New Documentary Reveals Racist Narrative That Fueled Response to Laquan McDonald


Democracy Now!: "In spite of all of the facts we have about this case, in spite of the video, in spite of all of the evidence that has come forward, those facts are not enough to secure the narrative," says Rick Rowley, director of the new Showtime documentary "16 shots" about Laquan McDonald's murder at the hands of a police officer in Chicago. "There is another story, a competing story, that is very powerful in this country and it is built on racial fear."
