a lot of work done on this case. absolute lot of work and adds to the  year that we have been investigating.     [CLIP ENDS]           This e-mail, and

Quinn, Kelley; Patton, Stephen; Ewing, Clothilde; Collins, Adam Subject: FW: Revised draft email to Cabinet All – per Eileen’s request, below is a revised email from her to the Cabinet to be sent this afternoon. This  assumes that we have already announced (1) suspending Van Dyke without pay and (2) a press conference at  9:30 am tomorrow (though we can change those facts as needed).  Please let me know if you have edits or  concerns. Thanks    Dear Cabinet Members,    I would like to provide important updates on two police misconduct cases. Many of you may have questions  about these cases and the City’s response.     First, as you have likely heard, the City will release a video at 9:30 am tomorrow showing a Chicago police  officer shooting and killing Laquan McDonald, a 17 year old who was carrying a knife.  The incident occurred  on October 20, 2014. Within hours of the incident, our Independent Police Review Authority initiated an  investigation. Several days later, IPRA sent evidence in the case, including the video, to prosecutors who  initiated a criminal investigation.  At the same time, the officer was stripped of his police powers and assigned  to desk duty.  The criminal investigation is being led by Cook County States Attorney Anita Alvarez and U.S.  Attorney Zach Fardon, and the City has been cooperating fully.  Earlier today the States Attorney charged the  officer with first degree murder. Once the charges were filed, the Chicago Police Department suspended the  officer without pay.      Last week a court ordered the City to release the dash camera video of the incident by November 25th in  response to a FOIA request, and we will comply with that order.  Up to this point, the City had declined to  release the video so as not to interfere with an active criminal investigation.  For example, releasing a video  during a pending investigation has the potential to compromise eyewitness testimony because witnesses may  adjust their testimony to fit what they or others perceive in the video. Not releasing evidence during an  1 ongoing criminal investigation is consistent with the longstanding practice of federal, state and local law  enforcement authorities.       Please rest assured that we are working hard to reach out to community stakeholders, activists, elected  officials, teachers, principals, media and others in advance of the video release.  Yesterday the Mayor  personally met with many leaders and activists to clarify the facts of this case and seek their assistance in  making sure our City reacts peacefully to this horrendous incident.      Second, earlier today Superintendent Garry McCarthy announced his recommendation to terminate Officer  Dante Servin for his fatal shooting of Rekia Boyd.  On Tuesday, the formal charges justifying the termination  will be sent to the Chicago Police Board for review and further action. The Superintendent’s full statement  about his decision is provided below:    “After considerable deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that Officer Dante Servin showed incredibly  poor judgement in his efforts to intervene in a low‐level dispute while off‐duty," said Superintendent  McCarthy. "His actions tragically resulted in the death of an innocent young woman and an unthinkable loss  for a Chicago family and community. In the end, CPD has rules that we all must live by. Officer Servin violated  those rules and he’s going to be held accountable for that."      Please feel free to share this message, including the facts of the case, with your employees as you see fit.      If you have questions about this week’s events, do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.     Sincerely,  xxxxx      2 From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Spielfogel, David Tuesday, November 24, 2015 2:31 PM Collins, Adam;Quinn, Kelley Ewing, Clothilde;Rountree, Janey;Mitchell, Eileen;Rendina, Michael;Bennett, Kenneth;Patton, Stephen RE: Tuesday materials go    From: Collins, Adam Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 2:25 PM To: Spielfogel, David;

The Rev. Michael Pfleger told his parish at St. Sabina Church in Auburn Gresham to lead the protest during his homily Sunday, drawing on the legacy of "civil disobedience" established during the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. "If you really want to make a statement: Black Friday is coming up. The number one business day," Pfleger said. "Don’t shop on Black Friday and go down to Michigan Avenue and sit down in the street and block the street on Michigan Avenue with civil disobedience peacefully, and say 'business as usual can’t go on while our children are dying.'" The call for protest came a few days after a judge ruled the city must release dashcam video from last year showing Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting McDonald, a 17-year-old with a knife, 16 times. The video will be released by Wednesday, prompting Mayor Rahm Emanuel and other officials to brace for the subsequent outcry. Meanwhile, Pfleger is using it as a call for families to "make a statement" on the busiest shopping day of the year, in Chicago's most prominent retail stretch, about police-involved shootings. Another Chicago police officer, Dante Servin, was acquitted of all charges earlier this year in the 2012 shooting death of 22-year-old Rekia Boyd. "Why is Jason Van Dyke, why is he not fired?" Pfleger said during his homily. "You paid $5 million in a settlement. if you paid $5 million in a settlement you must think he’s guilty. Fire his butt." The Sun-Times reported Monday afternoon that Van Dyke will receive criminal charges Tuesday, and the video is expected to be released at 3 p.m. Wednesday. The Cook County State's Attorney's office did not confirm that. "The state's attorney's office has been engaged in an active and ongoing investigation into the shooting death of Laquan McDonald," a spokeswoman with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office said Monday. "We have been working with our investigative partners at the federal level to conduct a comprehensive investigation." Pfleger's remarks drew applause throughout the mega South Side church, 1210 W. 78th St., whose audience Sunday included cast and crew of the "Chi-Raq" movie. Filmmaker Spike Lee also addressed the parish Sunday. Despite Pfleger's remarks, a representative of St. Sabina said no protest was "officially" being organized when asked Monday by DNAinfo.     From: Spector, Stephen Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 2:46 PM To: Klinzman, Grant; Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social But Hatch and the Rev. Ira Acree said it is a rare occurrence and shows the mayor is concerned there might be violence. 5 "We have been trying to meet with the mayor since the beginning of the year to talk about community relations and his staff asks for a letter and says 'We'll get back to you,' but they never do," Acree said. Hatch said: "This has the feeling of them scrambling." Associated Press: Emanuel Meeting Ministers to Discuss Police Shooting Video Amid concerns about possible unrest, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel invited ministers and community activists to City Hall on Monday to discuss the upcoming release of a video that shows a white police officer fatally shooting a black teenager last year. Seventeen-year-old Laquan McDonald was shot 16 times. Police have said he refused to drop a knife. There is growing concern in the community about what could happen when people see the incident for themselves. A judge last week ordered the police department to release the police car dashcam footage by Wednesday. Two ministers invited to meet with Emanuel said they think the mayor will solicit their help in preventing the kind of unrest seen in Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri, after the killings of young black men by police in those cities. "We are assuming he is going to ask us to call for calm," the Rev. Marshall Hatch said. Emanuel's office characterized the meeting as something "we regularly do on important topics." But Hatch and the Rev. Ira Acree said it is a rare occurrence and shows the mayor is concerned there might be violence. "We have been trying to meet with the mayor since the beginning of the year to talk about community relations and his staff asks for a letter and says 'We'll get back to you,' but they never do," Acree said. Hatch said: "This has the feeling of them scrambling." The shooting occurred on Oct. 20, 2014, as police responded to a 911 call of a man carrying a knife. Lawyers for McDonald's family who have seen the video say it shows the teen with a small knife and walking away from officers. They say Officer Jason Van Dyke opens fire from about 15 feet and keeps shooting after the teen falls. Emanuel's meeting with ministers and activists comes as residents brace both for the video's release and for word on whether Van Dyke will face criminal charges. The FBI and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office are investigating the shooting, and an announcement on state or federal charges could come as soon as this week. Acree and Hatch said blacks in the city are upset about the shooting and because city officials and the Police Department refused for several months to release the video until ordered to do so by a judge. They said people also are angry because the officer, though stripped of his police powers, has been assigned to desk duty and not fired. "They had the opportunity to be a good example and a model across the country on how to improve police and community relations and they missed it," Acree said. The Police Department has said it refused to release the video out of concern that doing so would hamper the federal and state investigations. The department said placing an officer on desk duty after a shooting is standard procedure and that it is prohibited from doing anything more during the investigations. 6     From: Spector, Stephen Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 1:54 PM To: Klinzman, Grant; Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: Re: Social Fyi as I'm sure you saw, all cams are setting up in 5th floor lobby near elevators    From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 10:50 AM To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social Chicago leaders urge calm before police shooting video released From CNN ‐      http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/23/us/laquan‐mcdonald‐chicago‐dashcam‐video/index.html?sr=twCNN112315laquan‐ mcdonald‐chicago‐dashcam‐video0254PMVODtopLink&linkId=18969938       From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 10:23 AM To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social FYI hearing that Pfleger is leading a March downtown on Wednesday. Assuming we already know about this – but if not.    From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2015 11:57 AM To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: Re: Social LH/SS - can one of you do the post 12:30 presser report and I can do another status report this evening?

As the State’s Attorney made clear, Jason Van Dyke’s actions violated those standards and also the moral standards that bind our community together. Rather than uphold the law, he took the law into his own hands and it’s now up to the justice system to hold him accountable. But his actions are in no way a reflection of the dedication and professionalism that our police officers exemplify every day and that our residents expect throughout our city.”    ** ADVISORY FOR PLANNING PURPOSES **  Tomorrow morning at 9:15 am Mayor Emanuel will stand with Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy and community leaders to discuss the murder charges filed against Officer Jason Van Dyke. Further details on the location will be available later. The dash‐cam video will be released to media by the Police Department shortly thereafter.    ###      From: Quinn, Kelley Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 1:48 PM To: Spielfogel, David; Collins, Adam; Ewing, Clothilde; Rountree, Janey; Mitchell, Eileen Cc: Rendina, Michael; Bennett, Kenneth; Patton, Stephen Subject: Re: Tuesday materials Adam is making changes to the statement, and we can push it out shortly.   From: Spielfogel, David  Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 1:44 PM  To: Collins, Adam; Quinn, Kelley; Ewing, Clothilde; Rountree, Janey; Mitchell, Eileen  Cc: Rendina, Michael; Bennett, Kenneth; Patton, Stephen  Subject: RE: Tuesday materials    She just announced (though in Spanish) that we’re releasing tomorrow. should get it out.

