Protesters call for police board to fire cop acquitted in fatal shooting

Community activists and demonstrators shut down a Chicago Police Board meeting Thursday night [August 20, 2015] as they angrily demanded the firing of Detective Dante Servin, an officer acquitted in the fatal shooting of Rekia Boyd in 2012.

About 200 people packed the meeting at Chicago Police headquarters in the Bronzeville neighborhood, many wearing yellow shirts with black print reading: "Fire Police Officer Dante Servin." The crowd included demonstrators from the Black Lives Matter, Black Youth Project 100 and We Charge Genocide groups.
