On Media Outlook News:  DOWNTOWN — In a strike against the Chicago Police Department's "code of silence," a grand jury has indicted three Chicago police officers on charges of conspiracy, obstruction and misconduct in the October 2014  slaying of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald , who was shot 16 times by Officer Jason Van Dyke. The special prosecutor assigned to the explosive case — a separate probe from Van Dyke's murder trial — announced the indictment Tuesday, saying the three officers on the scene with Van Dyke lied, failed to interview witnesses and misled other investigators to hide what happened that night. "It is unacceptable to obey an unofficial code of silence," special prosecutor Patricia Brown Holmes said at a Downtown news conference at 69 W. Washington St. Detective David March and patrol officers Joseph Walsh and Thomas Gaffney each face felonies for their alleged role in a cover-up surrounding the controversial case.

On Media Outlook News: L ala Anthony says that she and NBA star husband Carmelo Anthony are still “the best of friends” and that she’s not rushing to officially file for divorce just yet. The comments came during the  Power  star’s appearance Tuesday on  The Wendy Williams Show , where she opened up about her split and subsequent interactions with the Knicks small forward. “Are you divorcing Melo?” Williams asked the star. “Not right now.

On Media Outlook News: R ich Homie Quan, born Dequantes Lamar, could’ve fallen much harder. It’s nothing he doesn’t know. He could’ve been flat on his face after the lengthy litigation with his former label TIG Records or after publicly disbanding from Rich Gang in 2014. His last big record was   “Flex (Ooh, Ooh)”   in early 2015. It’s been quiet for him since. Almost. Last year, the 27-year-old rap star got on stage at the VH1 Hip Hop Honors event and — well, to call his Biggie tribute a mere flub, would be a minimization of epic proportions. It was especially hurtful because the Atlanta-bred artist was given the platform to stabilize the ongoing push and pull, the debates rooted in thinly veiled malice, comparing the significance of today’s rappers to that of MCs of yore. Quan was given this platform and he blew it, unequivocally. So with all things considered, he’s well aware that things could’ve gone the other way. His career could’ve stalled out but for a few b...
