Four Chicago police officers fired for cover-up in Laquan McDonald killing

A Chicago police panel on Thursday fired four officers over the shooting death of a black teenager, Laquan McDonald, in 2014, a case that highlighted racial tension in the United States’ third-largest city. The video had a key role in Thursday’s decision, as the images it revealed contradicted police reports, the nine-member city police panel found in a decision released online. “Each respondent’s misconduct is incompatible with continued service as an officer and warrants a penalty of discharge from the Chicago Police Department,” the Police Board of the City of Chicago said in its 55-page decision.
