Did Officer Van Dyke overreact,YES.
And so did the Chicago Machine with a massive jam-down on the coppers and prosecutors.
Emanuel needed a scapegoat.
“then lied about it and tried to hide the evidence?”
Tried and no convictions.Oh but they were fired.
And that gave us Lori Lightfoot and Kim Foxx, a fine kettle of fish.
“Did Officer Van Dyke overreact,YES.”
Well, I guess technically you could call a homicide an “overreaction”.
“Tried and no convictions.Oh but they were fired.”
He was found guilty of second-degree murder.
Either way, it’s a non-relevant example to what you were claiming to talk about, which was whether a tourist defending themselves against a criminal in Chicago is going to be charged with a crime for exercising lawful self defense.
I assume since you can only cite that non-relevant example that you can’t actually find any relevant examples, which pretty much proves my point. If you want, I can provide plenty of examples of ordinary citizens shooting criminals in Chicago in self defense of themselves and their property and NOT being charged with crimes.
