More than 100 protesters took to the streets of Chicago on Tuesday, after the release of a video that shows a white police officer shooting a black teenager 16 times, ushering in the first of many expected demonstrations across the city.<\/p>\n

The protest started at the intersection of Roosevelt Road and Halsted Street less than two hours after Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Police Superintendent Gary McCarthy announced the release of a police dash-cam video of officer Jason Van Dyke unloading 16 shots into 17-year-old Laquan McDonald.<\/p>\n

A Cook County judge ordered the video\u2019s release last week, giving city officials until Wednesday to make it available to the public, after a Chicago-based freelance journalist filed a lawsuit to obtain the video.<\/p>\n

Earlier Tuesday, Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder, and a judge ordered that he be held without bail until the following Monday at the earliest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe officer in this case took a young man\u2019s life, and he\u2019s going to have to account for his actions, and that\u2019s what today is all about,\u201d McCarthy said, also urging potential protesters to keep demonstrations peaceful.<\/p>\n

Several people were arrested after Tuesday night\u2019s protests, however. The demonstration reached a critical stage at the intersection of Roosevelt and State, where marchers stopped and formed a circle. They held hands and chanted various phrases, including, \u201cThe police are a gang!;\u201d \u201cyou don\u2019t need no pension when y\u2019all get paid for lynchin\u2019;\u201d and \u201cthey think this is a joke, they think this is a game.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Protest Route<\/h1>\n

Three Chicago-based groups\u2013Black Youth Project 100, Assata\u2019s Daughters and We Charge Genocide\u2013organized the Tuesday evening protest protest with the help of other grassroots organizations, first announcing it through a Facebook event after the press conference held by McCarthy and Emanuel.<\/p>\n

Although most black protesters declined to talk to media, some people who joined the protests later expressed their support for the sentiment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hoping to gain more exposure to the problems that are happening on the South and West sides. It\u2019s like things like this happen on a day to day basis.\u201d said Delroy Taylor, a black Chicago resident and a participant in the protest. \u201cThe accumulation of things that are happening is leading to this today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The demonstrators attempted to enter Grant Park, with some confronting law enforcement. Police blocked protesters from entering the park by creating a barricade of bicycles and arrested a handful of protesters, stating that a few became aggressive and grabbed at the officers\u2019 bikes.<\/p>\n

In the midst of arrests, people yelled, \u201cThey took three!\u201d Police arrested Troy Alim, 24; Johnae Strong, 25; and\u00a0 Page May, 26, during the protest and later released them.<\/p>\n

Malcolm London, 22, a protester and local activist, was arrested later in the night and charged with aggravated battery to a police officer. The charges were dropped Wednesday, after members of the Chicago City Council Black Caucus called for London’s release, saying the accusations were exaggerated and that he had acted within the law.<\/p>\n

Several reportedly injured protesters claimed that officers had pushed them. Many left the frontlines of the protest crying, leaning on others and refusing to speak to media or police.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe racial climate between minorities and cops is very bad,\u201d said Steven Phillips, a black Chicago resident who observed the protest from outside the circle. \u201cBut I don\u2019t want to see the city go up in flames like a Baltimore or like a Ferguson.\u201d<\/p>\n