Collins, Adam; Quinn, Kelley; Ewing, Clothilde; Spector, Stephen Subject: RE: Post-court presser   Alvarez avail – rough notes. Q and A to follow.     Good afternoon. As you know we have charged JVD with 1st degree murder in the shooting death of LM.    He was 17 when he was shot by defendant. I am going to summarize facts as we proffered them.    On Monday, Oct 20, 2014 – defendant was working on duty with partner in marked patrol car, doing overnight shift.    Circumstances began at 9:47pm when a dispatch radioed a patrol car that individual was breaking windows and stealing  car radios from a parking lot.    Dispatch asked if any units had taser – responding officers did not indicate.    At 9:56pm one of the beat cars radioed that suspect had slashed tires. Responding unit with JVD responded. A total of 8  police officers arrived on the scene in 4 vehicles to assist officers. None had tasers.     Video was captured, but no audio. Only one unit captured the video.     Prosecutors obtained video from a local business – but a second was unsuccessful. A third business video was low  quality.    Video shows LM going south.     Officer then opened fire on LM. He spun around and fell to ground.    While LM was falling, JVD stepped towards him. The video captures two puffs of smoke coming from ground near his  body. They were identified as clouds of debris from the shots.    3 JVD’s partner recovered 16 casings.    JVD was on the scene 30 seconds before he started shooting.    He started shooting 6 seconds after getting out of his video.    14 seconds passed between first and final shot. For 13 of those seconds LM was on the ground.    Of the 8 officers on the scene – only JVD fired.    According to officers, LM never spoke to officers and responded to their commands. One responding said they didn’t see  the need for force. Several civilians also saw the shooting. The motorist described him as looking for a way to get away  from police.     Based on this, and other evidence, shooting when not necessary – not justified and not appropriate use of force – I am  charging with murder.     We received a copy of the video on Nov 4, 2014. We immediately opened an investigation. On Nov 10, 2014 we were  contacted by the FBI. We provided a video. I have met with the special agent in charge and Fardon, in Dec 2014. We  have been engaged in an active joint investigation at both levels. While 12 months seems like it took too long,  investigations like this are complex and carry unique legal issues that must be considered. For example:    U.S. Supreme Court has ruled officers can use deadly force. Garrity case says when we can and cannot speak to police  officers. We go through great lengths to make sure ASAs handle things the right way. We make sure only certain people  can read these statements. We were meticulous. Made sure we would not jeopardize the case – and cause it to be  dismissed. That’s why this investigation, and all police investigations take significant time. Not unusual to take 20  months to reach a charge. At the end of the day I would rather take my time and get it right – not rush and do it wrong.    We wanted to announced with the feds. But – after the judge ruled last week – I felt compelled to announce these state  charges without the US attorney. This is a full measure of justice.     The ruling to release the video – moved our timing up, but did not change it. I made the decision to charge weeks ago. I  have seen it a number of times and it is graphic, violent, chilling. I have done this for 30 years – I have seen the most  graphic things. To watch this is disturbing, and I have no doubt this video will tear at the hearts of all Chicagoans. I  understand the concern and anguish of the family.     I hope the citizens take this into consideration in their actions.    I want to comment about Mayor Emanuel – I have seen reports he has been criticized for not releasing the video.    His decision was in the best interest of law enforcement and I think him for that.     Q&A to follow        From: Huffman, Lauren Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 12:38 PM To: Collins, Adam;

To: wilenfamily@gmail.com Dear CPS Parent or Guardian, As you may be aware, video footage surrounding the shooting death of 17-yearold Laquan McDonald will soon be released to the public. This footage is sure to raise many emotions among our children, and we want you to know that CPS will do everything possible to meet their needs. First, please know that this video will not be shown in our schools. Even so, we know that many students will likely be discussing it and may be upset by its violent content. To make sure that children have a safe outlet for their questions and emotions, we have created a special toolkit that will help teachers talk to students about this incident in a sensitive and constructive way. The toolkit suggests the students continue the conversation at home, sharing what they’ve learned with their parents and having an open dialogue. In addition to the steps we are taking in the classroom, our school counselors are always available to speak with students who may need additional support. When 2 you are talking with your children about this situation, please encourage them to reach out to their counselors for help at any time. We appreciate you partnering with us as we work to help our students process this difficult turn of events. If you have any questions about how this situation will be handled in your child’s school, please contact your principal directly. Sincerely, Janice K. Jackson, EdD.

Please disseminate appropriately to your agency personnel. Be safe. Courtenae On 11/24/2015, an FBI source, who has reported reliable intelligence in the past, provided the following information: CHS was questioned with regard to the possibility for violence in the City of Chicago and surrounding suburbs after the release of the Laquan McDonald video. CHS advised that violent rhetoric is high. Due to the recent media spotlight on officer-involved deaths of minorities, there is a lot of anger in neighborhoods served by the Chicago Police Department. CHS believes that the possibility of an officer being targeted by gang members is extremely high. The possibility of rioting. is high, given the propensity for violence to occur due to anti-police sentiments in many neighborhoods on the west side of Chicago. CHS has heard specific threats from street gang members in the area of Augusta and Sacramento to Augusta and Western. In addition to these locations. These threats have named the uniformed patrol officers of the Chicago Police Department as targets. CHS believes the two primary locations of concern to be the 14th District Police Station and the Homan Square building. With regard to both locations, CHS has heard discussions of gang members "setting up" and waiting for police employees to exit the buildings to walk to their cars. CHS knows these employees are typically getting off shift and may not have their protective equipment,such as bullet-resistant vests and weapons, with them. In addition to being unarmed or unprotected, these employees will likely be in either small groups or by themselves, which would make them targets of opportunity. CHS states that shooters may lay in wait for police officers, and then conduct an ambush. In addition to ambushing police officers at the police stations, CHS states another tactic discussed is to lay in wait for police vehicles to drive down one-way streets with dead ends. After the marked unit has entered the block, one group of shooters will fire rounds into the air from a hidden location, in order to bring the moving vehicle to a halt. After the vehicle has halted, another group of shooters closer to the stopped police unit will then open fire upon the stopped unit, with the goal of killing any police officers inside the vehicle. CHS has heard a lot of rhetoric lately that many people believe police officers will murder innocent civilians. Some believe the only way to end police brutality is to murder police officers in retaliation. In addition to conducting murder, CHS believes severe property damage will occur if riots are allowed to develop.

The Rev. Michael Pfleger told his parish at St. Sabina Church in Auburn Gresham to lead the protest during his homily Sunday, drawing on the legacy of "civil disobedience" established during the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. "If you really want to make a statement: Black Friday is coming up. The number one business day," Pfleger said. "Don’t shop on Black Friday and go down to Michigan Avenue and sit down in the street and block the street on Michigan Avenue with civil disobedience peacefully, and say 'business as usual can’t go on while our children are dying.'" The call for protest came a few days after a judge ruled the city must release dashcam video from last year showing Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting McDonald, a 17-year-old with a knife, 16 times. The video will be released by Wednesday, prompting Mayor Rahm Emanuel and other officials to brace for the subsequent outcry. Meanwhile, Pfleger is using it as a call for families to "make a statement" on the busiest shopping day of the year, in Chicago's most prominent retail stretch, about police-involved shootings. Another Chicago police officer, Dante Servin, was acquitted of all charges earlier this year in the 2012 shooting death of 22-year-old Rekia Boyd. "Why is Jason Van Dyke, why is he not fired?" Pfleger said during his homily. "You paid $5 million in a settlement. if you paid $5 million in a settlement you must think he’s guilty. Fire his butt." The Sun-Times reported Monday afternoon that Van Dyke will receive criminal charges Tuesday, and the video is expected to be released at 3 p.m. Wednesday. The Cook County State's Attorney's office did not confirm that. "The state's attorney's office has been engaged in an active and ongoing investigation into the shooting death of Laquan McDonald," a spokeswoman with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office said Monday. "We have been working with our investigative partners at the federal level to conduct a comprehensive investigation." Pfleger's remarks drew applause throughout the mega South Side church, 1210 W. 78th St., whose audience Sunday included cast and crew of the "Chi-Raq" movie. Filmmaker Spike Lee also addressed the parish Sunday. Despite Pfleger's remarks, a representative of St. Sabina said no protest was "officially" being organized when asked Monday by DNAinfo.     From: Spector, Stephen Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 2:46 PM To: Klinzman, Grant; Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social But Hatch and the Rev. Ira Acree said it is a rare occurrence and shows the mayor is concerned there might be violence. 6 "We have been trying to meet with the mayor since the beginning of the year to talk about community relations and his staff asks for a letter and says 'We'll get back to you,' but they never do," Acree said. Hatch said: "This has the feeling of them scrambling." Associated Press: Emanuel Meeting Ministers to Discuss Police Shooting Video Amid concerns about possible unrest, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel invited ministers and community activists to City Hall on Monday to discuss the upcoming release of a video that shows a white police officer fatally shooting a black teenager last year. Seventeen-year-old Laquan McDonald was shot 16 times. Police have said he refused to drop a knife. There is growing concern in the community about what could happen when people see the incident for themselves. A judge last week ordered the police department to release the police car dashcam footage by Wednesday. Two ministers invited to meet with Emanuel said they think the mayor will solicit their help in preventing the kind of unrest seen in Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri, after the killings of young black men by police in those cities. "We are assuming he is going to ask us to call for calm," the Rev. Marshall Hatch said. Emanuel's office characterized the meeting as something "we regularly do on important topics." But Hatch and the Rev. Ira Acree said it is a rare occurrence and shows the mayor is concerned there might be violence. "We have been trying to meet with the mayor since the beginning of the year to talk about community relations and his staff asks for a letter and says 'We'll get back to you,' but they never do," Acree said. Hatch said: "This has the feeling of them scrambling." The shooting occurred on Oct. 20, 2014, as police responded to a 911 call of a man carrying a knife. Lawyers for McDonald's family who have seen the video say it shows the teen with a small knife and walking away from officers. They say Officer Jason Van Dyke opens fire from about 15 feet and keeps shooting after the teen falls. Emanuel's meeting with ministers and activists comes as residents brace both for the video's release and for word on whether Van Dyke will face criminal charges. The FBI and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office are investigating the shooting, and an announcement on state or federal charges could come as soon as this week. Acree and Hatch said blacks in the city are upset about the shooting and because city officials and the Police Department refused for several months to release the video until ordered to do so by a judge. They said people also are angry because the officer, though stripped of his police powers, has been assigned to desk duty and not fired. "They had the opportunity to be a good example and a model across the country on how to improve police and community relations and they missed it," Acree said. The Police Department has said it refused to release the video out of concern that doing so would hamper the federal and state investigations. The department said placing an officer on desk duty after a shooting is standard procedure and that it is prohibited from doing anything more during the investigations. 7     From: Spector, Stephen Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 1:54 PM To: Klinzman, Grant; Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: Re: Social Fyi as I'm sure you saw, all cams are setting up in 5th floor lobby near elevators    From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 10:50 AM To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social Chicago leaders urge calm before police shooting video released From CNN ‐      http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/23/us/laquan‐mcdonald‐chicago‐dashcam‐video/index.html?sr=twCNN112315laquan‐ mcdonald‐chicago‐dashcam‐video0254PMVODtopLink&linkId=18969938       From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 10:23 AM To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social FYI hearing that Pfleger is leading a March downtown on Wednesday. Assuming we already know about this – but if not.    From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2015 11:57 AM To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: Re: Social LH/SS - can one of you do the post 12:30 presser report and I can do another status report this evening?

