CHICAGO (WBBM Newsradio) -- A day after officials released police video of a boy’s death, Gov. JB Pritzker on Friday said the entire system failed 13-year-old Adam Toledo.
Authorities must move quickly, he said, to investigate and adjudicate what happened in Little Village whenToledo was shot by a Chicago police officer — images now seared on people’s minds.
“The video of Adam’s death is devastating, just devastating. It is unbearable to think of his family seeing these last moments of his life,” the governor said.
He asked people to pray for Adam Toledo and his family.
Pritzker commented on the case — which is being investigated by Chicago’s Civilian Office of Police Accountability — after a news conference announcing $1.6 billion in federal funds for Illinois that will pay for early childhood eduction and child care.
