chicago police department until just a year ago. >> when you have activity falling off the way it is, and crime skyrocketing, that's a huge problem. >> some people looking at the chicago police department say it's in crisis. >> crisis is a good word. when people are dying, yes, there's crisis, no two ways about it. >> reporter: this crisis inside the police department began in 2014 with the shooting of laquan mcdonald. he was 17 years old. police reported mcdonald was breaking into vehicles and ignored their commands when they said he lunged at one of them with a knife. but dash board video appears to show mcdonald was moving away when he was shot 16 times by a white officer. >> when did you first see the video? >> i saw the video, i believe it was the day after. >> what did you think? >> i said that there's a problem and the officer is going to be accountable for exni

justice department is investigating the chicago p.d. we wanted to talk to mayor rahm emanuel, but he declined. within six weeks of the shooting scandal, investigative stops fell by nearly 35,000. that's when the violence began to surge. how can a police officer, who has take an vow to protect and serve, defend stepping back from taking proactive action -- >> officers are under attack, that's how they feel, right? that's how they feel in this environment. and they're not going to put themselves and their families in jeopardy. >> reporter: frustration among cops deepened with a new order to be more selective about who they stopped, and write a two-page detailed report for every one. it was the result of a threat by the american civil liberties union to sue the department for racial profiling. >> it doesn't seem the filling ou
2:47 am
onerous. >> sure it is. it could take you up to 45 minutes. one of the things in policing that we've been trying to do is knock back the amount of time that officers spend doing paperwork and get them out doing more proactive things to prevent crime. >> reporter: there are reasons for the scrutiny. since 2004, the city has paid out more than $500 million in settlements for police misconduct. a task force appointed by the mayor found evidence of racial bias and reported that nearly 90% of police shootings involved minorities. >> the chicago police department is not racist, but i do know and believe there are racist police officers in the chicago police department. >> reporter: richard wooten broke ranks and talked to the mayor's task force about what he saw during his 23 years as a chicago cop. >> they put me in a car with this guy, and my first couple of stops i saw this guy stop a black guy, several black guys on the street. and they
