How far have we REALLY come? What is the value of a black life in America in 2022?? #TeamDL #Repost thegrio with make_repost

In 🤬 news, the former #Chicago police officer who fatally shot 17-year-old #LaquanMcDonald in 2014 is getting out of prison early next month. 

According to the chicagosuntimes, #JasonVanDyke is scheduled to be released on Feb. 3,  though #Illinois Prison Review Board records obtained by WGN said Van Dyke’s release date has been set for Feb. 8.

It is unclear exactly why the former cop is is being granted early release, and the review board did not immediately respond Friday night to a request for comment from theGrio.

43-year-old Van Dyke has served more than three years behind bars after receiving a more than six-year prison sentence in 2019 when he was convicted of second-degree murder in the October 2018 shooting of McDonald, after shooting the teen 16 times. 

Seems like justice and possible accountability is only temporary in this country 😒