The charges provide the Police Department (CPD) with its first opportunity to suspend Van Dyke without pay, an action that was promptly taken this afternoon.    Additionally, CPD is releasing dash‐cam video of the shooting, which keeps with the City’s commitment to release the video once the criminal investigation is complete and in accordance with a judge’s ruling that the video be released by Wednesday.     The video will be available via download at http://video11242015.azurewebsites.net/ today from 5:00PM to 7:00PM. The password required to download the video can be obtained from CPD News Affairs.    “Across Chicago there are thousands of police officers who protect our communities every day with the highest professional standards. As the State’s Attorney made clear, Jason Van Dyke’s actions violated those standards and also the moral standards that bind our community together. Rather than uphold the law, he took the law into his own hands and it’s now up to the justice system to hold him accountable. But his actions are in no way a reflection of the dedication and professionalism that our police officers exemplify every day and that our residents expect throughout our city.”    INSERT FINAL GARRY STATEMENT  Below is a brief history of key events surrounding the shooting and the subsequent investigation.   On October 20, 2014 at 41st and Pulaski, Van Dyke shot and killed Laquan McDonald, who was wielding a knife.   1        The Independent Police Review Authority (IPRA), a civilian independent agency, is charged with investigating all officer‐involved shootings. IPRA opened its investigation into this incident within hours of the shooting. Between October 20 and October 28, 2014, IPRA interviewed witnesses and collected evidence.   For every officer‐involved shooting, IPRA sends the evidence to the Cook County State’s Attorney so that state prosecutors can determine whether to pursue a criminal investigation. On October 29, 2014, IPRA sent the evidence in this case, including the dash camera video, to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office. The evidence was also later shared with the FBI and the Office of the U.S. Attorney as prosecutors initiated state and federal criminal investigation. Per standard practice, IPRA was then required to suspend its administrative investigation so as not to interfere with the criminal investigation.   On October 29, 2014, the officer was stripped of his police powers and placed on desk duty.   On November 24, 2015, Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez charged Van Dyke with first degree murder.  IPRA will now resume its administrative investigation.      This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

Michael Pfleger told his parish at St. Sabina Church in Auburn Gresham to lead the protest during his homily Sunday, drawing on the legacy of "civil disobedience" established during the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. "If you really want to make a statement: Black Friday is coming up. The number one business day," Pfleger said. "Don’t shop on Black Friday and go down to Michigan Avenue and sit down in the street and block the street on Michigan Avenue with civil disobedience peacefully, and say 'business as usual can’t go on while our children are dying.'" The call for protest came a few days after a judge ruled the city must release dashcam video from last year showing Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting McDonald, a 17-year-old with a knife, 16 times. The video will be released by Wednesday, prompting Mayor Rahm Emanuel and other officials to brace for the subsequent outcry. Meanwhile, Pfleger is using it as a call for families to "make a statement" on the busiest shopping day of the year, in Chicago's most prominent retail stretch, about police-involved shootings. Another Chicago police officer, Dante Servin, was acquitted of all charges earlier this year in the 2012 shooting death of 22-year-old Rekia Boyd. "Why is Jason Van Dyke, why is he not fired?" Pfleger said during his homily. "You paid $5 million in a settlement. if you paid $5 million in a settlement you must think he’s guilty. Fire his butt." The Sun-Times reported Monday afternoon that Van Dyke will receive criminal charges Tuesday, and the video is expected to be released at 3 p.m. Wednesday. The Cook County State's Attorney's office did not confirm that. "The state's attorney's office has been engaged in an active and ongoing investigation into the shooting death of Laquan McDonald," a spokeswoman with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office said Monday. "We have been working with our investigative partners at the federal level to conduct a comprehensive investigation." Pfleger's remarks drew applause throughout the mega South Side church, 1210 W. 78th St., whose audience Sunday included cast and crew of the "Chi-Raq" movie. Filmmaker Spike Lee also addressed the parish Sunday. Despite Pfleger's remarks, a representative of St. Sabina said no protest was "officially" being organized when asked Monday by DNAinfo.     From: Spector, Stephen Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 2:46 PM To: Klinzman, Grant; Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social But Hatch and the Rev. Ira Acree said it is a rare occurrence and shows the mayor is concerned there might be violence. "We have been trying to meet with the mayor since the beginning of the year to talk about community relations and his staff asks for a letter and says 'We'll get back to you,' but they never do," Acree said. Hatch said: "This has the feeling of them scrambling." Associated Press: Emanuel Meeting Ministers to Discuss Police Shooting Video Amid concerns about possible unrest, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel invited ministers and community activists to City Hall on Monday to discuss the upcoming release of a video that shows a white police officer fatally shooting a black teenager last year. Seventeen-year-old Laquan McDonald was shot 16 times. Police have said he refused to drop a knife. 6 There is growing concern in the community about what could happen when people see the incident for themselves. A judge last week ordered the police department to release the police car dashcam footage by Wednesday. Two ministers invited to meet with Emanuel said they think the mayor will solicit their help in preventing the kind of unrest seen in Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri, after the killings of young black men by police in those cities. "We are assuming he is going to ask us to call for calm," the Rev. Marshall Hatch said. Emanuel's office characterized the meeting as something "we regularly do on important topics." But Hatch and the Rev. Ira Acree said it is a rare occurrence and shows the mayor is concerned there might be violence. "We have been trying to meet with the mayor since the beginning of the year to talk about community relations and his staff asks for a letter and says 'We'll get back to you,' but they never do," Acree said. Hatch said: "This has the feeling of them scrambling." The shooting occurred on Oct. 20, 2014, as police responded to a 911 call of a man carrying a knife. Lawyers for McDonald's family who have seen the video say it shows the teen with a small knife and walking away from officers. They say Officer Jason Van Dyke opens fire from about 15 feet and keeps shooting after the teen falls. Emanuel's meeting with ministers and activists comes as residents brace both for the video's release and for word on whether Van Dyke will face criminal charges. The FBI and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office are investigating the shooting, and an announcement on state or federal charges could come as soon as this week. Acree and Hatch said blacks in the city are upset about the shooting and because city officials and the Police Department refused for several months to release the video until ordered to do so by a judge. They said people also are angry because the officer, though stripped of his police powers, has been assigned to desk duty and not fired. "They had the opportunity to be a good example and a model across the country on how to improve police and community relations and they missed it," Acree said. The Police Department has said it refused to release the video out of concern that doing so would hamper the federal and state investigations. The department said placing an officer on desk duty after a shooting is standard procedure and that it is prohibited from doing anything more during the investigations.     From: Spector, Stephen Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 1:54 PM To: Klinzman, Grant; Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: Re: Social Fyi as I'm sure you saw, all cams are setting up in 5th floor lobby near elevators   From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 10:50 AM 7 To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social Chicago leaders urge calm before police shooting video released From CNN ‐      http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/23/us/laquan‐mcdonald‐chicago‐dashcam‐video/index.html?sr=twCNN112315laquan‐ mcdonald‐chicago‐dashcam‐video0254PMVODtopLink&linkId=18969938       From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 10:23 AM To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social FYI hearing that Pfleger is leading a March downtown on Wednesday. Assuming we already know about this – but if not.    From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2015 11:57 AM To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: Re: Social LH/SS - can one of you do the post 12:30 presser report and I can do another status report this evening?

