Attorney worried about safety of Chicago officer if LaQuan McDonald shooting video released...

The attorney for a Chicago police officer who fatally shot a black teenager says he's concerned for the safety of the officer if the dash camera video of the incident is released.

Dan Herbert says in this "day and age" there's the possibility that someone could try to harm Officer Jason Van Dyke because they don't understand the context in which the shooting occurred. Herbert is bracing for a judge to order the video's release because the lawyer does not see any legal basis to suppress it.

The judge is expected to announce Thursday whether he will grant a Freedom of Information request and allow the video of the October 2014 shooting death of LaQuan McDonald by Van Dyke to be made public.

The video is said to show the officer shooting the teen 16 times.
