This is Aljazeera America live from new york city. Im stephanie sy. A Chicago Police officer will face a judge in half an hour in connection with the shooting death of Laquan Mcdonald. Former officer Jason Van Dyke is being arraigned on six counts of first degree murder. Dash cam video showed him shoulding mcdonald 16 times as he veered away from officers. Police say mcdonald was armed with a knife when he was shot. We have more from chicago. Van dyke is expected to plead not guilty here. His attorney has long said that what you see on the dash cam video, the shooting of Laquan Mcdonald in 2014 was not what van dyke was seeing at the time, however, what you see on the tape seems to contradict what van dyke said at the time, that Laquan Mcdonald was lunging at him and that van dyke was actually back pedaling at the time. The attorney of van dyke says he will likely ask for a change of venue in this case. He said there is no way that van dyke can get a fair trial given all thats gone on

A candidate can win all of the electoral votes in a state without winning a majority of the popular votes in the state. In 1992 bill clinton got 43 of the popular vote nationally, but won 370 electoral votes, a hundred more than he needed to beat george h. W. Bush and ross perot. Assuming people dont want another candidate dont decide on trump and clinton by election day, and trump and clinton act like theyll be facing off in november. Trump escalating attack on clinton at the rally in. New