The charges provide the Police Department (CPD) with its first opportunity to suspend Van Dyke without pay, an action that was promptly taken this afternoon.    Additionally, CPD is releasing dash‐cam video of the shooting, which keeps with the City’s commitment to release the video once the criminal investigation is complete and in accordance with a judge’s ruling that the video be released by Wednesday.     The video will be available via download at http://video11242015.azurewebsites.net/ today from 5:00PM to 7:00PM. The password required to download the video can be obtained from CPD News Affairs.    “Across Chicago there are thousands of police officers who protect our communities every day with the highest professional standards. As the State’s Attorney made clear, Jason Van Dyke’s actions violated those standards and also the moral standards that bind our community together. Rather than uphold the law, he took the law into his own hands and it’s now up to the justice system to hold him accountable. But his actions are in no way a reflection of the dedication and professionalism that our police officers exemplify every day and that our residents expect throughout our city.”    INSERT FINAL GARRY STATEMENT  2 Below is a brief history of key events surrounding the shooting and the subsequent investigation.   On October 20, 2014 at 41st and Pulaski, Van Dyke shot and killed Laquan McDonald, who was wielding a knife.    The Independent Police Review Authority (IPRA), a civilian independent agency, is charged with investigating all officer‐involved shootings. IPRA opened its investigation into this incident within hours of the shooting. Between October 20 and October 28, 2014, IPRA interviewed witnesses and collected evidence.    For every officer‐involved shooting, IPRA sends the evidence to the Cook County State’s Attorney so that state prosecutors can determine whether to pursue a criminal investigation. On October 29, 2014, IPRA sent the evidence in this case, including the dash camera video, to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office. The evidence was also later shared with the FBI and the Office of the U.S. Attorney as prosecutors initiated state and federal criminal investigation. Per standard practice, IPRA was then required to suspend its administrative investigation so as not to interfere with the criminal investigation.    On October 29, 2014, the officer was stripped of his police powers and placed on desk duty.    On November 24, 2015, Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez charged Van Dyke with first degree murder.   IPRA will now resume its administrative investigation.          This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

The charges provide the Police Department (CPD) with its first opportunity to suspend Van Dyke without pay, an action that was promptly taken this afternoon. Additionally, CPD is releasing dash-cam video of the shooting, which keeps with the City’s commitment to release the video in accordance with a judge’s ruling that the video be released by Wednesday. The video will be available via download at http://video11242015.azurewebsites.net/ today from 5:00PM to 7:00PM. The password required to download the video can be obtained from CPD News Affairs. “Across Chicago there are thousands of police officers who protect our communities every day with the highest professional standards. As the State’s Attorney made clear, Jason Van Dyke’s actions violated those standards and also the moral standards that bind our community together. Rather than uphold the law, he took the law into his own hands and it’s now up to the justice system to hold him accountable. But his actions are in no way a reflection of the dedication and professionalism that our police officers exemplify every day and that our residents expect throughout our city.” “Police officers are given a tremendous amount of authority to protect our communities, and it is incumbent on every officer to display their best judgment when exercising that authority,” said Superintendent Garry McCarthy. “Thousands of officers do so every day, but there must also be accountability for those who don’t. Because of the authority we are entrusted with, any time a life is lost at the hand of a police officer, the incident requires serious scrutiny and review. Officer Van Dyke’s actions were wrong. Because of that a life was lost, and he will have to account for his actions.” 312-745-6110 · 3510 South Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60653 · Fax 312-745-6999 Below is a brief history of key events surrounding the shooting and the subsequent investigation. · On October 20, 2014 at 41st and Pulaski, Van Dyke shot and killed Laquan McDonald, who was carrying a knife. · The Independent Police Review Authority (IPRA), a civilian independent agency, is charged with investigating all officer-involved shootings.

IPRA opened its investigation into this incident within hours of the shooting. Between Oct. 20 and Oct. 28, IPRA interviewed witnesses and collected evidence. On Oct. 29, the officer was stripped of his police powers. • For every officer-involved shooting, IPRA sends the evidence to the Cook County State’s Attorney so that state prosecutors can determine whether to pursue a criminal investigation. Several days after the incident, IPRA sent the evidence in this case, including the dash camera video, to the Cook County States Attorney’s Office. The evidence was also later shared with the FBI and the Office of the U.S. Attorney as prosecutors initiated state and federal criminal investigation. Per standard practice, IPRA then suspended its administrative investigation so as not to interfere with the criminal investigation. • On November 24, 2015, the Cook County States Attorney Anita Alvarez charged officer Van Dyke with first degree murder. • That same day, the Chicago Police Department suspended him without pay. • Once the criminal case has concluded, IPRA will resume and finish its administrative investigation. Q&A Q: Why wouldn’t the city release the video? A: The video is evidence in an active criminal investigation and a grand jury has been convened to determine whether criminal charges should be brought. We did not want to do anything that might interfere with the ongoing investigation. For example, releasing a video during a pending investigation has the potential to compromise eyewitness testimony because witnesses may adjust their testimony to fit what they or others perceive in the video. Not releasing evidence during an ongoing criminal investigation is consistent with the longstanding practice of federal, state and local law enforcement authorities. As we stated months ago, the City planned to release the video once the investigation had concluded. Q: What is the status of IPRA’s investigation into this incident? A: IPRA started its investigation immediately after the shooting. After collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses, IPRA sent the evidence to state and federal prosecutors who initiated a criminal investigation. Once the criminal investigation started, per standard practice, IPRA had to suspend its investigation so as not to interfere with the criminal proceedings. Q: Why was the Chicago Police Department able to suspend this officer without pay? A: The Chicago Police Department requires that officers be able to lawfully carry a firearm as a condition of their employment. After the Cook County State’s Attorney charged Officer Van Dyke with first degree murder, the States Attorney revoked his Firearm Owner ID Card, making it clear that he can no longer lawfully carry a firearm. The officer was immediately suspended without pay. Q: When an officer is not currently facing criminal charges, as is true for Officer Dante Servin, what is the process for terminating that officer’s employment? A: The Independent Police Review Authority is responsible for investigating all police-involved shooting incidents. When a criminal investigation emerges from the same incident, IPRA’s investigation is placed on hold until the criminal investigation is complete. Once IPRA resumes its investigation, it may recommend an officer be terminated. At that point the Superintendent has 60 days to review the recommendation, and if he agrees, charges are filed with the Police Board. The Police Board will then hold a hearing and make a final determination. From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: DeputyAdmin Tuesday, November 24, 2015 6:13 PM Escalante;lohn J.

Michael Pfleger told his parish at St. Sabina Church in Auburn Gresham to lead the protest during his homily Sunday, drawing on the legacy of "civil disobedience" established during the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. "If you really want to make a statement: Black Friday is coming up. The number one business day," Pfleger said. "Don’t shop on Black Friday and go down to Michigan Avenue and sit down in the street and block the street on Michigan Avenue with civil disobedience peacefully, and say 'business as usual can’t go on while our children are dying.'" The call for protest came a few days after a judge ruled the city must release dashcam video from last year showing Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting McDonald, a 17-year-old with a knife, 16 times. The video will be released by Wednesday, prompting Mayor Rahm Emanuel and other officials to brace for the subsequent outcry. Meanwhile, Pfleger is using it as a call for families to "make a statement" on the busiest shopping day of the year, in Chicago's most prominent retail stretch, about police-involved shootings. Another Chicago police officer, Dante Servin, was acquitted of all charges earlier this year in the 2012 shooting death of 22-year-old Rekia Boyd. "Why is Jason Van Dyke, why is he not fired?" Pfleger said during his homily. "You paid $5 million in a settlement. if you paid $5 million in a settlement you must think he’s guilty. Fire his butt." The Sun-Times reported Monday afternoon that Van Dyke will receive criminal charges Tuesday, and the video is expected to be released at 3 p.m. Wednesday. The Cook County State's Attorney's office did not confirm that. "The state's attorney's office has been engaged in an active and ongoing investigation into the shooting death of Laquan McDonald," a spokeswoman with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office said Monday. "We have been working with our investigative partners at the federal level to conduct a comprehensive investigation." Pfleger's remarks drew applause throughout the mega South Side church, 1210 W. 78th St., whose audience Sunday included cast and crew of the "Chi-Raq" movie. Filmmaker Spike Lee also addressed the parish Sunday. Despite Pfleger's remarks, a representative of St. Sabina said no protest was "officially" being organized when asked Monday by DNAinfo.     From: Spector, Stephen Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 2:46 PM To: Klinzman, Grant; Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social But Hatch and the Rev. Ira Acree said it is a rare occurrence and shows the mayor is concerned there might be violence. "We have been trying to meet with the mayor since the beginning of the year to talk about community relations and his staff asks for a letter and says 'We'll get back to you,' but they never do," Acree said. Hatch said: "This has the feeling of them scrambling." Associated Press: Emanuel Meeting Ministers to Discuss Police Shooting Video Amid concerns about possible unrest, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel invited ministers and community activists to City Hall on Monday to discuss the upcoming release of a video that shows a white police officer fatally shooting a black teenager last year. Seventeen-year-old Laquan McDonald was shot 16 times. Police have said he refused to drop a knife. 6 There is growing concern in the community about what could happen when people see the incident for themselves. A judge last week ordered the police department to release the police car dashcam footage by Wednesday. Two ministers invited to meet with Emanuel said they think the mayor will solicit their help in preventing the kind of unrest seen in Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri, after the killings of young black men by police in those cities. "We are assuming he is going to ask us to call for calm," the Rev. Marshall Hatch said. Emanuel's office characterized the meeting as something "we regularly do on important topics." But Hatch and the Rev. Ira Acree said it is a rare occurrence and shows the mayor is concerned there might be violence. "We have been trying to meet with the mayor since the beginning of the year to talk about community relations and his staff asks for a letter and says 'We'll get back to you,' but they never do," Acree said. Hatch said: "This has the feeling of them scrambling." The shooting occurred on Oct. 20, 2014, as police responded to a 911 call of a man carrying a knife. Lawyers for McDonald's family who have seen the video say it shows the teen with a small knife and walking away from officers. They say Officer Jason Van Dyke opens fire from about 15 feet and keeps shooting after the teen falls. Emanuel's meeting with ministers and activists comes as residents brace both for the video's release and for word on whether Van Dyke will face criminal charges. The FBI and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office are investigating the shooting, and an announcement on state or federal charges could come as soon as this week. Acree and Hatch said blacks in the city are upset about the shooting and because city officials and the Police Department refused for several months to release the video until ordered to do so by a judge. They said people also are angry because the officer, though stripped of his police powers, has been assigned to desk duty and not fired. "They had the opportunity to be a good example and a model across the country on how to improve police and community relations and they missed it," Acree said. The Police Department has said it refused to release the video out of concern that doing so would hamper the federal and state investigations. The department said placing an officer on desk duty after a shooting is standard procedure and that it is prohibited from doing anything more during the investigations.     From: Spector, Stephen Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 1:54 PM To: Klinzman, Grant; Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: Re: Social Fyi as I'm sure you saw, all cams are setting up in 5th floor lobby near elevators   From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 10:50 AM 7 To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social Chicago leaders urge calm before police shooting video released From CNN ‐      http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/23/us/laquan‐mcdonald‐chicago‐dashcam‐video/index.html?sr=twCNN112315laquan‐ mcdonald‐chicago‐dashcam‐video0254PMVODtopLink&linkId=18969938       From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 10:23 AM To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social FYI hearing that Pfleger is leading a March downtown on Wednesday. Assuming we already know about this – but if not.    From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2015 11:57 AM To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: Re: Social LH/SS - can one of you do the post 12:30 presser report and I can do another status report this evening?

