Chicago: A white police officer killed a black teenage boy on a bleak stretch of road outside a Burger King four years ago, on Friday, was sentenced to about seven years in jail.

Court decision has winded up an explosive case that came out from one of the most graphic dashcam videos in United States, and that fueled race discussions and policing and law enforcement’s “code of silence.”

Jason Van Dyke, who is a police officer, emerged first security official of the city performed brutality and became symbol of police’s bad behavior, finally got seven years’ sentence.

Teenager black boy, Laquan McDonald was killed in 2014, while a dashboard camera’s eye captured the whole moment of Van Dyke’s viciousness, while his murdering has reshaped Chicago. However, the police department of city is considered one of the largest in United States, was overhauled.

On other side, the powerful mayor who has been defeated by the fallout, who’s announced he would not run again, shocked entire Chicago.

Van Dyke was found guilty last year of second-degree murder and 16 counts of aggravated battery, one for each bullet that he fired on black teen McDonald. While both side’s legal representatives have accepted court decision that if he behaves in jail, could be released in less than three and a half years.

But McDonald’s family is against the court’s verdict because they were expecting bit more than seven years jail of the 40-year-old. Dead black teen’s great uncle considered the sentence reduced McDonald’s life to that of “a second-class citizen” and “suggests to us that there are no laws on the books for a black man that a white man is bound to honor.”

Before sentence announcement, Van Dyke admitted he killed black teen, communicating the judge, “as a God-fearing man and father, I will have to live with this the rest of my life.”
