There is a “Back the Blue” rally in Chicago, during a global pandemic. The vast majority of attendees are not wearing masks. #ChicagoProtests #BlackLivesMatter   #BlueLivesMatter

Here we go! The first set of counter protestors have arrived. Tensions are flaring. #ChicagoProtests #BlackLivesMatter   #BlueLivesMatter

Caught on camera yelling directions to CPD, who have allowed three avoidable fights in the last few minutes. I can’t be silent while people are being hurt. No. S/o to Glen Brooks. : @MrJesusJMontero #ChicagoProtests #BlackLivesMatter #BlueLivesMatter

Glen Brooks, CPD Director of Public Engagement is proving police protection alone as fights erupt. #ChicagoProtests #BlackLivesMatter #BlueLivesMatter

Police officers have allowed a “Black the Blue” protestor with a flag to cross the line. A fight ensues. #ChicagoProtests #BlackLivesMatter   #BlueLivesMatter

Arguments are still happening. The offical Black Lives Matter rally is at 5pm. This is the pre show. #ChicagoProtests #BlackLivesMatter   #BlueLivesMatter