McCarthy Superintendent For Immediate Release November 24, 2015 Anthony Guglielmi Director Contact: Office of News Affairs 312-745-6110 CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT RELEASES DASH-CAM VIDEO IN SHOOTING OF LAQUAN MCDONALD Officer Charged Suspended Without Pay Earlier today, Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez filed first degree murder charges against police officer Jason Van Dyke in the October 2014 shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. The charges provide the Police Department (CPD) with its first opportunity to suspend Van Dyke without pay, an action that was promptly taken this afternoon. Additionally, CPD is releasing dash-cam video of the shooting, which keeps with the City’s commitment to release the video in accordance with a judge’s ruling that the video be released by Wednesday. The video will be available via download at http://video11242015.azurewebsites.net/ today from 5:00PM to 7:00PM. The password required to download the video can be obtained from CPD News Affairs. “Across Chicago there are thousands of police officers who protect our communities every day with the highest professional standards. As the State’s Attorney made clear, Jason Van Dyke’s actions violated those standards and also the moral standards that bind our community together. Rather than uphold the law, he took the law into his own hands and it’s now up to the justice system to hold him accountable. But his actions are in no way a reflection of the dedication and professionalism that our police officers exemplify every day and that our residents expect throughout our city.” “Police officers are given a tremendous amount of authority to protect our communities, and it is incumbent on every officer to display their best judgment when exercising that authority,” said Superintendent Garry McCarthy. “Thousands of officers do so every day, but there must also be accountability for those who don’t. Because of the authority we are entrusted with, any time a life is lost at the hand of a police officer, the incident requires serious scrutiny and review. Officer Van Dyke’s actions were wrong. Because of that a life was lost, and he will have to account for his actions.” 312-745-6110 · 3510 South Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60653 · Fax 312-745-6999 Below is a brief history of key events surrounding the shooting and the subsequent investigation. · On October 20, 2014 at 41st and Pulaski, Van Dyke shot and killed Laquan McDonald, who was carrying a knife. · The Independent Police Review Authority (IPRA), a civilian independent agency, is charged with investigating all officer-involved shootings. IPRA opened its investigation into this incident within hours of the shooting. Between October 20 and October 28, 2014, IPRA interviewed witnesses and collected evidence. · For every officer-involved shooting, IPRA sends the evidence to the Cook County State’s Attorney so that state prosecutors can determine whether to pursue a criminal investigation. On October 29, 2014, IPRA sent the evidence in this case to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office. The evidence was also later shared with the FBI and the Office of the U.S. Attorney as prosecutors initiated state and federal criminal investigations. Per standard practice, IPRA then suspended its administrative investigation so as not to interfere with the criminal investigation. · On October 30, 2014, the officer was stripped of his police powers and placed on desk duty. · On November 24, 2015, Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez charged Van Dyke with first degree murder. Chicago Police Department then immediately suspended him without pay. ### Fact Sheet Regarding the Shooting of Laquan McDonald Brief Facts and Timeline for the Incident and Investigation • On October 20, 2014 at 41st and Pulaski, a Chicago police officer shot and killed a juvenile, Laquan McDonald, who was carrying a knife. • The Independent Police Review Authority (IPRA), a civilian independent agency, is charged with investigating all officer-involved shootings. IPRA opened its investigation into this incident within hours of the shooting. Between Oct. 20 and Oct. 28, IPRA interviewed witnesses and collected evidence. On Oct. 29, the officer was stripped of his police powers. • For every officer-involved shooting, IPRA sends the evidence to the Cook County State’s Attorney so that state prosecutors can determine whether to pursue a criminal investigation. Several days after the incident, IPRA sent the evidence in this case, including the dash camera video, to the Cook County States Attorney’s Office. The evidence was also later shared with the FBI and the Office of the U.S. Attorney as prosecutors initiated state and federal criminal investigation. Per standard practice, IPRA then suspended its administrative investigation so as not to interfere with the criminal investigation. • On November 24, 2015, the Cook County States Attorney Anita Alvarez charged officer Van Dyke with first degree murder. • That same day, the Chicago Police Department suspended him without pay. • Once the criminal case has concluded, IPRA will resume and finish its administrative investigation. Q&A Q: Why wouldn’t the city release the video? A: The video is evidence in an active criminal investigation and a grand jury has been convened to determine whether criminal charges should be brought. We did not want to do anything that might interfere with the ongoing investigation. For example, releasing a video during a pending investigation has the potential to compromise eyewitness testimony because witnesses may adjust their testimony to fit what they or others perceive in the video. Not releasing evidence during an ongoing criminal investigation is consistent with the longstanding practice of federal, state and local law enforcement authorities. As we stated months ago, the City planned to release the video once the investigation had concluded. Q: What is the status of IPRA’s investigation into this incident? A: IPRA started its investigation immediately after the shooting. After collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses, IPRA sent the evidence to state and federal prosecutors who initiated a criminal investigation. Once the criminal investigation started, per standard practice, IPRA had to suspend its investigation so as not to interfere with the criminal proceedings. Q: Why was the Chicago Police Department able to suspend this officer without pay? A: The Chicago Police Department requires that officers be able to lawfully carry a firearm as a condition of their employment. After the Cook County State’s Attorney charged Officer Van Dyke with first degree murder, the States Attorney revoked his Firearm Owner ID Card, making it clear that he can no longer lawfully carry a firearm. The officer was immediately suspended without pay. Q: When an officer is not currently facing criminal charges, as is true for Officer Dante Servin, what is the process for terminating that officer’s employment? A: The Independent Police Review Authority is responsible for investigating all police-involved shooting incidents. When a criminal investigation emerges from the same incident, IPRA’s investigation is placed on hold until the criminal investigation is complete. Once IPRA resumes its investigation, it may recommend an officer be terminated. At that point the Superintendent has 60 days to review the recommendation, and if he agrees, charges are filed with the Police Board. The Police Board will then hold a hearing and make a final determination.

Because of that a life was lost, and he will have to account for his actions.” 312-745-6110 · 3510 South Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60653 · Fax 312-745-6999 Below is a brief history of key events surrounding the shooting and the subsequent investigation. · On October 20, 2014 at 41st and Pulaski, Van Dyke shot and killed Laquan McDonald, who was carrying a knife. · The Independent Police Review Authority (IPRA), a civilian independent agency, is charged with investigating all officer-involved shootings.

