Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson has recommended seven officers be fired for their involvement in cover ups following the fatal shooting of Laquan McDonald.
Tenofficers were investigated for their involvement in the shooting and its aftermath, seven of who were accused of making false reports and giving false statements. Two officers have retired. Police spokesman Anthony Gugliemi said the department “respectfully disagrees” with the general inspector’s recommendation to fire the tenth officer and “feels that there is insufficient evidence to prove those respective allegations.”
