Chicago PD say they’re ready for whatever might happen tonight, as dueling protests compete on Michigan Ave: one, led by Ben Yosef, protesting police brutality, calling to shut down #MagMile; the other with #BackTheBlue activists calling for a shopping spree on the #MagMile.

Okay, let the games begin! Chicago dueling protests start now.

He seems nice. Nearby, the police are chasing a man with a gun.

Aaaand, we have skateboards being used as weapons. Off to a great start.

About to have a car chase now. Trunk of the offender is open.

Police just confirmed offender committed robbery and were told to LET HIM GO. “It’s just a theft.”

Victim is in front of the Shed Aquarium, and it’s going to take some time to get a squad there. There’s no units available.

Two officers still following suspect. :) :)

Suspect nearly hit someone with his vehicle!

“Put a stop on him before he kills someone, what the fuck!” —Chicago LEO

And he’s in custody. +1 for the good guys.

Just from that interaction there, you can tell there’s a struggle going on between doing what’s right - and not doing anything at all. Leadership failure.

Oh, a man is on fire.

Protesters doing an about face, now heading AWAY from the #MagMile - good choice.

Female mentally unstable patient has jumped out of the ambulance. lol wtf

Correction: male psych patient busted the glass, escaped the ambulance, and idk wtf.

Brb, literally making popcorn.

At the Marriott: Two toddlers standing on the window sill on the 8th-ish floor, trying to open it. No adults in the room.

N Clark: large white box truck with the engine running, sitting in front of a building. A man jumped out, got on a motorbike and took off. “Something’s not right.”

The truck has Oklahoma plates.

Two BMWs driving recklessly on the bike path.

10+ ppl on dirt bikes blowing through red lights and stop signs.

Box truck is clear.
