Going to put together a Chicago thread of last years “events” to prove Lori Lightfoot is the wrong one. (Tomorrow)
(But today if you’re reading this in the future)

TO BEGIN. Back on Friday a Newsmax reporter pressed Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot about last month's unrest in the city.
Lightfoot denied there were "race riots last summer" but never explained herself.
(I fixed the audio so it doesn't come out of just one headphone ear)

Now the part where I list off protest/riot videos from last year in Chicago.

Photo Thread: 1/ BLM Protesters and Chicago PD clash on Sat 8/15/2020. Organized by @GKMC18 @BlckRising @ChiFreeSchool and several others, this march started peacefully at the Bean before heading North on Michigan Ave. #chicagoprotests #ChicagoProtest #blmchicago #Chicago 
2/ Arriving at Wacker Dr protesters found a police line formed that prevented their eastbound march and a formidable rear line on Michigan Ave. Unclear if Westbound Wacker was blocked at this point, but it was later. This is a lingering question. Why did they close in here?
3/ A standoff of sorts. Kettling progresses, protesters prepare and self-protect, tensions escalate to pushing, shoving, hitting, and pepper spray.

My earlier estimations were off thers maybe around 3000-5000 people at Union park currently, the last time I've seen this park this full was the last time I covered North Coast Music Festival. #Chicago #ChicagoProtests
Two groups of people at union park peqcefully protesting this group on the East part of the park has some distance from one another. #Chicago #GeorgeFloydMemorial
Group of people of the Islamic faith are praying together between the two groups of protesters ar Union Park. #Chicago #GeorgeFloyd
The Fraternal Order of Police are supposedly holding a rally for police at their lodge in the west loop. PD have Washington Street block off near the office. #Chicago #ChicagoProtest
Group of protestes outside Nini's Deli decring a group of street preachers espousing seemingly anti-blm sentiments. #Chicago #GeorgeFloyd
Chants of "Cancel Ninis" erupts outside the deli. #Chicago #GeorgeFloyd
A lot of shouting a little shoving and a few things tossed at the street preachers, cops are keeping their distance for the most part. #Chicago #GeorgeFloyd

Every law enforcer need to resign! You don't have the man power to stop millions of people. I do know for a fact law enforcement in this never ratified 14th Amendment are law breakers...that includes this ENTIRE political system we empower through ignorance since 1868.

Cops DO NOT have NO constitutional duty to protect you & me according to the supreme Court. You all going to have to ask yourselves what is the purpose of the police? Under this 14th Amendment political system is about protecting Corporate interest.
