Things are getting heated in Chicago after graphic footage was released in the death of Laquan McDonald.

The 17-year old was shot 16 times by police officer Jason Van Dyke, who yesterday was charged with murder.

Last night, Vic Mensa was among those protesting McDonald's death. As you can see in the video below, he was with a group that was involved in a scuffle with the police.

We out in downtown Chicago right now. I just got hands put on me by police. We want justice for Laquan and we want justice for our people," Mensa said in another video.
