A federal investigation has been launched into the Chicago Police Department’s practices.
The Chicago Police Department studied other police departments around the country to shape its new policing guidelines, Police Superintendent John Escalante said Wednesday, including the NY and Seattle police departments.
“He is cutting his family trip short so that he can continue the ongoing work of restoring accountability and trust in the Chicago Police Department”, Stephen Spector, another spokesman for the mayor, said in an email.
Nor is it much comfort that the latest shooting has been referred to Chicago’s Independent Police Review Authority, which has cleared officers in all but one of the almost 400 shootings it has examined since 2007. In November 2014, for example, the same month Van Dyke shot and killed McDonald, the city council unanimously approved a five-year contract for Chicago police.
Every police patrol auto will be equipped with a Taser, an electroshock weapon created to disable a person, by June 1, 2016, he said.
But explain to the public, and to the friends and family of the victims, what circumstances led to the deaths of two people at the hands of police.
The chief of the union representing Chicago’s rank-and-file police officers said the de-escalation policy outlined on Wednesday was not a major change from current department policy. The goal in such situations should be to de-escalate potentially violent situations or, if force is needed, to exhaust non-lethal options before resorting to drawing a gun.
According to CBS Chicago, an unidentified officer responded to a domestic disturbance call in which a 911 caller said that LeGrier was a “little agitated” with a baseball bat. A police statement also officers “were confronted by a combative subject” before the fatal shots were fired. Herbert said Tuesday that he was continuing to consider such a request, but for now was satisfied with the selection of Gaughan, of the Circuit Court of Cook County, to hear the case. “Rahm gotta go!” outside his three-story house as four uniformed police officers stood guard.
Herbert had previously said he might seek a change of venue for the trial, citing intense media scrutiny and Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s critiques of Van Dyke.
Reports say that the man soon returned with several others and they began to criticize the Emanuel aide once again.
