5:40 in Chicago--

Support the Police Rally in the 16th District.

Featuring giant inflatable cop car / slide (???).

There's a counter-protest planned. #chicagoprotests

Biggest numbers at a Back the Blue rally I've seen so far this summer. Few hundred for sure.

We're in cop territory, so not surprising.

They just realized counter protesters are here.

Back the Blue supporters / counter-protesters in Jefferson Park.

Cops moving in to separate the two groups.

License plate taped over.

This crowd is rowdy, defiant, and full of insults for literally everyone. Yelling gross things at press. Good god.

They've been chanting USA! USA! for...a while now.

Just spit those shells right out.

Speakers starting.

Some wandering over to listen, others staying put here in the road so they can keep shouting at the counter-protesters.

Definitely can't hear the speakers from over here.
