The Chicago police are sending everything they've got to Grant Park right now. They're beating protesters. Folks have been pepper sprayed.
There's a lot that's unclear on the livestream and my communication with folks on the ground is unsteady, but the cops have def beaten tf out of some folks out there.
There are folks who are bleeding, some folks have been arrested. I'm not clear on how many. Cops are still being aggressive with folks.
