Hillary Clinton calls for federal inquiry of Chicago police tactics

The Chicago Tribune reports:

Hillary Clinton is calling for an independent federal inquiry into the Chicago Police Department's tactics following the shooting death of African-American teenager Laquan McDonald by a white police officer, her campaign told the Tribune on Wednesday.

Clinton's stance puts her at odds with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who on Wednesday said he is against a full-blown federal probe.

Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, is "deeply troubled" by the shooting last year of McDonald and the "outstanding questions" it raises, her spokesman Brian Fallon said.

Emanuel has called for a task force to review the Police Department's practices, which is "an important step," Fallon said. "But given the gravity of this tragic situation, she supports a full review by the Department of Justice," he said of Clinton.
