COMMUNITY ACTIVIST, DR. HAROLD E. BAILEY, BOLDLY SPEAKS OUT ABOUT THE POLICE KILLING OF 17-YEAR OLD LAQUAN MCDONALD

Nationwide -- It has become apparent to the African American community that a subliminal biased message has been communicated from the 'Trump White House', into States Houses, City Political Houses and into the 'Broken Criminal Justice' arena.Months after being convicted for second-degree murder, former Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke has been sentenced to six years and nine months in prison and two years of mandatory supervised release for the 2014 murder of 17-year old Laquan McDonald. 

Van Dyke shot McDonald 16 times with 9 in the back... on the night of October 20, 2014. Van Dyke claimed that he fired after McDonald failed to comply with demands to drop a knife he was holding and made a threatening move toward police. 

Judge Domenica Stephenson acquitted former Officer Joseph Walsh, Detective David March, and Officer Thomas Gaffney on charges of conspiracy, official misconduct, and obstruction of justice.
