It's Tuesday, Dec. 15, and aldermen once again will have their say on the Laquan McDonald shooting, this time at a City Hall hearing where they will take the symbolic step of requesting a special prosecutor to replace Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez in the murder case against Chicago police Officer Jason Van Dyke in the teen's death.
Aldermen have no power to force Alvarez to step aside, and the joint meeting of the Public Safety and Human Relations committees will only be considering nonbinding resolutions in response to the October 2014 police shooting that has garnered national attention and prompted a federal Justice Department investigation into Chicago Police Department practices.
But the hearing is another opportunity for council members to voice their outrage over the shooting and the protracted investigation that followed it before Alvarez announced charges against Van Dyke last month, hours ahead of the court-ordered release of the video of the 17-year-old's shooting. Aldermen already spent several hours taking turns decrying the situation at last week's City Council meeting after Mayor Rahm Emanuel made a speech in which he apologized for it.
