Prosecutors Release Video Of Chicago Cop Fatally Shooting An Armed Man In The Back, No Charges Filed!

The city of Chicago released dash-cam footage Monday that captured a fatal police shooting on the South Side last year. The video shows the fatal shooting of Ronald Johnson, who was shot to death by a Chicago Police officer on Oct. 12, 2014 in the 5300 block of South King. He was pronounced dead less than an hour later. Since his death, his mother Dorothy Holmes and family have been fighting for the city to release the video. Anita Alvarez during a Monday afternoon press conference said Officer George Hernandez was "reasonable" to use deadly force on 25-year-old Ronald Johnson as he was fleeing police on Oct. 12, 2014. Police said Johnson was armed and turned to point his gun at police, a claim the Johnson family disputed in a 2014 lawsuit. Posted By Persist