IPRA opened its investigation into this incident within hours of the shooting. Between Oct. 20 and Oct. 28, IPRA interviewed witnesses and collected evidence. On Oct. 29, the officer was stripped of his police powers. • For every officer-involved shooting, IPRA sends the evidence to the Cook County State’s Attorney so that state prosecutors can determine whether to pursue a criminal investigation. Several days after the incident, IPRA sent the evidence in this case, including the dash camera video, to the Cook County States Attorney’s Office. The evidence was also later shared with the FBI and the Office of the U.S. Attorney as prosecutors initiated state and federal criminal investigation. Per standard practice, IPRA then suspended its administrative investigation so as not to interfere with the criminal investigation. • On November 24, 2015, the Cook County States Attorney Anita Alvarez charged officer Van Dyke with first degree murder. • That same day, the Chicago Police Department suspended him without pay. • Once the criminal case has concluded, IPRA will resume and finish its administrative investigation. Q&A Q: Why wouldn’t the city release the video? A: The video is evidence in an active criminal investigation and a grand jury has been convened to determine whether criminal charges should be brought. We did not want to do anything that might interfere with the ongoing investigation. For example, releasing a video during a pending investigation has the potential to compromise eyewitness testimony because witnesses may adjust their testimony to fit what they or others perceive in the video. Not releasing evidence during an ongoing criminal investigation is consistent with the longstanding practice of federal, state and local law enforcement authorities. As we stated months ago, the City planned to release the video once the investigation had concluded. Q: What is the status of IPRA’s investigation into this incident? A: IPRA started its investigation immediately after the shooting. After collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses, IPRA sent the evidence to state and federal prosecutors who initiated a criminal investigation. Once the criminal investigation started, per standard practice, IPRA had to suspend its investigation so as not to interfere with the criminal proceedings. Q: Why was the Chicago Police Department able to suspend this officer without pay? A: The Chicago Police Department requires that officers be able to lawfully carry a firearm as a condition of their employment. After the Cook County State’s Attorney charged Officer Van Dyke with first degree murder, the States Attorney revoked his Firearm Owner ID Card, making it clear that he can no longer lawfully carry a firearm. The officer was immediately suspended without pay. Q: When an officer is not currently facing criminal charges, as is true for Officer Dante Servin, what is the process for terminating that officer’s employment? A: The Independent Police Review Authority is responsible for investigating all police-involved shooting incidents. When a criminal investigation emerges from the same incident, IPRA’s investigation is placed on hold until the criminal investigation is complete. Once IPRA resumes its investigation, it may recommend an officer be terminated. At that point the Superintendent has 60 days to review the recommendation, and if he agrees, charges are filed with the Police Board. The Police Board will then hold a hearing and make a final determination. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 24, 2015 CONTACT: Mayor’s Press Office 312.744.3334 press@cityofchicago.org STATEMENT FROM MAYOR EMANUEL ON MURDER CHARGES AGAINST JASON VAN DYKE “Across Chicago there are thousands of police officers who protect our communities every day with the highest professional standards. As the State’s Attorney made clear, Jason Van Dyke’s actions violated those standards and also the moral standards that bind our community together. Rather than uphold the law, he took the law into his own hands and it’s now up to the justice system to hold him accountable. But his actions are in no way a reflection of the dedication and professionalism that our police officers exemplify every day and that our residents expect throughout our city.” ### From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Spector, Stephen Tuesday, November 24, 2015 7:04 PM Klinzman, Grant;Huffman, Lauren;Quinn, Kelley Collins, Adam RE: Social Sarah Karp: Does anyone think it is worrisome that skl system run by Rahm is sending out toolkit on how to talk abt #LaquanMcDonald murder?    From: Spector, Stephen Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 7:02 PM To: Klinzman, Grant; Huffman, Lauren; Quinn, Kelley Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social AP: Businesses advise tenants to prepare for protests    Businesses in Chicago are advising tenants to be prepared for protests as Chicago officials release a video showing a  white police officer shooting a black teenager 16 times.    Some management companies have said they intend to operate as usual but are prepared to lock down buildings if  protests become unruly.    Prominent clergy members are calling for peaceful protests and civil disobedience as the city prepares to release dash‐ cam video of the 2014 shooting of 17‐year‐old Laquan McDonald. A judge last week ordered the city to publicly release  the video.    Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy also are calling for calm, as are McDonald's parents.    Officer Jason Van Dyke was charged Tuesday with first‐degree murder.    From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 6:48 PM To: Spector, Stephen; Huffman, Lauren; Quinn, Kelley Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social 1   From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 5:41 PM To: Spector, Stephen; Huffman, Lauren; Quinn, Kelley Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social And top Chicago trend     From: Spector, Stephen Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 5:30 PM To: Klinzman, Grant; Huffman, Lauren; Quinn, Kelley 2 Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: Re: Social #LaquanMcDonald is trending nationwide    From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 5:17 PM To: Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen; Quinn, Kelley Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social It was the black youth organization – they just deleted the tweet. I think we are back at Halsted and Roosevelt.       From: Huffman, Lauren Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 5:16 PM To: Spector, Stephen; Klinzman, Grant; Quinn, Kelley Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social Can you send the tweet that says michigan and Roosevelt Lauren Huffman City of Chicago On Tue, Nov 24, 2015 at 3:07 PM -0800, "Klinzman, Grant" wrote: The main youth protest has been moved to Michigan and Roosevelt.    From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 4:28 PM To: Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen; Quinn, Kelley Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social Looks like protestors are gathering at Maxwell and Halsted by Alvarez’s office.       From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 4:14 PM To: Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen; Quinn, Kelley Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social Importance: High QUOTE: 3 Black people please meet at Roosevelt st and Halsted Ave at 5:30pm This is a space for Black rage for Black people. https://www.facebook.com/events/1505404599787890/       From: Huffman, Lauren Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 1:26 PM To: Spector, Stephen; Klinzman, Grant; Quinn, Kelley Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social Natalie Y Moore @natalieymoore 29s30 seconds ago Anita Alvarez: Jason Van Dyke was on scene less than 30 seconds b4 he started shooting.

Michael Pfleger told his parish at St. Sabina Church in Auburn Gresham to lead the protest during his homily Sunday, drawing on the legacy of "civil disobedience" established during the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. "If you really want to make a statement: Black Friday is coming up. The number one business day," Pfleger said. "Don’t shop on Black Friday and go down to Michigan Avenue and sit down in the street and block the street on Michigan Avenue with civil disobedience peacefully, and say 'business as usual can’t go on while our children are dying.'" The call for protest came a few days after a judge ruled the city must release dashcam video from last year showing Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting McDonald, a 17-year-old with a knife, 16 times. The video will be released by Wednesday, prompting Mayor Rahm Emanuel and other officials to brace for the subsequent outcry. Meanwhile, Pfleger is using it as a call for families to "make a statement" on the busiest shopping day of the year, in Chicago's most prominent retail stretch, about police-involved shootings. Another Chicago police officer, Dante Servin, was acquitted of all charges earlier this year in the 2012 shooting death of 22-year-old Rekia Boyd. "Why is Jason Van Dyke, why is he not fired?" Pfleger said during his homily. "You paid $5 million in a settlement. if you paid $5 million in a settlement you must think he’s guilty. Fire his butt." The Sun-Times reported Monday afternoon that Van Dyke will receive criminal charges Tuesday, and the video is expected to be released at 3 p.m. Wednesday. The Cook County State's Attorney's office did not confirm that. "The state's attorney's office has been engaged in an active and ongoing investigation into the shooting death of Laquan McDonald," a spokeswoman with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office said Monday. "We have been working with our investigative partners at the federal level to conduct a comprehensive investigation." Pfleger's remarks drew applause throughout the mega South Side church, 1210 W. 78th St., whose audience Sunday included cast and crew of the "Chi-Raq" movie. Filmmaker Spike Lee also addressed the parish Sunday. Despite Pfleger's remarks, a representative of St. Sabina said no protest was "officially" being organized when asked Monday by DNAinfo.     From: Spector, Stephen Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 2:46 PM To: Klinzman, Grant; Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social But Hatch and the Rev. Ira Acree said it is a rare occurrence and shows the mayor is concerned there might be violence. "We have been trying to meet with the mayor since the beginning of the year to talk about community relations and his staff asks for a letter and says 'We'll get back to you,' but they never do," Acree said. Hatch said: "This has the feeling of them scrambling." Associated Press: Emanuel Meeting Ministers to Discuss Police Shooting Video Amid concerns about possible unrest, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel invited ministers and community activists to City Hall on Monday to discuss the upcoming release of a video that shows a white police officer fatally shooting a black teenager last year. Seventeen-year-old Laquan McDonald was shot 16 times. Police have said he refused to drop a knife. 8 There is growing concern in the community about what could happen when people see the incident for themselves. A judge last week ordered the police department to release the police car dashcam footage by Wednesday. Two ministers invited to meet with Emanuel said they think the mayor will solicit their help in preventing the kind of unrest seen in Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri, after the killings of young black men by police in those cities. "We are assuming he is going to ask us to call for calm," the Rev. Marshall Hatch said. Emanuel's office characterized the meeting as something "we regularly do on important topics." But Hatch and the Rev. Ira Acree said it is a rare occurrence and shows the mayor is concerned there might be violence. "We have been trying to meet with the mayor since the beginning of the year to talk about community relations and his staff asks for a letter and says 'We'll get back to you,' but they never do," Acree said. Hatch said: "This has the feeling of them scrambling." The shooting occurred on Oct. 20, 2014, as police responded to a 911 call of a man carrying a knife. Lawyers for McDonald's family who have seen the video say it shows the teen with a small knife and walking away from officers. They say Officer Jason Van Dyke opens fire from about 15 feet and keeps shooting after the teen falls. Emanuel's meeting with ministers and activists comes as residents brace both for the video's release and for word on whether Van Dyke will face criminal charges. The FBI and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office are investigating the shooting, and an announcement on state or federal charges could come as soon as this week. Acree and Hatch said blacks in the city are upset about the shooting and because city officials and the Police Department refused for several months to release the video until ordered to do so by a judge. They said people also are angry because the officer, though stripped of his police powers, has been assigned to desk duty and not fired. "They had the opportunity to be a good example and a model across the country on how to improve police and community relations and they missed it," Acree said. The Police Department has said it refused to release the video out of concern that doing so would hamper the federal and state investigations. The department said placing an officer on desk duty after a shooting is standard procedure and that it is prohibited from doing anything more during the investigations.     From: Spector, Stephen Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 1:54 PM To: Klinzman, Grant; Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: Re: Social Fyi as I'm sure you saw, all cams are setting up in 5th floor lobby near elevators   From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 10:50 AM 9 To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social Chicago leaders urge calm before police shooting video released From CNN ‐      http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/23/us/laquan‐mcdonald‐chicago‐dashcam‐video/index.html?sr=twCNN112315laquan‐ mcdonald‐chicago‐dashcam‐video0254PMVODtopLink&linkId=18969938       From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 10:23 AM To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: RE: Social FYI hearing that Pfleger is leading a March downtown on Wednesday. Assuming we already know about this – but if not.    From: Klinzman, Grant Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2015 11:57 AM To: Quinn, Kelley; Huffman, Lauren; Spector, Stephen Cc: Collins, Adam Subject: Re: Social LH/SS - can one of you do the post 12:30 presser report and I can do another status report this evening?

