One top cop gone after blistering report issued on McDonald case
A scathing assessment by the city of Chicago's inspector general is recommending that at least 10 officers involved in the Laquan McDonald case be fired or severely disciplined - a report that is sitting on the desk of Police Supt. Eddie Johnson, awaiting his action.
Johnson is preparing to clean house, and among the first casualties is Deputy Chief David McNaughton, who retired on Friday, sources said.
McNaughton signed off on the controversial McDonald report, which initially cleared Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke of any wrongdoing in fatally shooting McDonald. McNaughton wrote: "Officer Van Dyke fired his weapon in fear of his life when the offender while armed with a knife continued to approach and refused all verbal direction."
