Hundreds of protesters marched against police killings of black men along Chicago's Michigan Avenue, calling for Mayor Rahm Emanuel to step down . The march, which began at midday, was peaceful and police blocked traffic for the demonstration as protesters stopped and lay down in the street every block or so. Shoppers and passers-by took the protest in stride, and stopped to take photos. Demonstrators chanted "Sixteen shots and a cover-up," protesting the year-long delay in bringing murder charges against police officer Jason Van Dyke, who shot and killed Laquan McDonald in October 2014 as the black teenager walked away from police, according to footage of the incident. Protester Brother Hall, of the Chicago neighborhood of Bronzeville said, "Rahm is arrogant enough to not resign. So we're going to continue to put pressure on the business community and allow them to force him to resign.” http://bit.ly/1U7sOkn http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
