back room politics chicago style. it all started with an internal red flex moac memo which a whise blower leaked. >> it said this city employees by the name of john bills had received $1500 per camera for every camera that he oversaw the installation of. and there were 384 of thems at that time. >> then another former red flex employee named michael schmidt approached him. red flex ceo karen find leigh finley and john bils. >> john bils had a meeting with karen finley and several of her top executives to coach them on how to behave at the next day at city hall. >> this is schmidt's first time on camera describing what john bills said to him. >> he looked directly at me, i'm going to talk to you like i don't know you and you have to go along with it. i looked at his boss karen finley, she held one finger up like this then put it down and shook her head just a little bit. >> at this point the fix was in. red flex was awarded a contract, worth $129 million to install all the red light cameras. but the investigative artic

let me go back to chicago -- connell: let me go back to chicago for a moment.just forget about the democratic race for a moment and hillary clinton there and bernie sanders and what have you. but on the republican side, the fact that these are the pictures we're looking at in chicago today, the fact that this story is back in the news along with the foreign policy story with terrorists and everything else. what do you think -- >> well, the whole thing happening overseas things are just spinning out of control. the attack on france was almost an attack on the united states. it happened on paris in that scale, by golly, it can happen anywhere. the. connell: the deal, it helped trump, it's helping rubio, cruz is playing off of it, so is chris christy is jeb bush. the refugee camp in jordan has made the news and he's been hurt by this; right? >> he has and rand paul has been hurt as well even though he has a good base. people saying, look, we have to take extraordinary measures, things are real, the nsa wants to try to correlate their phone calls, that's fine, do a

chicago is bracing for protests after the release of a dash cam video footage that shows chicago officer jason van dyke shooting and killing 17-year-old laquan mcdonald in a deadly and disturbing confrontation last october. officer van dyke has now been charged with first-degree murder for shooting mcdonald without legal justification. the dash cam footage has been known to reporters and local activists for some time. they've been seeking its release for months now. and a county judge ruled last week that the video must be released to the public. prosecutors describe the video as, quote, violent, and chilling. there is no audio on this recording. what you will see is graphic. it does not have sound, though. it is graphic, however, and may be disturbing. >> what you just saw there is a portion of what authorities have released tonight. we have stopped the video after those first shots were fired. the chicago mayor rahm emanuel and the police south dakota addressed the volatile situation in a press conference that wrapped up just in the last hour. mayor emanuel urging his city to remain ca

i lived in chicago. i've had interactions with police officers in chicago. chicago, to me, by far, is one of the most out of control police departments when it comes to excessive force than any city. i have lived in philadelphia, new york city, st. louis, birmingham, alabama, i have lived in chicago. there is a problem with chicago police. >> it was perpetuated by 400 days of waiting in this case. >> live pictures of chicago. don't go anywhere. we'll be right back with the breaking news here on cnn. (wind noise) what's happening here... is not normal, it's extraordinary. because there is no stop in us. or you. only go. >>> breaking news on cnn. the streets of chicago, people taking to the streets and protesting the death of 17-year-old laquan mcdonald. a police officer there charged with first degree murder. officer jason van dyke. 37 years old. and people are taking to the streets. let's go to chicago where ryan young is out on the streets with the protesters. how many people are you seeing? where are you and what are they saying? >> walking on michigan now

people in chicago are nervous once the video comes out which is very disturbing the folks in chicagoreact very angrily, here is a white police officer shooting this black teenager. you want even to remain calm. >> yes, we definitely want everyone to remain calm and to pursue nonviolent means of protests and demonstration. but this charge of first-degree murder occurs against a backdrop of a lack of accountability. so where you have 10,000 complaints filed analyzing the study, 19 of which were responded to with disciplinary action. 85% of these complaints were investigated without talking to the officer. the point here is this charge comes against a backdrop, long sordid history. and so i think the authorities have a reason to be concerned in chicago. however, we've spoken with our naacp branches in the city, our state conference, people on the ground, and we're encouraging people, yes, to be nonvie lebts, to express their righteous in-dig thags adignation and ang need nonviolence and certain forcefulness in our protest. you because this is unconscionable. this a 17-year-old young hap

