It took a Cook County jury less than eight hours to affirm a conclusion most of Chicago reached nearly three years ago: Police Officer Jason Van Dyke did not need to kill Laquan McDonald.

In the hierarchy of progressive values, due process is a bottom dweller.
As a lifelong Texan, I've always been proud that we're known as a state full of generous, bighearted people who generally come to each others' aid and defense regardless of political or ideological differences.
