via TwitterMusicNewsFootage shows rapper Vic Mensa clashing with Chicago policeThe musician joins demonstrators in protest at the shooting of Laquan McDonaldShareLink copied ✔️November 25, 2015MusicNewsTextDaisy Jones Yesterday, a graphic video was released showing dashcam footage of yet another white policeman fatally shooting a black teenager. The teenager in question was 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, and he was shot 16 times on October 20, 2014 (Jason Van Dyke, the officer responsible, was charged with first-degree murder yesterday). In response to the shooting, protesters took to the streets of Chicago last night to show that this kind of violence should never be tolerated. Joining the protest, which was reported to be mostly peaceful, was Chicago rapper Vic Mensa. In a video shared on Twitter (below) by performance poet Malcolm London, Mensa addresses the camera: “I just got hands put on me by police. We want justice for Laquan and we want justice for our people.” In a second piece of video footage, which was captured by CBS News, Mensa can be seen clashing with police along with other protesters. He later tweeted about the incident, saying: “Hands put on me by police was inaccurate. Fighting police.” Watch both videos below: h/t: FACT my brother @VicMensa out here for #LaquanMcDonald#stopthecops#16at17pic.twitter.com/K5qYow1AS5— BLACK POWER ranger (@MalcolmLondon) November 25, 2015Expand your creative community and connect with 15,000 creatives from around the world.READ MOREBloodz Boi: The humble godfather of Chinese underground rapA rare interview with POiSON GiRL FRiEND, dream pop’s future seerNigeria’s Blaqbonez is rapping to ‘beat his high score’Inside Erika de Casier’s shimmering R&B universe ‘Rap saved my life’: A hazy conversation with MIKE and Earl Sweatshirt7 essential albums by the SoulquariansIs AI really the future of music?The KPop Demon Hunters directors on fan theories and a potential sequelplaybody: The club night bringing connection back to the dancefloorAn interview with IC3PEAK, the band Putin couldn’t silenceFrost Children answer the dA-Zed quizThe 5 best features from PinkPantheress’ new remix album
