Where are all these a$$hole Cops at?

It was early on the morning of April 22, 2015, when Portsmouth, Va., police officer Stephen Rankin received a call about a suspected shoplifting.

Responding to the local Walmart, Rankin spotted a young black man walking through the parking lot. The policeman radioed his dispatcher to say he was approaching.

Sixty-two seconds later, after a scuffle, Rankin fatally shot that young black man, 18-year-old William Chapman II, in the chest and face.

On Thursday, a jury convicted Rankin of voluntary manslaughter, rejecting his claim that the shooting was justified.

The same jury, however, also rejected more serious charges and recommended a sentence of two and a half years for the former officer — a quarter of the punishment requested by prosecutors.

CHICAGO— Authorities released disturbing video footage Friday showing the moments before and after Chicago police fatally shot an unarmed 18-year-old car theft suspect in the back.

Shortly before the release of the footage captured by police cameras, the head of the city agency tasked with investigating police-involved shootings and accusations of major misconduct by Chicago Police officers described the footage of the encounter with the teen, Paul O'Neal, as “shocking and disturbing." The officers can be heard cursing at O'Neal as he lays lifeless on the ground, bleeding from his back.

The release of the video footage comes as the department is in the midst of a Justice Department civil rights investigation, launched last year following the court-ordered release of dashcam video that showed a white officer shoot a black teen 16 times on a city street. The officer in that incident, Jason Van Dyke, awaits trial on first-degree murder charges for the death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald.
