School children chant ’16 shots and a cover-up’ at Rahm Emanuel
School children in Chicago on Tuesday yelled protest chants at Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) referencing the 2014 shooting of an African-American teenager.
Footage uploaded to Twitter shows the students chanting “16 shots and a cover up,” a reference to the 16 shots fired in the 2014 deadly police shooting of African-American teenager Laquan McDonald.

Chicago Police Officer Jason van Dyke was indicted on six counts for first-degree murder counts for the shooting of McDonald.
Emanuel came under scrutiny in November of 2015 after released footage showed a different account of the shooting than the one provided by police officers.
