Killed On Camera

"Officer Alvin Weems shot an unarmed man point-blank in view of CTA [Chicago Transit Authority] security cameras. Investigators recommended that he be fired. [Chicago Police Superintendent] Phil Cline promoted him." The victim was Michael Pleasance, whose name I mention because there has been no national moral outrage on his behalf, no candlelight vigils, no major protests to bring his politically privileged murderer to justice.
