Sharon Fairley, head of the police oversight board that released the video, described the six videos as “shocking and disturbing.”
The teen’s family saw the footage before it was released to the public on Friday. Ja’Mal Green, a family spokesman, told CNN the relatives O’Neal’s mother and sister walked out.
“They can only take so much,” he said. “Once the gunshots started, they immediately left the room … crying, breaking down.”
Michael Oppenheimer, who’s representing the family, said what he saw was “street justice,” with the police playing “judge, jury and executioner.” He praised the relatively early release of the videos but called for a special prosecutor.
According to Oppenheimer, one officer in the video is heard saying: “F—, now I’m going to get a 30-day suspension.”
Isn’t it absolutely amazing that in a lot of these police shootings the cop or cops that are the shooters almost always seem to have a “Magic” malfunction with their body camera and it just magically and tragically seems to shut off right before the shooting and then turn it’s self back on right AFTER the shooting ?!!! I mean WHAT are the odds ?!!! I’d say from the way that things are going in this country with these overly zealous asshole Killer cops a lot of people have just about had enough !!! Those cops in Chicago I think are about to learn their lesson the HARD way because some of the fine folks of the windy city are about to teach them a very hard lesson indeed !!! They might as well just go ahead and either tattoo or paint a big red bullseye on each of their foreheads because they’ve just set themselves up as easily identifiable targets for anyone in Chicago that has a bone to pick or an ax to grind with them to “Even Up The Score !!! Stupid IS as Stupid DOES !!!
