Mayor Brandon Johnson is changing his tune on budget cuts that could have landed Chicago in legal trouble.
Former Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke is about to return to Chicago a free man after serving less than half his sentence for the murder of Laquan McDonald.
With Jason Van Dyke poised to finish his prison term this week, it has many critics saying that police reforms sparked by the murder of Laquan McDonald are moving far too slowly.
Protests ensued outside Gov. JB Pritzker's home over the anticipated early release of Jason Van Dyke, the ex-cop convicted of killing Laquan McDonald.
The grandmother of Laquan McDonald spoke out Thursday at a press conference against the upcoming release of former Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke.
"This man is going to walk. If tables turned, my grandson would have never seen the light of day. He shot my grandson 16 times and then reload the gun again."
