Cook County jail officials are looking to reprimand several detainees who were captured on surveillance video Thursday applauding Shomari Legghette after his initial court appearance on charges of murdering Chicago Police Cmdr. Paul Bauer.

The video shows 27 detainees milling about a holding cell between bond court and the Little Village jail complex, according to Cara Smith, chief policy adviser to Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart.

Several of the inmates step to the front of the cell as the shackled Legghette approaches, and four or five of them begin clapping as seven sheriff's officers escort him to the jail.
