Van Dyke notoriously fired 16 shots killing the teenager who was carrying a knife.According to a federal court record, four days later, filed on January 22, the government confirms a civil rights investigation of Van Dyke was underway. So, even though Van Dyke had been convicted of second degree murder in state court, the U.S.
The civil rights investigation of this shooting by Van Dyke was still active, with FBI officials requesting search warrants for access to the social media accounts of witnesses to the incident.I-Team reporter Chuck Goudie delves into what it's been like reporting on Jason Van Dyke. "Every day that passes makes it even less likely," said former federal prosecutor and ABC7 legal analyst Gil Soffer.
No shit Sherlock.
As they should have been
Justice is a joke.
But activists demand this
Hmmmm. Covid and Van Dyke: low hanging fruit for poor journalists. In the meantime, Chicago falls apart. How many kids shot just this week? How many felons released to commit crimes again? How many businesses closed? Tourism way down? & U do a story on Vandyke? Very sad…
Liberal media can't move on..
