CHICAGO (AP) — The latest on the aftermath of the shooting of a black teenager by a white Chicago police officer (all times local):
7:45 a.m.
Officials of Chicago Public Schools say they’re preparing for the fallout resulting from the video showing a police officer shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald.
The Chicago Tribune reports (http://trib.in/1IhGV0f ) that parents have received a letter from Chief Education Officer Janice Jackson assuring them the video won’t be shown in schools. Jackson also said it is likely students will discuss the video when they return to classrooms Monday.
A six-page “tool kit” was distributed to teachers with exercises designed to help them and their students deal with McDonald’s death and the murder charges filed against Officer Jason Van Dyke.
Teachers union official Jesse Sharkey criticizes the kid for not including a “lesson about the lack of political courage” and “political corruption.”
