STORYLINE
The white police officer who shot a black Chicago teen 16 times has been charged with murder and jailed.
The graphic video of the slaying has been made public and in the hours after the footage was released, protesters seemed to honour pleas for restraint.
City officials and community leaders had long been braced for the release of the dash-cam video showing the death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald.
They feared the kind of turmoil that occurred in cities such as Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri, after young black men were slain by police, or died in police custody.
There has been a simmering resentment that authorities took more than a year to share the footage and charge the officer who emptied an entire magazine into the teen, even after he had crumpled to the ground.
A judge ordered that the recording be made public by Wednesday. Moments before it was released, the mayor and the police chief urged protesters to stay calm.
Shortly after the video's release, protesters began marching through city streets. Several hundred people blocked traffic and chanted "16 shots."
Demonstrators, at times numbering in the hundreds, streamed through streets, gathering at one point outside the police department's District 1 headquarters.
The biggest group had mostly dissipated by 11 pm local time (0500 GMT.)
Protest groups are expected to stage more demonstrations in the days ahead.
