onyxslaughterhaus: odinsblog: CHICAGO POLICE SHOOT UNARMED BLACK TEEN IN THE BACK Chicago’s Independent Police Review Authority has released graphic videos in the fatal shootingof unarmed teenager Paul O’Neal as he fled on foot from a traffic stop. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office told Heavy that O’Neal was shot in the back. The videos do not capture the actual shooting because the body cam worn by the officer who fired the fatal shot either wasn’t working or fell off (although four gunshots are heard), ABC 7 reports. However, they do capture officers shooting toward the stolen Jaguar that O’Neal was in, parts of the foot chase, and the shooting’s immediate aftermath, as officers converse and swear while O’Neal lies bleeding and motionless behind a house. “What I saw was a cold-blooded murder,” said Michael Oppenheimer, the O’Neal family attorney. The police have said previously that they did not find a gun at the scene. ABC News reported,quoting the police spokesman, Anthony Guglielmi: “One thing they do know: When the incident was over, police did not find a gun, either on the street or inside the stolen vehicle.” The Chicago Tribune also reported: “O’Neal, who was unarmed, died of a gunshot wound to the back, authorities said.” The first video shows an officer get out of his squad car and shoot at the stolen Jaguar as it drives toward and then past him. A foot chase ensues. The officer gives chase, but an officer ahead of him jumps over a gate. The first officer can’t get over the gate, but multiple gunshots are heard. Then, the officer goes around another way to encounter officers who are gathered around the shooting scene. One officer calls the mortally wounded O’Neal a “mother F—er” and an officer says, “Hands behind your back. Don’t F—ing shoot at us. Put your hands behind your back mother F—er.” (The officer used the actual expletive). Other officers then arrive. The officers who were involved make conversation that is captured in the video, with one saying, “I shot at the car as it almost hit you” and “He almost hit my partner so I f—ing shot at him” and “F-ck man, I’m going to be on the f—ing desk for 30 days.” An officer says to an arriving officer, “I shot…” The cop tells him to relax and he says, “Oh, I’m straight.” O’Neal died shortly after the shooting in a hospital. The officers have not yet been identified. According to The Chicago Tribune, “The city’s use of force policy explicitly bars police from shooting into a car when the vehicle represents the only danger.” The videos show at least one officer firing toward the car after it has driven past.
