芝加哥市長伊曼紐因兩起白人警察槍殺非裔案而面臨
下臺壓力
【博聞社】芝加哥市長伊曼紐(Rahm Emanuel)宣布將於明年調整警政政策,擬自2016年1月1日始,警察接受民眾報案前往現場時,警車內至少須備一電擊槍,警員亦需加強電擊槍訓練,避免不必要傷亡。伊曼紐強調:「武力為最後選項,非第一考量」。芝加哥電擊槍使用數量,將增至1400支。

芝加哥白人警察去年槍殺17歲非裔青年麥克唐納(Laquan McDonald)引發眾怒,原警長遭解職、市長也伊曼紐亦面臨下台壓力。不料26日另一警察查案時,槍殺1名非裔大學生萊格里爾(Quintonio LeGrier)及1位非裔母親瓊斯(Bettie Jones),伊曼紐不得不結束假期,緊急返國處理。
