16 Shots (2019)

16 Shots: Directed by Rick Rowley. With Anita Alvarez, Dean Angelo, Alma Benitez, William Calloway. A documentary examining the 2014 shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald by Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke and the cover-up that ensued.

“Honestly..this police officer should have been fired long before this incident took place. He had wayyy to many complaints of abuse of authority to still be on the street. But what angers me about these stories is that they clump ALL police officers in the same bubble when MOST police officers are good people who risk their lives daily. Itu0026#39;s like saying EVERY doctor sucks because one had bad bedside manner. Itu0026#39;s stupid!nThe other thing that angers me is the fact that they call this 17 year old u0026quot;just a kidu0026quot; who wanted to make people smile. Hello! He was breaking into cars that night and wielding a KNIFE! Not saying he deserved to die…Iu0026#39;m saying he was not an innocent child. If you are going to give the background of the officer….give the background of the MAN he shot!! Itu0026#39;s dishonest!!”
