Feds won't file civil rights charges against former Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke in shooting death of DRUGGED UP ARMED FERAL NEGRO Laquan McDonald

Federal prosecutors on Monday announced they will not be filing any charges against former Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke in the 2014 shooting death of Laquan McDonald.

Van Dyke was released from custody in February, after serving 3 ½ years in prison for second-degree murder, following his 2018 conviction by a Cook County jury.

Van Dyke was convicted of second-degree murder and 16 counts of aggravated battery for fatally shooting McDonald in 2014. In early 2019, Cook County Criminal Court Judge Vincent Gaughan sentenced Van Dyke to 81 months in prison, followed by two years of supervised release. Van Dyke served about half that 81-month sentence, because he was eligible to take time off his prison term for good behavior while in custody.

Van Dyke's release after less than four years in prison was a disappointment for some activists and members of McDonald's family, who have called for more charges against him. The Rev. Jesse Jackson is one of the people, along with Bishop Tavis Grant and other members of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, who had been calling for federal civil rights charges to be brought against Van Dyke.

However, on Monday, U.S. Attorney Jon Lausch's office announced Van Dyke would not face any additional federal charges.
