Laquan McDonald Shooting Protest
“Fuck the Police!”
NOT TRUE:
“This guy is having a silent protest with this police officer,” said Fowler. “This is his First Amendment right.” (Raw Story)

Megyn Kelly was correct – – “silent confrontation” was NOT silent. – Black protester did more than just stare at a Chicago cop… (Plus, black protesters threatened a white woman) This “silent confrontation” was NOT silent at all…
It looks to me that Jason Van Dyke should have been removed from the Chicago police force long before he fired 16 shots into Laquan McDonald. He had some 20 complaints against him. I’m also perplexed as to why it took 13 months for charges to be filed, and why the family of Laquan McDonald received a reported 5 million dollars before any criminal indictment was ever filed. Once again, we have an independent reporter rather that the “mainstream media” who forced the had of the Chicago Police into releasing the video. This all looks like an attempted cover-up by the Chicago police to me.
I like to follow people who I suspect might be at the center of some sort of controversy. This is a shot I took of the not-so silent protester before he engaged with the police.
This is a shot of the demonstrator yelling at the police. He walked all the way down the line yelling through his bullhorn. He then came back to this officer and continued his verbal assault. I was amazed at how restrained the police were.
This is a shot of the demonstrator engaging with another Chicago police officer. This cop had coughed, and when he did, the demonstrator turned and said “What you coughing for? You want some of this too?” The demonstrator then went on to demand that the officer beat him with his baton – something he continued to say to the other office multiple times. He was obviously trying to aggravate the cops into taking action against him.
The demonstrator taunted this officer for several minutes before going into his “silent confrontation.”
Here’s the demonstrator requesting to be beaten.
Another shot of the demonstrator verbally taunting the Chicago police.
