Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders condemned the killing of black Chicago resident Laquan McDonlad, who was shot 16 times by a white police officer.
"The family of Laquan McDonald and the people of Chicago deserve justice and accountability," Clinton said in a statement. "As criminal charges proceed in this case, we also have to grapple as a country with broader questions about ensuring that all our citizens and communities are protected and respected."
