NAACP National President Among Those Arrested at Chicago President

NAACP National President Cornell Brooks was among those who were arrested at a protest at Chicago City Hall on Monday, November 30. Brooks posted a photo of himself with seminary students in the police wagon after the arrest. The NAACP organized the march at city hall seeking justice for Laquan McDonald, who was fatally shot by Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke in October 2014, and demanding police reforms.The protesters chanted “16 shots, stop the cover-up,” referring to the number of times Van Dyke shot McDonald. They also carried a casket.
McDonald, who was charged with murder last week, appeared in court on Monday. His bond was set at $1.5 million, and it was expected his family would post a $150,000 cash bond. McDonald was charged one day before the city released the dashcam video that shows Van Dyke shooting McDonald. Credi
