Hundreds of ‘mostly peaceful protesters’ swept through the Magnificent Mile and other parts of downtown Chicago early Monday, smashing windows, looting stores, confronting police and at one point exchanging gunfire with officers, authorities said.

As The Chicago Tribune reports, officers had stopped several people on Lake Street near Michigan Avenue when shots were fired from a passing car around 4:30 a.m., nearly five hours into the widespread vandalism, according to police spokesman Tom Ahern.

No officers were shot but a squad car was hit, he said. It was not known if anyone in the gunman’s car was shot.
Police made “a lot of arrests” and recovered at least one gun, officials said.
And that escalation, as Summit News’ Paul Joseph Watson details, prompted Chicago authorities took the decision to raise all major bridges in an effort to prevent looters reaching the downtown area after a night of chaos.
Luxury department stores were ransacked as hundreds of looters caused mayhem in response to the police shooting of an armed suspect in Englewood.
Police sent to respond to the looting were physically attacked, prompting authorities to raise major bridges in order to keep more people out of the area.
“All bridges are being raised along the river throughout The Loop,” reports CBS Chicago. “Chicago’s Office of Emergency Management announced street closures throughout areas in the Magnificent Mile, Gold Coast and South Loop.”
Numerous bus and train services have also been suspended, while large areas of downtown Chicago are also closed.
Bridges were previously raised last month in an effort to keep Black Lives Matter protesters away from the business district, but the call to do so this time around appears to have come too late.

He doesn’t need to stiff anything. In his case, that is genetic.
Americans could not kill each other off soon enough, that’s the most we could expect from them. Realising how stupid they’ve been in serving as taxcattle for the global Zioterrorist corporate regime ruling the US and much of the world by proxy is way beyond their thinking skills, so they can’t be expected to point their guns at the Fed-Pentagon-Hollywood-Wall St. axis of terror.

I feel really sorry for these police who have to deal with some of the worst, feral urban dwellers and Marxists, only to be condemned by the media and leftist council.
They should just abandon the city and let the council’s violent pets fully enrich their ‘vibrant’ city. Why defend the people who hate you?
“democrats” in charge :)
Bandits Lives Matter!