Cabinet All – per Eileen’s request, below is a revised email from her to the Cabinet to be sent this afternoon. This  assumes that we have already announced (1) suspending Van Dyke without pay and (2) a press conference at  9:30 am tomorrow (though we can change those facts as needed).  Please let me know if you have edits or  concerns. Thanks   Dear Cabinet Members,   I would like to provide important updates on two police misconduct cases. Many of you may have questions  about these cases and the City’s response.   First, as you have likely heard, the City will release a video at 9:30 am tomorrow showing a Chicago police  officer shooting and killing Laquan McDonald, a 17 year old who was carrying a knife.  The incident occurred  on October 20, 2014. Within hours of the incident, our Independent Police Review Authority initiated an  investigation. Several days later, IPRA sent evidence in the case, including the video, to prosecutors who  initiated a criminal investigation.  At the same time, the officer was stripped of his police powers and assigned  to desk duty.  The criminal investigation is being led by Cook County States Attorney Anita Alvarez and U.S.  1 Attorney Zach Fardon, and the City has been cooperating fully.  Earlier today the States Attorney charged the  officer with first degree murder. Once the charges were filed, the Chicago Police Department suspended the  officer without pay.    Last week a court ordered the City to release the dash camera video of the incident by November 25th in  response to a FOIA request, and we will comply with that order.  Up to this point, the City had declined to  release the video so as not to interfere with an active criminal investigation.  For example, releasing a video  during a pending investigation has the potential to compromise eyewitness testimony because witnesses may  adjust their testimony to fit what they or others perceive in the video. Not releasing evidence during an  ongoing criminal investigation is consistent with the longstanding practice of federal, state and local law  enforcement authorities.     Please rest assured that we are working hard to reach out to community stakeholders, activists, elected  officials, teachers, principals, media and others in advance of the video release.  Yesterday the Mayor  personally met with many leaders and activists to clarify the facts of this case and seek their assistance in  making sure our City reacts peacefully to this horrendous incident.     Second, earlier today Superintendent Garry McCarthy announced his recommendation to terminate Officer  Dante Servin for his fatal shooting of Rekia Boyd.  On Tuesday, the formal charges justifying the termination  will be sent to the Chicago Police Board for review and further action. The Superintendent’s full statement  about his decision is provided below:    “After considerable deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that Officer Dante Servin showed incredibly  poor judgement in his efforts to intervene in a low‐level dispute while off‐duty," said Superintendent  McCarthy. "His actions tragically resulted in the death of an innocent young woman and an unthinkable loss  for a Chicago family and community. In the end, CPD has rules that we all must live by. Officer Servin violated  those rules and he’s going to be held accountable for that."    I have also attached the Mayor’s full statement regarding this decision.    Please feel free to share this message, including the facts of the case, with your employees as you see fit.

THE MURDER OF LAQUAN MCDONALD   POLICE OFFICER GETS CHARGED FOR THE MURDER OF LAQUAN MCDONALD  HOY // MARINA KLAUKE // NOVEMBER 24, 2015  Police Officer Jason Van Dyke went to the criminal court in Cook County on Tuesday morning to face charges  in the shooting death of African American teenager of 17, Laquan McDonald more than a year ago, as  reported Chicago Tribune.  Jason Van Dyke, 37, turned himself in to Cook County prosecutor at 7:41 am at the criminal court of 26th St.  and California Ave., records show. Van Dyke, kept his hands in his pockets, looked straight ahead and did not  answer the questions reporters asked as he walked with his lawyer to the Criminal Court building Leighton.  Van Dyke’s  fingerprints were taken at 8:29 am and he was placed in an individual cell under observation,  according to the record. Van Dyke was unarmed, but brought an inhaler used to treat asthma.  Van Dyke was scheduled to appear at a bail hearing on Tuesday at noon.  Van Dyke is charged with first‐degree murder for allegedly fatally shooting Laquan McDonald, "without legal  justification and with the intent to kill or do great bodily harm," according to the criminal complaint filed  against him.  A video camera shows Van Dyke getting out of your car and, within seconds, unloaded 16 bullets in McDonald,  said lawyers for the McDonald family.  After the first shots left on the floor McDonald, Van Dyke opened fire repeatedly on his young body lying on  the ground, which became a fetal position, according to lawyers.  Police reported McDonald had PCP or PCP in his body when he died, according to the case documents. The  PCP, also known as "angel dust" ‐ can produce its consumer becomes aggressive and combative.  1 Van Dyke, 37, remained in administrative functions with pay, pending the outcome of its investigation, since  the incident occurred in October 2014.  It is the first time a police officer in Chicago receives fees for first degree murder for a fatal incident in service  since almost 35 years.  Van Dyke would face a minimum of 20 years in prison if convicted of the charge of first degree murder.     Meanwhile, Van Dyke's wife, Tiffany, created a GoFundMe page for donations for her husband's bail.  However, the site did not mention the name of her husband and described as a veteran of 15 years "fighting  for freedom and justice.   "It is a highly regarded and respected officer," wrote Tiffany Van Dyke. "He was in a shooting that was widely  publicized in the media and ask for your patience until the facts come out at trial. We want him to come home  with his family during the legal process. "  Until 11 am Tuesday, donors, most of them anonymous, gave more than $ 10,000 of the $ 80,000 that was  requested. The site also had an attractive number of negative comments and, shortly after 11 am, it was  eliminated.

Fact Sheet Regarding the Shooting of Laquan McDonald Brief Facts and Timeline for the Incident and Investigation • On October 20, 2014 at 41st and Pulaski, a Chicago police officer shot and killed a juvenile, Laquan McDonald, who was carrying a knife. • The Independent Police Review Authority (IPRA), a civilian independent agency, is charged with investigating all officer-involved shootings. IPRA opened its investigation into this incident within hours of the shooting. Between Oct. 20 and Oct. 28, IPRA interviewed witnesses and collected evidence. On Oct. 29, the officer was stripped of his police powers. • For every officer-involved shooting, IPRA sends the evidence to the Cook County State’s Attorney so that state prosecutors can determine whether to pursue a criminal investigation. Several days after the incident, IPRA sent the evidence in this case, including the dash camera video, to the Cook County States Attorney’s Office. The evidence was also later shared with the FBI and the Office of the U.S. Attorney as prosecutors initiated state and federal criminal investigation. Per standard practice, IPRA then suspended its administrative investigation so as not to interfere with the criminal investigation. • On November 24, 2015, the Cook County States Attorney Anita Alvarez charged officer Van Dyke with first degree murder. • That same day, the Chicago Police Department suspended him without pay. • Once the criminal case has concluded, IPRA will resume and finish its administrative investigation. Q&A Q: Why wouldn’t the city release the video? A: The video is evidence in an active criminal investigation and a grand jury has been convened to determine whether criminal charges should be brought. We did not want to do anything that might interfere with the ongoing investigation. For example, releasing a video during a pending investigation has the potential to compromise eyewitness testimony because witnesses may adjust their testimony to fit what they or others perceive in the video. Not releasing evidence during an ongoing criminal investigation is consistent with the longstanding practice of federal, state and local law enforcement authorities. As we stated months ago, the City planned to release the video once the investigation had concluded. Q: What is the status of IPRA’s investigation into this incident? A: IPRA started its investigation immediately after the shooting. After collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses, IPRA sent the evidence to state and federal prosecutors who initiated a criminal investigation. Once the criminal investigation started, per standard practice, IPRA had to suspend its investigation so as not to interfere with the criminal proceedings. Q: Why was the Chicago Police Department able to suspend this officer without pay? A: The Chicago Police Department requires that officers be able to lawfully carry a firearm as a condition of their employment. After the Cook County State’s Attorney charged Officer Van Dyke with first degree murder, the States Attorney revoked his Firearm Owner ID Card, making it clear that he can no longer lawfully carry a firearm. The officer was immediately suspended without pay. Q: When an officer is not currently facing criminal charges, as is true for Officer Dante Servin, what is the process for terminating that officer’s employment? A: The Independent Police Review Authority is responsible for investigating all police-involved shooting incidents. When a criminal investigation emerges from the same incident, IPRA’s investigation is placed on hold until the criminal investigation is complete. Once IPRA resumes its investigation, it may recommend an officer be terminated. At that point the Superintendent has 60 days to review the recommendation, and if he agrees, charges are filed with the Police Board. The Police Board will then hold a hearing and make a final determination.

POLICE OFFICER GETS CHARGED FOR THE MURDER OF LAQUAN MCDONALD  HOY // MARINA KLAUKE // NOVEMBER 24, 2015  Police Officer Jason Van Dyke went to the criminal court in Cook County on Tuesday morning to face charges  in the shooting death of African American teenager of 17, Laquan McDonald more than a year ago, as  reported Chicago Tribune.  Jason Van Dyke, 37, turned himself in to Cook County prosecutor at 7:41 am at the criminal court of 26th St.  and California Ave., records show. Van Dyke, kept his hands in his pockets, looked straight ahead and did not  answer the questions reporters asked as he walked with his lawyer to the Criminal Court building Leighton.  Van Dyke’s  fingerprints were taken at 8:29 am and he was placed in an individual cell under observation,  according to the record. Van Dyke was unarmed, but brought an inhaler used to treat asthma.  Van Dyke was scheduled to appear at a bail hearing on Tuesday at noon.  Van Dyke is charged with first‐degree murder for allegedly fatally shooting Laquan McDonald, "without legal  justification and with the intent to kill or do great bodily harm," according to the criminal complaint filed  against him.  A video camera shows Van Dyke getting out of your car and, within seconds, unloaded 16 bullets in McDonald,  said lawyers for the McDonald family.  After the first shots left on the floor McDonald, Van Dyke opened fire repeatedly on his young body lying on  the ground, which became a fetal position, according to lawyers.  Police reported McDonald had PCP or PCP in his body when he died, according to the case documents. The  PCP, also known as "angel dust" ‐ can produce its consumer becomes aggressive and combative.  Van Dyke, 37, remained in administrative functions with pay, pending the outcome of its investigation, since  the incident occurred in October 2014.  It is the first time a police officer in Chicago receives fees for first degree murder for a fatal incident in service  since almost 35 years.  Van Dyke would face a minimum of 20 years in prison if convicted of the charge of first degree murder.     Meanwhile, Van Dyke's wife, Tiffany, created a GoFundMe page for donations for her husband's bail.  However, the site did not mention the name of her husband and described as a veteran of 15 years "fighting  for freedom and justice.   "It is a highly regarded and respected officer," wrote Tiffany Van Dyke. "He was in a shooting that was widely  publicized in the media and ask for your patience until the facts come out at trial. We want him to come home  with his family during the legal process. "  2 Until 11 am Tuesday, donors, most of them anonymous, gave more than $ 10,000 of the $ 80,000 that was  requested. The site also had an attractive number of negative comments and, shortly after 11 am, it was  eliminated.

