The Rev. Jesse Jackson, activists and the family of slain teenager Laquan McDonald met on Monday to call on politicians to launch a federal probe into convicted former police officer Jason Van Dyke.
"Biden you are our president. You say you don’t do enough for the community, for the Black community, for any community that's in the United States, come forward. Because right about now, not only I need your help, we need your help. This is a we thing and we need your help to keep this man locked up. He don’t deserve to get out, period," said Mae Hunter, McDonald’s great-great grandmother.
He's the first Chicago police officer convicted of murder for an on-duty incident in more than 50 years.
