Roughly 3,000 demonstrators have shut down a large portion of Michigan Avenue in Chicago-the "Magnificent Mile"-in the middle of Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year, to protest the shooting of black teenager Laquon McDonald.
The 17-year-old was killed in October 2014, and was apparently armed with a knife at the time. Video of the shooting released on Tuesday, however, shows that he was walking away from police at the time he was shot 16 times by Officer Jason Van Dyke.
Turnout was strong despite 39-degree weather and rainy conditions. Demonstrators shouted "16 shots!" and "No justice, no shopping!"
The march started at Michigan and Wacker Drive and began walking north. They include demonstrators from the Nation of Islam, which is marching under the banner of "Justice of Else"; RevCom, the Revolutionary Communist Party, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson's Rainbow PUSH coalition.

I'm lucky I have a 440mhz antenna @ 80' in the air on top of my ham radio tower all the way out here in Will County. I can hear everything on 460.250 perfectly. Also activity on 460.150 as well.
NO SHOPPING NO WELFARE.
It’s a “message”...they believe there’s a systemic problem here, that it’s like an unsaid policy to murder blacks.
The video of this incident is claim of proof.
I do want to know if other cops reported this, was there ANY internal investigations? If not, it doesn’t look good. The media loves to fan the flames of this stuff.
Funny how all this is happening under Obama ;|
