The Chicago police union defended the officer who shot and killed a 13-year-old boy late last month after the city released body cam footage of the incident.
Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara said Officer Eric Stillman, 34, was “100% right” when he fired a single shot at Adam Toledo, 13, on March 29, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
After a short on-foot pursuit down an alley, Toledo appeared to toss a firearm immediately before turning toward Stillman with both his hands in the air, according to body cam footage released by the Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) Thursday.
“The offender still turned with a gun in his hand,” Catanzara told the Sun-Times. “This occurred in eight-tenths of a second.”

Prominent lawmakers have spent tens of thousands of dollars in private security following the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, according to first-quarter Federal Election Commission reports obtained by Punchbowl News.
Security expenditures were especially common among high-profile Democrats and Republicans who voted to impeach or convict former President Donald Trump for his role in inciting the riot.
Republican Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and John Katko of New York paid $50,400 and $19,874 in private security, according to Punchbowl. Ohio Republican Rep. Anthony Gonzalez paid $1,540, according to the report.
All three voted to impeach Trump after the riot, and have all drawn GOP primary challengers as a result. Trump has vowed to campaign against Cheney ahead of 2022, and said Wednesday that he would endorse a challenger “soon.”

Another group of men have been indicted on charges of animal cruelty after conducting a “ritual sacrifice” at a white supremacist training camp in Georgia, ABC News reported.
The five men, Patrick Mathews, William Garfield Bilbrough IV, Brian Mark Lemley Jr., Brandon Gregory Ashley and Duncan Christopher Trimmell, were all charged with aggravated animal cruelty, ABC News reported. Trimmell was also charged with livestock theft by Floyd County prosecutors.
The five men join three others from North Georgia who had already been charged in 2019 with the sacrifice, the Rome News-Tribune reported. The link between the men was found after a picture of the ram’s severed head was shown on Bilbrough’s phone by a Maryland prosecutor.
