A small, angry group outside a Cook County courthouse has confronted the white Chicago police officer who shot a black teenager 16 times.
Several people shouted profanities and pounded on the black pickup truck before it pulled away with officer Jason Van Dyke inside.
Van Dyke appeared in court Friday for the first time since a grand jury indicted him on Wednesday. He faces six counts of first-degree murder and one of official misconduct in the 2014 shooting death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald.
Video of the shooting has triggered protests, forced the resignation of the city's police chief and put the entire Police Department under a wide-ranging civil rights investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.
An attorney for Van Dyke says he is considering asking for a change of venue after comments Mayor Rahm Emanuel made about his client.
In a news conference last month, Emanuel said it was clear "Van Dyke violated both the standards of professionalism that come with being a police officer but also basic moral standards that bind our community together."