chicago police department.udge we listened to the list reason after reason as to why the chicago police department had no standing to withhold the video from the public. and so for us, we know that videos of black people being gunned down a police officer's are nothing new to the american public, and a broader international public. on the other hand, we also know that between mayor rahm emanuel, superintendent garry mccarthy, there has been moment after moment of inaction and poor decision-making regarding policing in this city. we live in a city where the chicago police department takes up 40% of our budget, all at the same time, just a few years ago, we close over 50 public schools. so it says a lot to us about what and who are city prioritizes and who we don't. y: so here you have the story of a white police officer, jason van dyke, who shot and killed 17-year-old laquan mcdonald on october 14, 2014. talk about, charlene, when you started to understand what had actually taken place. in fact, didn't you have

you saw chicago mayor rahm emanuel there as well as the chicago police superintendent, garry mccarthy, talking about this case, as we've been talking about all day. and the video that is at the center of it, here with us on set, msnbc chief legal correspondent, ari melber, msnbc national correspondent, joy reid. one quick note to our viewers, as well. we were all watching this press conference. it was not your audio or your television that was playing tricks on you. we were not getting on our feed either, the questions from the reporters, which made it a little tough as we were trying to guess at different things they're saying. but one thing that was interesting, ari, i saw your ears perk up on this, we're all waiting on when this video will be released. we're told it's tomorrow, could come tonight. it sounded as if someone asked mayor rahm emanuel whether or not he had seen the video or when he had seen it, and he said, i'll see it when it becomes public like everyone else. is that surprising? >> yes and no. you've had instances like the incident of john crawford iii, the walmart sh

chicago is separated. if we take, quote unquote, the hood, bring it downtown, we see how quickly the police will react then. you cannot tell me there's no funding, there's no resources, we see it, that's why we're upset about it, we know where it's going. the problem is not capability. we believe the problem is priority, they just don't care. >> lamar oversees the brave new word arc dedicated to peace. >> chicago is a violent city right? always been a violent city. what can we do about it then? >> there's so many things, but we ain't got enough money. there's only so much we could do. we could raise awareness. >> okay. raise awareness. >> reporter: if i was an average kid living in chicago what would my life be like? >> up in the things in the community but in their homes. a lot of them live in situations where they're forced to grow up fast. walking down the street, walk to the store, there's not guarantee they'll come back home. just that simple. most kids live with their grandparents, so most kids deal

these are the streets of chicago. live pictures now at 10:06 in chicago central time. 11:06 on the east coast. people are starting to gather and what they are protesting is the death of a 17-year-old. but the video was released today and it was so horrific it caused people to go to the streets. people are outraged, obviously. you think -- you think after the release of this tape do you think the officer can get a fair trial? are they going to change venues or what have you? >> here's the thing, we are good at giving criminal defendants a good trial. i was able to pick a jury in a high profile case. you can get a fair jury in this country. what i don't think we should say is that we should hide the information from the public for the fear we can't get a fair trial. this defense will get a fair trial at this time. >> everyone is filming what is happening. everyone has a video camera out. >> it is 2015. from now forward we will all do this. >> let's listen. >> let him go! let him go! let him go! >> so they are screaming

authorities in chicago, illinois , have released police dashboard camera video showing a chicago police officer fatally shooting 17-year-old laquan mcdonald. it was more than year ago when officer jason van dyke shot the teenager 16 times. but it was only yesterday that van dyke was charged with murder one day before the city faced a , court-ordered deadline to release the shooting video. police had claimed laquan mcdonald lunged at van dyke with a small knife. but the newly released footage appears to show van dyke jumping out of a police car, pointing his gun at mcdonald, and opening fire when laquan is many feet away. the video shows police bullets can generally hitting mcdonald's body even after he falls to the , ground. we will have more from chicago after headlines. in minneapolis, minnesota, nearly black lives matter 1000 protesters took to the streets tuesday night after alleged white supremacists opened fire on demonstrators the night before, injuring five people. police have now arrested three people in connection with the mass shooting, which took place outside a police preci

