New Chicago Police Shooting Video May Be Released
MICHAELA PEREIRA, CNN ANCHOR: Embattled Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is set to deliver a highly anticipated speech about police misconduct to members of his city council this morning. This comes as the city braces for the possible release of yet another video of a controversial police shooting pending a judge's order. CNN's Rosa Flores has more.</s>ROSA FLORES, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): First there was the shocking video of Laquan McDonald and then Ronald Johnson. Both shot and killed by Chicago police, cases that have caused outrage. But there's a third police shooting and video that few have seen. We've talked to two men who have seen it and they say it shows in detail the killing of black teen Cedrick Chatman by a Chicago police officer in 2013.</s>BRIAN COFFMAN, CHATMAN'S ATTORNEY: He is running as fast as he possibly can away from the police when he is shot.</s>FLORES: Brian Coffman represents Chatman's family and has been fighting for the release of the video.</s>COFFMAN: Approximately three to four seconds lapses and the first bullet is fired. And he is dead within eight seconds of getting out of his car and running.</s>LORENZO DAVIS, FIRED BY IPRA: We saw the commotion when I heard gunshots.</s>FLORES: Lorenzo Davis analyzed the video second by second and says this case cost him his job.</s>DAVIS: We felt like it was unjustified shooting.</s>FLORES: Davis led the review for the city agency that investigates all officer-involved shootings, called the Independent Police Review Authority, or IPRA, a former police officer himself, he describes what's on the video.</s>DAVIS: They pulled up alongside of that car.</s>FLORES: Chatman was running away from the stolen car he was driving when a police officer opened fire.</s>DAVIS: Chatman was running along here, and when he got to roughly this location, I would say, there was a gunshot.</s>FLORES: Chatman was carrying a black iPhone box in his hand. The shooting officer would later say he thought it was gun.</s>DAVIS: He did not shout a warning. He did not use his radio to give direction of flight. He simply pointed his gun until he had a clear shot.</s>FLORES (on camera): Lorenzo Davis says when he deemed the shooting unjustified, his boss said IPRA asked him to change it to justified. When he refused, he says he was fired. (voice-over): IPRA assigned another investigator and called part of Davis' report glaringly biased, saying there was a significant discrepancy between Davis' findings and what the facts of the case actually show. The officer who shot Chatman was exonerated.</s>DAVIS: They don't want to say that the shooting was wrong.</s>FLORES (on camera): Why is that?</s>DAVIS: Because then it makes it look like some police officers are killers. Right, and they don't want it to look that way.</s>FLORES (voice-over): Rosa Flores, CNN, Chicago.</s>CHRIS CUOMO, CNN ANCHOR: Familiar questions and a familiar search for answers there. We'll stay on that story. So, San Bernardino, why weren't the terrorists there on the radar for law enforcement despite planning an attack three years ago, all these communications, it seems to get broader and broader who they were working with. We have new reporting about all those different aspects and we ask who should have known, next.
