An unidentified police officer fatally shot 13-year-old Adam Toledo on March 29. Chicago officials only released the video on Thursday night.
On Friday Chcago Mayor Lori Lightfoot urged calm after the release of the police bodycam.
Lightfoot also attacked the city police saying,
“We must deal with the cancerous role of illegal firearms that plague every Chicago community. We must face and not ignore the fact that Chicago, as well as way too many parts of our country, has a long legacy of police violence and police misconduct. That has left far too many residents especially those that are black and brown in a constant state of fear and pain.