i think have been building up for many, many years in a great city of chicago. >> in that same chicagole, the police officers, representatives of the police union say mcdonald was shot in the chest and didn't mention the fact he was shot 16 times including while he was lying on the ground in the street. we know some of the statements made by police on that day after are directly contradicted and we've seen the dashcam video right now. so here is the question, with some local residents say they don't trust police. you understand why they say that, is there truth in that? >> well, i think that what we've seen in this case, which once again, we've seen it in many of the high profile cases we've seen is there is an effort to spin the story or really, wolf, to tell a false story about what occurred, and but for the dashcam and we can see that this young man seemed to be walking away from those police officers, but for the dashcam and but for the pressure from the community and from the courts, that video may not have been released. so i believe that the trust is broken there in chicago and

we are about 45 miles from downtown chicago-- downtown chicago being the largest employment center.storically, then, that... that was the core. that was where people traveled to work. the metropolitan area has since evolved and you have subcenters now-- employment subcenters. and we're about two-hours' commute from downtown chicago, whereas to the subcenters, we're as few as 15 minutes away from those subcenters. atoreenesey owing su caededgeik are alcaclose tajs anoreenesey owing su caededgeik firstin these once purely residential subcenters. then businesses themselves followed their employees to this suburban fringe. in the information age, with the growth of white-collar service and high-tech industries, companies no longer need the central business district to prosper. and thanks to the widespread reliance here-- as in the rest of america-- on the automobile, commuters who work in these subcenters can now move even farther away from downtown-- commuters like margot brown. each day, margot takes just 20 minutes to drive from her home in mchenry county through the rural countrysid

we ask for calm in chicago. no one understands the anger more than us but if you choose to speak out, we urge you to be peaceful. don't resort to violence in laquan's name. let his legacy be better than that." the statement from his family tonight as this videotape of laquan mcdonald's death has been made public. now, again, the timing here is crucial for understanding not just what's happening in chicago right now but the overall trajectory of what happened here and why this is a national story. investigators have had this video for more than a year. the city council of chicago in april agreed to pay a $5 million settlement to laquan mcdonald's family because of the shooting. but it was not until today that they finally did bring charges against the officer who fired those 16 shots. they charged that officer you see on the left side of your screen, they charged him today with first degree murder. and now he has turned himself in. this is the first time a chicago police officer has been charged with first degree

the streets of chicago, maybe 100 people there. they have been moving through the south loop or near there fairly slowly. apparently very peacefully, at least so far walking through. there has been some concern of what might happen when this video came out. we had been told for some time that it was bad. and seeing it, it is disturbing to see. with me here tonight, cnn legal analyst and former federal prosecutor, sunny hostin and also retired nypd officer harry howe. sunny, this is a very disturbing video. your reaction? >> i'm heartbroken by it. and i'm disturbed not only as a lawyer, of course, as a former federal prosecutor, given the time to bring these charges given the fact that it's an extremely graphic video but i'm confused and concerned and hurt as a mother of a teenage black boy. we know the statics, john. we know that my son is 21 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than his white friends. there is something fundamentally wrong with our society if that still holds true today, not only in chicago but all o

neil: but pro chicago, obviously pro chicago business. >> yes. neil: this protest and the kind that might be planned today if they get even half as heated block that business. and last time i checked chicago badly needs it; right? >> absolutely. you have 780 businesses on the magnificent mile. now, the corporations and the businesses and the retails, we have 120 million tourists that come and visit throughout the year. one of the major days that we do generate money, which helps to fund a lot of community involvements and projects and give jobs. let's face it neil, the corporation and the advertisement budget and everything everything spent took place before october 20th of last year. i don't understand the correlation here at all. so chicago needs the revenue and we're going to fight to keep it going. neil: what is going on in chicago? obviously with the high sales tax going in effect, highest in the nation, by the way, and these protests a few weeks back demanding tax to pay for all of these city benefits and all of that. >> yeah. neil: there's

i know a lot of the folks in chicago.s a place with robust tradition of organizers and activists and people have been organizing around the chicago police department for a long time. people have known about the video for a long time. before the video came out the city of chicago long ago voted, the city council and mayor approved a settlement with the family based on evidence introduced before the full city council that the shooting recorded on the video was so bad that it was inevitable they would lose a lawsuit. so the facts of this case and what is on the video have been known for some time in the city even if the actual viewing of the video didn't happen until yesterday. >> following the case very closely as are lots of people. we are going to continue to follow this story here over the next few hours. chris hayes will have that interview tonight with the attorney, officer vandyke's attorney. >>> sits down with germany's leader angela merkel as he tries to galvanize support. we have more on the new revelation about th
