COPA Releases Body Cam Footage, Legislation for Teacher Evaluations... | Chicago News Recap April 12

Chicago’s Civilian Office of Police Accountability releases body cam footage from a deadly March traffic stop where officers fired nearly 100 shots in less than a minute. Plus, new legislation aims to close a race gap in teacher evaluations, and stargazers head downstate for a total solar eclipse.

THE ENTIRE CITY IS CHEERING THOSE FINE OFFICERS! Well except for the race hustlers. Seems lot of 'em over at bez. Huh! Who woulda thunk it!

There are consequences for making bad choices. If you want an innocent traffic stop to go well, pull over safely, roll all your windows down, turn off vehicle, have ID ready, turn interior lights on, and rest your arms on steering wheel. Remove stick-up mask, and don't shoot at cops.

Thank you. Why punish the cops when he refused to follow their commands. He decided his own fate on that day.

[@eclectichumans2700]

@@Maui_Gyrl_ Yep sucide by cop

[@user-vi8zg8js8b]

They didn’t apply Themselves as cops though…

[@A_Chicago_Man]

LOl the race hustler with the mic LEAVES OUT the part where the kid fired 11 times form inside the car and fired first. Police follow their training which states basically that if someone shoots at them they are to return fire until the person who shot at them stops moving. CHECK IT OUT EINSTEIN! Also the COPS WERE BLACK! What is the matter with these geniuses at BEZ. BYE BYE!

Also he had a past conviction of firearm possession in a music concert

Families just trying to get money from the city

[@crusaderone1701]

Why does it matter if they were plain clothed or not? Not all cops wesr an actual uniform...

[@Mia-yq1mx]

You didn't know, must be people driving around all over the city of Chicago with light bars hidden in their vehicles pretending to be the police. Some people's kids. SMH

[@marka.bibbins9447]

Why is this woman wearing a facemask?

[@lesw3803]

maybe she has syphilis. It is making a comeback and it is Chiraq

[@lesw3803]

AND the white dude misrepresents the order of events AND the events in general.

"There is a long way to go". Unfortunately, I don't think the people that have to try and get there just aren't capable. If you can't be honest about facts, I'm not too optimistic about them being able to do any better. If it wasn't so serious and sad, it'd be absolutely hilarious. A side note, my boys wear their seatbelts, don't speed, have valid tags, have valid and up to date insurance, stop at stop signs, don't have stolen handguns, don't carry drugs, so they shouldn't get stopped. And when they have been stopped they comply and then get on with their day. And they'll hopefully live to a ripe old age. It does appear that some parents indeed have a LONG way to go!

[@kiwidadygirl]

Why is that chick wearing a mask? Do they realize that absolutely no one takes anyone seriously if they are STILL wearing a mask or nah? Smdh

[@marka.bibbins9447]

The style of that mask appears to be more of a stick up mask and not a medical mask.

[@marka.bibbins9447]

She is secreting her identity and creating an atmosphere of histeria.

[@lanesland]

The woman with the comical red hat ain't missed any meals. She the mom of the perp?

[@MexiMelt1988]

Happy Autism Acceptance Month ❤

[@starlitee]

[@user-vi8zg8js8b]
