Body-cam proves officer Jason Van Dyke is a murderer:

Police training teaches cops to meet knife wielding suspects with deadly force. 16 shots was unquestionably excessive, but you can bet if Van Dyke hadn’t shot McDonald, one of his fellow officers would have before long if he didn’t drop the knife.

I think the 16 shots is the most damning part. If Van Dyke only shot him twice, would he still be a murderer?
