- In the United States, another police shooting creates anger. Yesterday, the Chicago authorities released a video showing a 13-year-old boy being shot dead by police. The New York Times reports that it looks like the boy is dropping a gun on a fence and showing his hands just before he is shot, all in a matter of seconds.
- A lawyer representing the policeman says the incident is tragic but that the shooting was justified. While the boy’s family believes that the 13-year-old was shot despite doing as the police said and showing his hands.
- Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot says the shooting death of Duante Wright in Minnesota on Sunday and the trial of Derek Chauvin on suspicion of George Floyd’s death amplify the anger and grief many in Chicago now feel. But she called for calm while waiting for an investigation into the incident.
