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 MORE7 of Chase Infiniti’s favourite K-pop tracksMeet The Deep, K-pop’s antihero ‘This is our Nirvana!’: Are Geese Gen Z’s first great rock band?10 of Yung Lean’s best collabs‘We’re like brother and sister’: Yung Lean and Charli xcx in conversationIs art finally getting challenging again?The only tracks you need to hear from November 2025Inside the world of Amore, Spain’s latest rising starLella Fadda is blazing a trail in the Egyptian music sceneThe rise of Sweden’s post-pop undergroundNeda is the singer-songwriter blending Farsi classics with Lily Allen 6 Flog Gnaw artists on what’s inspiring them right now
