Cook County Judge Donald Panarese, Jr. ordered the release of Chicago officer Lowell Houser after the cop was charged with murder in an off-duty fatal shooting. The move comes at the same time that prosecutors alleged that the officer brandished a gun and threatened the victim weeks before the deadly incident.

Newly released videos and 911 calls reveal the panic and chaos that erupted during a public altercation that led to a Chicago police officer fatally shooting Joshua Beal in November 2016.

Blue Lives Matter protesters clashed with Black Lives Matter activists near the scene of the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Joshua Beal.

Data analysis found the vast majority of those shot by Chicago police are Black males. In most cases, the officers claimed they feared for their lives.
