The head of the Chicago Police Department are looking to fire the five police officers who were involved in Laquan McDonald’s death.
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson filed a motion Tuesday for the dismissal of Jason Van Dyke, the officer who shot the black teenager 16 times, in addition to officers Janet Mondragon, Daphne Sebastian, Ricardo Viramontes and Sgt. Stephen Franko. Those officers gave false accounts right after the dash cam contradicted their claims.
This filing comes just two weeks after Johnson had announced his intent to file charges against the seven officers involved in the shooting. One of the officers actually stepped down the day of the announcement while another actually resigned on Tuesday.
