Summary:
Laquan McDonald seemingly breathed his last through the bullet holes. As he is perforated, you dont see his blood so much as the visible air that escapes from his freshly made wounds. It looks like bursts of exhaust. The first shot has already come, a mere 30 seconds after Officer Jason Van Dyke arrived and began firing from a considerable distance. It dropped McDonald immediately to the street - not like some kind of cinematic villain, but with a sickening verisimilitude. But you already know that what youre seeing is all too real, and that it both explains why Chicago has hid the footage for more than a year and why youve been dreading its release for nearly a week. Every hit Laquan takes serves as confirmation: Youre watching a 17-year-old, holding a small knife, having 16 slugs pumped into him by a police officer to whom he never speaks, and - contrary to the original police account - never threatens.
