Officer Kevin Graham conducted his first press conference since being sworn in as president of Chicago's largest police union this morning. Officer Graham faces looming contract negotiations that will include a political spotlight on police brutality. The controversy surrounds the shooting Laquan McDonald, who was shot by a white police officer in November 2015. Protestors have called on the Major of Chicago to reject provisions in the police union's contract that grant officers protection from disciplinary investigations.
