The FBI warned the Chicago Police Department that officers' lives could be in danger with the release of the Laquan McDonald video, according to documents released late Monday night by the city.

In a Nov. 24 email sent just hours before the city made public the video of a white police officer shooting and killing the black 17-year-old, an FBI agent said that a confidential informant — who had provided reliable information in the past — reported plans to ambush officers in retaliation for the teen's death.

"Violent rhetoric is high," the FBI wrote. "Due to the recent media spotlight on officer-involved deaths of minorities, there is a lot of anger in the neighborhood served by the Chicago Police Department."

While no known attacks took place following the video's release, the informant said gang members planned to set up outside the 14th District headquarters on the West Side and the Homan Square building, a police facility that has served as the setting for numerous police misconduct allegations in recent years. The informant said gang members intended to wait for police employees to exit and walk toward their cars — a time when the officers wouldn't be wearing protective gear or bulletproof vests.

"In addition to being unarmed and unprotected, these employees will likely be in either small groups or by themselves, which would make them targets of opportunity," the FBI said. "(Confidential human source) states that shooters may lie-in-wait, and then conduct an ambush."

While the potential for violence against Chicago police was previously known, the role of the FBI informant was new.

FBI spokesman Garrett Croon on Tuesday said the bureau notified city police about the source's information. He declined to comment further and referred questions to the Police Department, which did not have an immediate response.

The FBI warning was included in more than 20,000 pages of emails released by Mayor Rahm Emanuel's administration at 11:57 p.m. Monday. Faced with a court order to turn over all emails sent or received by former police Superintendent Garry McCarthy in December, the city also released McCarthy's emails from November.
