the video and the protests are now getting lots of media coverage, but the big question here is, has the main seem media asked the important questions and continued to cover these in the way they should? joining us now, cal thomas, syndicated columnist and a fox news contributor, lynn sweet, washington bureau chief for the chicago sun-times. cal, first to you. is the mainstream media in one way or another intimidated by these protest ors and that s why they re not thing tough questions about why aren t you protesting of the other black all of the other black murders that happened inside chicago? that s part of it, but kudos to a citizen journalist on this named jamie calvin who heard about this video, and it was leaked to him, and he put it out there for all to see now before be the major media did. look, this is a horrible tragedy. anytime a 17-year-old young person is shot and killed in the streets of any city, it s awful. and if this video, in fact,
to, quote, destroy the army of fanatics responsible. this amid reports of an arrest in germany and word investigators may have tracked down where some terrorists have been getting weapons used in other attacks in france this year. greg talcott is live in paris as there are some suspects still on the run. hi, greg. reporter: hi, leland, that s right. an interesting new possible lead in the paris terror probe. reportedly, it turneddous, that the turns out, that the paris attackers got at least some of their weaponry online. a man has been arrested in germany for illegally selling weapons over the internet. the leading german newspaper says he sold two ak-47 and two ak-47 style automatic rifles to the isis-backed gang. while german authorities are not yet admitting to a paris link, signs in the report seem to indicate that this could be an accurate trail. as for the hunt for the two remaining key suspects in the paris attacks, no news is bad news for the authorities. the so-
contradicted by a witness who told abc 7 chicago mcdonald was not a threat to police. he was super excited, you don t need that many cops to be doing that, they didn t need to shoot him. they didn t. they basically had him face to face, no purpose why they had to shot shoot him. but abc 7 chicago also had this account, again, from pat camden. officers are responding to somebody with a knife in a crazed condition who stabs out tires on a vehicle and tires on a squad car, you obviously respect going to sit down and have a cup of coffee with him. he is a very serious threat to the officers and he leaves them no choice at that point but to defend themselves. now, that might have been the end of the story. police union spokesman says it was self-defense, clear cut, and then an unnamed whistleblower approached independent journalist jamie calvin and attorney craig filterman, who was on our show last night. the whistleblower told them there was a video and it was
evidence does not support it from the very get-go, there seems to be an effort to defend the officers before the facts are known. in this particular case, where you have a videotape, there is not a whole a lot of investigation that needs to be done. the entire shooting is on videotape. in 15 second, he fired 16 shots, many ofby were fired while the young man was on the ground. this man should have been charged within a matter of days, weeks, at most, months. and absolutely under no circumstances should it have taken 400 days. and i think the final question. let me just say that pat camden is a union official, no the a city official, but final question is, are you confident that had a whistleblower not come forward to jamie calvin and craig putterman, had the foi not been filed to get the autopsy, that if the process had been lefts to the own devices that we would be here with this charge? i m absolutely not confident of that and that s one of the growing concerns and why i would
horrific, according to calvin, speaking to chicago reporter.com. after a request calvin obtained a copy of the autopsy and the autopsy report very vealed that 16 shots were fired at laquan hitting him in his chest, neck, head, back, right leg and both arms. now, that crucially differs from the initial reports that said simply, mcdonald was shot in the chest. initial reports also said the boy allegedly lunged at police. today, after the dash cam video clearly showed laquan did not run only at officers, pat camden, that spokesperson, distanced himself from those comments attributed to him, telling the washington post, i never talked to the officer, period. i have no idea where it came from. it was being told to me after it was to somebody else who was told by another person. this was two hours after the incident. it s hearsay is basically what i m putting out at that point. it s information that has been given to me by a third party that gathered that information from other parties.
