Racist cop who killed Laquan Mcdonald sentenced to prison

Jason Van Dyke has learned his fate for the fatal shooting of unarmed teenager Laquan Mcdonald. According to reports, Van Dyke, has been sentenced to 81 months in prison for his second degree murder charge.

Per the judge’s ruling, he, will also be the subject of two additional years supervised release. Mcdonald was slain by Van Dyke in a racially charged killing (for absolutely no reason) in 2014.

“This is not pleasant and this is not easy,” Cook County Judge Vincent Gaughan said. “I certainly have to take into consideration all the feelings. It’s just so senseless that these acts occur and you can see the pain on both sides.”

Rev. Martin Hunter, Laquan’s great uncle, made it clear that the teen’s family believes the sentence “was light”.;

“It reduces Laquan McDonald’s life to a second class citizen. And it suggests to us that there is no laws on the books for a black man that a white man is bound to honor,” he said. “Clearly, this was murder. The whole world knows it and saw it.”
