Video of a Chicago Police officer firing 16 shots at 17-year-old Laquan McDonald touched off demonstrations across the city but the images were not enough for a Cook County judge to order the officer held without bail pending trial. 
 
 Officer Jason Van Dyke had been in custody since turning himself in last Tuesday to face first-degree murder charges. Judge Donald Panarese Jr. said he would not set bail for the veteran officer until he had watched squad car video that prosecutors said showed Van Dyke firing 16 shots at the teen, most of them as McDonald lay slumped on the ground. 
 
 Panarese sat silently at the front of the packed courtroom Monday, leaning his head on his fist as he watched a few minutes of silent, grainy dashcam video playing on a laptop computer. 
 
 Panarese was apparently watching the video for the first time, and he asked Assistant State’s Attorney William Delaney if there was any sound on the recording. 
 
 “There’s no audio, judge,” Delaney said. 
 
 “The law gives a presumption of innocence,” Panarese said after setting Van Dyke’s bail at $1.5 million. 
 
 Four hours later, the officer walked out of Cook County Jail and past a throng of reporters and protesters after posting $150,000 bond, the 10 percent of the bail amount required to secure his release. 
 
 Van Dyke is scheduled to be back in court on Dec. 18. 
 
 Van Dyke was led into the courtroom in wrist and ankle chains and surrounded by correctional officers. A handful of protesters seated in the glass-walled courtroom gallery rose to their feet as the officer stood before the judge. The group, apparently mishearing Panarese and thinking the judge had denied bail, cheered before being ordered by sheriff’s deputies to clear the room. 
 
 “There’s good cops out there, but these crooked ones, they got to get locked up,” one woman shouted during a break as prosecutors cued up the video on Panarese’s laptop. 
 
 Late Monday, the mayor’s office announced plans to create a “Task Force on Police Accountability.” 
 
 “The task force will review the system of accountability, oversight and training that is currently in place for Chicago’s police officers,” according to a statement from the mayor’s office. 
 
 The mayor’s panel — “actively engaging a range of community members” — is expected to present recommendations to the mayor and the City Council by March 31, 2016. More details were expected Tuesday. 
 
 The dashcam video of the shooting on Oct. 20, 2014, was made public last week just a few hours after the officer was charged. In the days since, hundreds of demonstrators have rallied to mostly peaceful protests across the city, including demonstrations that blocked shoppers from stores on Michigan Avenue as holiday shopping season kicked off Friday. 
 
 Ten people were arrested Monday at what police called a “small gathering” outside City Hall that took place around the time of Van Dyke’s hearing at the Leighton Criminal Court building. 
 
 On Monday evening, about 150 people gathered for a largely peaceful demonstration outside Chicago Police headquarters at 35th and Michigan. 
 
 Activists, pastors from across the city and other city residents 
 
 called for Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy to resign, among other things. They voiced the now familiar chant: “Sixteen shots!” and held up signs, one of which read, “Prosecute all criminal cops.” 
 
 At one point, activist Jedidiah Brown, holding a heavy chain, made his way to the front doors of the building. He said he wanted to chain the doors shut. 
 
 “That building is full of filth and corruption, and we want the 
 
 building shut down,” Brown said. 
 
 Police pulled Brown aside and persuaded him to back down. 
 
 In the background, a woman who identified herself as Sister Shannon shouted repeatedly, “Forgive them, Lord, for they know not what they do!” 
 
 Van Dyke had been on desk duty until the charges were announced last week and has since been placed on “no-pay status” by the police department. 
 
 Fraternal Order of Police President Dean Angelo Sr., who attended the hearing Monday, said the union does not post bond for officers facing charges but had encouraged members to donate money toward Van Dyke’s bond. 
 
 Angelo, whose union represents more than 8,000 Chicago Police officers, said he had watched the dashcam video and that McDonald “squared his shoulders” toward the officers before Van Dyke opened fire. 
 
 Prosecutors have said McDonald was walking away from police on Pulaski Road near 41st Street and was 10 feet away from Van Dyke when the officer fired the first of 16 shots from his 9mm pistol. Van Dyke emptied his magazine in about 15 seconds, with most of the shots fired after McDonald had fallen to the pavement. 
 
 Police had been following McDonald for several blocks after receiving a report that the teen was breaking into trucks parked on a lot at 41st Street and Kildare Avenue. 
 
 The teen had PCP in his system, and officers said he had a “glazed look” as he jogged away from officers and ignored their commands. McDonald was holding a knife and had slashed the tire of a squad car that had tried to hem him in near the intersection of 41st Street and Pulaski Road. 
 
 Van Dyke was only at the scene for 30 seconds, and he was outside his vehicle for about 6 seconds when he started shooting, prosecutors said. None of the other officers at the scene fired a shot. 
 
 Police officials said at the time of the shooting that McDonald had been moving toward the officers when he was shot, a claim that appears not to jibe with video. 
 