PM Subject: (NEWS) TRIBUNE: A staggering moment for Chicago A staggering moment for Chicago  TRIBUNE // Editorial Board // November 24, 2015  The video takes your breath away.  It shows a figure, identified by prosecutors as 17‐year‐old Laquan McDonald, felled by gunfire as he walks  away from a line of Chicago police cruisers along Pulaski Road.  McDonald writhes on the ground as a police officer continues to shoot. At one point, another officer steps  close enough to kick what prosecutors say is a knife out of McDonald's hand.  It doesn't square with the story a police union spokesman told at the scene Oct. 20, 2014, the night McDonald  died after being shot 16 times by Officer Jason Van Dyke.  FOP spokesman Pat Camden said McDonald was shot in the chest after he lunged at Van Dyke and his partner  with a knife. "He is a very serious threat to the officers, and he leaves them no choice at that point to defend  themselves," Camden said that night.  "When police tell you to drop a weapon, all you have to do is drop it."  Van Dyke was charged Tuesday with first‐degree murder. Prosecutors said Van Dyke opened fire about six  seconds after exiting his SUV; he emptied his 9 mm handgun in 14 to 15 seconds; he was reloading it when  another officer told him to hold his fire.  A dashboard camera in one of the police cars captured the scene, including several seconds of McDonald lying  crumpled in the road. Besides being hit in the chest, he was shot in the scalp, neck, elbow, leg, arms, hand and  back.  Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez said the video is unlike anything she has seen in three decades in  law enforcement. She predicted it would "tear at the hearts of all Chicagoans."  It does.  The images are so disturbing that the City Council, acting on the recommendation of Mayor Rahm Emanuel's  top attorney, approved a $5 million settlement in April before McDonald's family even filed a lawsuit. The city  fought for months to delay showing the video to the public. But a judge ordered it released.  That prompted Alvarez to move forward with the charge against Van Dyke on Tuesday, instead of waiting for  federal authorities to complete a parallel investigation.  So now we've seen it. It is, as promised, staggering. City officials pleaded for calm as police braced for a long  night. The protests had begun even as city officials were preparing to release the video, with a small group  demonstrating outside the Burger King in the Archer Heights neighborhood where McDonald was shot.  1 They called for police Superintendent Garry McCarthy to be fired, for Emanuel to resign. The Rev. Jesse  Jackson said Alvarez had taken too long to file charges and called for her to step down.  We share the protesters' anger. We understand their urge to hold public servants accountable. We expect  them to make their voices heard. But it will take more than protests, more than the criminal prosecution of a  single cop to repair the often fractious relationship between Chicago's police and its people.  This isn't about a stunning, isolated event. Zoom out, and it's part of a broader nationwide clamor over the use  of lethal force by white cops against black suspects. Zoom in, and it's about Chicago's long‐standing failure to  deal effectively with rogue police officers.  Think back to the decades of systematic torture of suspects at the hands of Cmdr. Jon Burge and his crew, as  prosecutors and police supervisors looked the other way. That stain will be with us for a long, long time.  But the city also has a poor record for dealing with everyday allegations of police misconduct, from  unprofessional behavior to unnecessary force.  A Tribune review of four years' worth of complaints against police officers found that just over 4 percent were  sustained, and in nearly half of those cases, the officer was given a reprimand or a "violation noted." That's it. Some — perhaps most — complaints can't be proved. But the process is also hamstrung by union rules about  how complaints are investigated and appealed. That explains, for example, why Van Dyke remained on paid  desk duty for 13 months before he was charged with a crime. "We don't have at‐will employees, and we can't  just fire them as people expect," McCarthy reminded reporters at a Tuesday news conference before the  video was released.  The Independent Police Review Authority, the civilian board that handles the most serious cases, doesn't take  into account previous complaints against the same officer when investigating a new one. In the Tribune's  analysis, 11 officers racked up a combined 253 complaints that resulted in a single five‐day suspension. Come  on. What does it take to flag a problem cop?  The system should have identified Van Dyke as a ticking time bomb. IPRA records show he was named in 17  citizen complaints — including three alleging excessive force — since 2006. All but two of them have been  resolved, and none resulted in discipline.  Now, he's facing a first‐degree murder charge.  It's not enough for Emanuel and McCarthy to urge calm. It's not enough to talk about the increased training  and supervision that McCarthy says have dramatically reduced the number of police shootings on his watch.  The mayor and his police chief must commit to a thorough examination and overhaul of the disciplinary  process. That must come with a pledge for greater transparency, so the public can see for itself how  complaints against cops are resolved.  Police officers deal with dangerous situations every day. But Chicago's history of slow or no disciplinary action  creates the impression that misconduct goes unpunished. That has to change. The city must make good on its  promise to put cameras in every cruiser and on every cop. And it must stop trying to hide those recordings  from the public.  If not for the video, it's unlikely that Van Dyke would be facing a murder charge. Chicago wouldn't be having  this important discussion.  In the coming days, that video will be viewed again and again. It will send citizens into the street — peacefully,  we hope — and keep them up at night. Those images are deeply disturbing. Chicago needed to know exactly  what happened.    This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

Commander Panepinto oversees the CPD Crime Prevention and Information Center (CPIC). CPIC can serve as a useful tool for all the utility companies working in the Chicago area. The news stories that have been circulating today regarding the potential for violence on the south side and any potential threats to utility workers reminded me today to make sure you had the proper contacts from CPD for the utility companies (I have cut and pasted an article from today). I can tell you that as of a short time ago there are no known threats to utility workers in the city. Also there has been some changes at CPD recently and I was fortunate to be promoted to the position of First Deputy Superintendent. Chief Constantine Andrews took over my previous position and is now the Chief of Detectives.

Escalante First Deputy Superintendent Chicago Police Department Comcast Admits To Avoiding South Side Church Due To Area Violence By Kelly Bauer and Joe Ward ~ November 11, 2015 1:34pm ~ Updated on November 11, 2015 6:lOpm AUBURN GRESHAM —Fearing for the safety of its employees, Comcast canceled six appointments on Chicago's South Side Wednesday due to "heightened potential [for] violence" in the area, a company spokesman confirmed Wednesday. A day after holding 9-year-old Tyshawn Lee's funeral, St. Sabina Church needed some help with its Internet connection —and was turned away because of neighborhood violence. Outspoken anti-violence activist Father Michael Pfleger shared his outrage about Comcast on Facebook Wednesday, writing: "A Supervisor at Comcast just informed us that they couldn't send their technician to repair our Internet service today because our area has too much violence.....ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????? Oh Hell No!!!!!!!" The appointment at St. Sabina's, as well as five others in the area, were canceled after Comcast heard from police that the area could see an uptick in violence, said Jack Segal, Comcast's regional vice president of communications for the Chicago area. "We received police information that there was a heightened potential of violence in the neighborhood," Segal said. "In an effort to ensure the safety and security of our employees, we postponed six appointments in the neighborhood. We reached out proactively to the customers and worked to reschedule them." Segal said Comcast employees would be back in the area on Thursday. The South Side neighborhood near St. Sabina, 1210 W.78th Place, has made international headlines since police say Tyshawn was lured into an alley near his grandmother's house and executed, possibly due to his father's gang ties. The neighborhood has seen a heavypolice presence since the shooting after rumors ofretaliatory violence in the wake of Tyshawn's killing. Segal said Comcast regularly communicates with police and other officials to ensure their service vans do not get in the way ofspecial events or municipal work such as snow plowing. Officer Veejay Zala, a Chicago Police Department spokesman, said sometimes companies reach out to the deparhnent looking for crime information about a specific area, but he was unaware of any communication between police and Comcast this week. A Comcast employee was shot in an attempted robbery in South Shore in 2014. "We serve each and every area ofthe city each and every day," Segal said. Phillip Hunter, the Director of Community Employment at St. Sabina, reached out to the provider after experiencing Internet problems next door to the church. Hunter said a technician was scheduled to come out Wednesday between 3 and 5 p.m., but about five minutes later he got a call back. Comcast said they would need to reschedule "due to safety reasons" for the technicians, Hunter said. When he pressed them further, he was told "there's a lot of gang activity going on in the area" and said a technician could come between 8 and 10 a.m. Thursday. Hunter, who runs a GED class, said about 10 students were supposed to do Glasswork Wednesday and couldn't because ofthe Internet woes. He said he wants it fixed fora 5:30 p.m. class Thursday. "I just think it's discrimination. If we don't get a resolution to this situation and some form ofapology for what I believe to be profiling" then they may switch Internet providers. Another employee of St. Sabina, who declined to be named, said he worked for Comcast in the 80s and police sometimes accompanied technicians to jobs because they would often get robbed.
