rank | Fri Oct 05 20:11:29 2018 The jury has reached a verdict in the murder trial of Chicago police Officer Jason Van Dyke, who is charged with killing 17-year-old Laquan McDonald in 2014. Van Dyke faces two counts of first-degree murder, 16 counts of aggravated battery and one count of official misconduct. He faces up to life in prison if convicted. The verdict is expected to be read at 2:45p ET Friday. here's the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykkxV6oUCOs (kid strolling down the highway w/ a knife, shot 16 times) place yo bets seems like cop guilty of something to me, probably won't get murder though... i'll say 15 counts of aggravated assault |

tumbleweed
rank | Fri Oct 05 22:06:02 2018 you see a dust cloud go up still at 0:45... 13 secs after he fell... probably helped get them to murder if only he had worse aim he could've cut down on the assaults |

tumbleweed
rank | Fri Oct 05 22:15:29 2018 probably none... people don't die instantly like we were led to believe in 1980s action shows skipping around time slider he seems to still make small movements all the way through |

There are some people who are saying he appointed Kavanaugh so Gamble vs US can be overturned meaning if President Trump pardons someone for federal crimes the states can't put them on trial for the same crimes claiming double jeopardy. |

Are they authentic African names or is the purpose to make the kids unique or is there another reason that I'm not thinking of. Just curious, no big deal. BTW, I'm expecting myriad charges of racism so you can save your breath. I am honestly just curious. |
