Outrage after horrifying dashcam video shows white Chicago cop shooting black teen SIXTEEN times point blank while he lies on the ground

The shocking video shows officer Jason Van Dyke (circled, left and inset, right) shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald (pictured inset left) 16 times on the night of October 20 last year. The police officer continues to fire at point-blank range for 13 seconds as the young man

lies motionless on the ground, smoke rising from his back (pictured right). Within hours of the video's release, hundreds of protesters had taken to the streets, chanting '16 shots' and forming human blockades across roads in the city's West Side. Other demonstrators gathered outside police stations as at least two people were arrested in connection to the protests. Van Dyke, who initially claimed he had felt threatened by the teenager, was charged with first-degree murder on Monday.
