Chicago Releases Video Footage from 2013 of Police Killing Unarmed Teen
via PBS Newshour
“A federal judge in Chicago ordered on Thursday to release footage from 2013 that shows Cedrick Chatman, an unarmed black 17-year-old, being shot to death by police.
Chatman was killed while running from the police on foot after they spotted him in a car that had been reported stolen.
Chicago city officials had originally filed a protective order to keep the video out of the public eye, saying that its release would sway a potential juror pool. But Wednesday night, they retracted that stance, saying that they would release the video in an attempt to be more transparent with the public.”
