[brid video=”20792″ player=”2077″ title=”Police Dashcam Video of Officer Jason Van Dyke Shooting Laquan McDonald”]

The Chicago Police Department has released the dashcam video footage of Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald on Oct. 20, 2014. Officer Van Dyke shot, who shot McDonald 16 times, and was charged on Tuesday with first degree murder ahead of the video release.

Van Dyke is the first on-duty Chicago police officer to be charged with first degree murder.
