Laquan McDonald relative calls police culture racist
A great uncle of Laquan McDonald on Friday said a "corrupt" system and the aftermath of the handling of the teenager's police-related shooting death was "America's and Chicago's chickens coming home to roost."
"Laquan was a big boy, but he was a teddy bear," said Marvin Hunter, pastor of the Grace Memorial Baptist Church.
When Chicago Police initially said that McDonald lunged at officers at the scene before Officer Jason Van Dyke opened fire, Hunter said relatives immediately doubted the account of the shooting.
Hunter called for a change in what he said is a systematic racist culture that led to McDonalds death.