 Angelo said Monday it appeared McDonald “squared his shoulders” toward the officers when Van Dyke started shooting. 
 
 “I think Officer Van Dyke stepped into training mode and takes action that he believed at that time was justified,” Angelo said. 
 
 “We don’t get an Officer Van Dyke view of that incident. There is a moment when the individual with the knife squares his shoulder at the officer and I believe, without the sound, that is the moment when the shooting starts,” he said. 
 
 Outside the courtroom, Van Dyke’s attorney, Daniel Herbert, told reporters the video appeared damning, but he said the dashboard camera did not capture the entire event. 
 
 “When you see the video alone it does not seem like a justifiable shooting,” he said. But he added that “we’re not going to try this case in the media. . . . There’s certain things that I know that, quite frankly, no one else knows.”

 The white Chicago police officer charged with murder after a squad car video caught him shooting a black teenager 16 times has posted bond. 
 
 Local media outlets showed Officer Jason Van Dyke leaving Cook County Jail on Monday evening. 
 
 His bond had been set at $1.5 million, meaning he needed to post $150,000 to get out. 
 
 Van Dyke has been locked up since Nov. 24, when prosecutors charged him with first-degree murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. 
 
 Authorities also released the dashcam video Nov. 24. It shows McDonald — armed with a small knife and walking down a street on the city's southwest side — being shot repeatedly by the 37-year-old Van Dyke. A judge had ordered the video released the previous week.

 University of Chicago officials say classes will resume Tuesday, one day after a 21-year-old black student was arrested and charged for allegedly threatening to kill 16 white males on campus. 
 
 University President Robert Zimmer wrote in an email Monday that in light of the arrest, classes and activities would resume Tuesday. 
 
 The campus was almost desolate aside from police and campus security on Monday after university officials canceled classes due to an FBI tip of a threat of gun violence. 
 
 Zimmer called Monday a "challenging day." He says the university will keep additional security presence in place through the quarter, which ends Dec. 12. 
 
 Jabari R. Dean of Chicago, who's accused of making the threat, had his initial court appearance Monday. He's a University of Illinois at Chicago student.

 A 21-year-old black man has made an initial appearance in federal court on allegations that he threatened to kill 16 white male students or staff at the University of Chicago in response to the killing of a black teenager by a white city police officer. 
 
 Prosecutors indicated at Monday's hearing that they'll agree to Jabari R. Dean being released before trial. The judge ordered Dean be held at least until a Tuesday bond hearing. 
 
 A University of Illinois at Chicago spokeswoman confirmed that Dean is a freshman majoring in electrical engineering. 
 
 A visibly ill-at-ease Jabari wore a red sweatshirt emblazoned with the words "The University of Illinois at Chicago." 
 
 A prosecutor said Jabari cooperated after federal agents confronted him and that he didn't appear to pose a threat. 
 
 Dean didn't enter a plea and his lawyer declined comment afterward.

 The lawyer for a white Chicago police officer charged with fatally shooting a black teenager says he's hopeful the officer can post bond in the "very near future." 
 
 A judge on Monday set bond at $1.5 million for Jason Van Dyke. He was charged with first-degree murder last week for the shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times in October 2014. Van Dyke was charged the same day authorities released video of the shooting. 
 
 Lawyer Dan Herbert says Van Dyke is pleased the judge set a bond amount after ordering him held without bond last week. 
 
 Herbert says Van Dyke is "very scared about the consequences he is facing." He also says Van Dyke "absolutely" can defend his actions in court. Herbert says he has information that isn't yet public.

 A Cook County judge has set bond at $1.5 million for a white Chicago police officer charged with murder after a squad car video caught him shooting a black teenager 16 times. 
 
 A judge set the bond Monday afternoon for Officer Jason Van Dyke. 
 
 Van Dyke has been locked up since Nov. 24, when prosecutors charged him with first-degree murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. 
 
 The same day, authorities released the dashcam video that shows McDonald — armed with a small knife and walking down a street on the city's southwest side — being shot repeatedly by the 37-year-old Van Dyke. A judge had ordered the video released the previous week. 
 
 The bond amount means Van Dyke will need $150,000 to be released. Van Dyke's attorney has said the officer isn't a flight risk.
– The Chicago police officer charged with killing 17-year-old Laquan McDonald has paid his $150,000 bond and walked out of jail, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. A judge set bail for officer Jason Van Dyke at $1.5 million earlier in the day. Meanwhile, authorities have released the dashcam video that shows Van Dyke repeatedly shooting McDonald on Nov. 24 on the southwest side of Chicago, the AP reports. And in related news, the University of Chicago will re-open tomorrow after police arrested 21-year-old Jabari Dean with allegedly threatening to murder 16 white male staff or students at the school. The school had shut down after an online threat was posted Sunday night. (A Burger King manager says 86 minutes of the "Laquan video" have gone missing.)
