MURDER ~

        There’s deep concern that if Jason Van Dyke, the police officer who killed Laquan McDonald, is          acquitted of murder, already aggrieved parts of Chicago could erupt in anger.

MURDER ~

L I V E S      M A T T E R

                                              to Emmett Till

Laquan McDonald (black)

what a fine and dignified name

isn’t even 18 years old

and dead

murdered by

Jason Van Dyke (white)

a policeman

on a busy Chicago street

in plain view

execution-style

millions have died

a natural death

since Laquan McDonald

was born

but he isn’t

one of them
