In Chicago, a jury will begin deliberating the fate today of officer Jason Van Dyke, who faces a first-degree murder charge for killing African-American teenager Laquan McDonald in October of 2014. The killing was captured on a police dash cam video released under court order, which clearly contradicted police claims about the shooting. The video shows the teenager posing no threat and walking away from the officers before Van Dyke opened fire 16 times, shooting McDonald in the neck, chest, back, both arms, right leg and head. This is Officer Van Dyke being cross-examined by prosecutor Jody Gleason on Tuesday.

Jody Gleason: “Did you ever make a decision to stop shooting that night?

Jason Van Dyke: “Yes, I did.”

Jody Gleason: “And when was that?”

Jason Van Dyke: “Once I recognized that he hit the ground.”

Jody Gleason: “Well, he hit the ground, and you continued to shoot, correct?”

Jason Van Dyke: “On my approach, yes.”
