CHICAGO – A black teenager shot 16 times by a white
Chicago police officer was a ward of the state when he died,
having spent years being shuttled between different
relatives' homes and foster care from the time he was 3.
Laquan McDonald, whose name demonstrators have shouted
for two days and will shout again during a planned rally to
disrupt the city's famed Magnificent Mile shopping corridor
Friday, lived a troubled, disadvantaged life and had at least
one previous brush with the law.
