Cops, lies and videotape: the death of Laquan McDonald - The Listening Post (Feature)

When Laquan McDonald, a black teenager, was shot dead by a police officer in October 2014, the police said the officer was acting in self-defense - and for the most part, news outlets covering the story went along with that account. But a video of the killing filmed on a police dashboard camera has told a different story - that McDonald was shot 16 times as he was walking away. That video would never have seen the light had a group of journalists, lawyers and activists not filed a lawsuit to get it released. The Listening Post's Marcela Pizarro tells the story of those who succeeded where Chicago's mainstream media had failed.
