CHICAGO—Hundreds of looters descended on Chicago’s upscale Magnificent Mile and other shopping areas overnight, breaking windows and clearing out brand-name stores and mom-and-pop shops alike in what appeared to be orchestrated attacks that came hours after police exchanged gunfire with a suspect and shot him on the city’s South Side, police said.

Police raised downtown drawbridges, closed freeway ramps and made more than 100 arrests in the chaotic early morning hours. Officers arresting a suspect with a cash register looted...

BLM at its best.

Free for all

The night Chicago died. Good job, Dems!

Everyone of them should be arrested, revealed and shamed for turning the death of George Floyd and others, and pandemic suffering, into a mockery

this is why defunding the police is not the answer. The EJI suggests many federal reforms, including ending the transfer of military equipment to police departments, a national comprehensive policy on use-of-force, a law banning lethal force, and mandatory racial biases training.

Orchestrated attacks? realDonaldTrump should enlist the help of NSA boffins and FBI to connect the dots and find the ringleaders.

Social media used in enabling,,,guilty

Let me guess who is in charge in Chicago?

Please stop talking like this. They were peaceful protests. Nothing says social justice like a new TV or a Louis Vuitton bag.

Oh but Pelosi told us they were peaceful protestors just doing their what they do? 🤔 I'm confused now..

Just like in LA these are organized criminals -not protesters.

Disgusting, feral animals.

If you elected a third world low to be mayor, you deserve having a third world life. This is the rule of nature.

Nothing but thieves orchestrated by BLM Marxist trained leaders and the Antifa Anarchist white Leaders to use the shooting as a right to commit felonies!

When will democrats stop encouraging the rioting? The Mayor take action

No QUESTION it was ORCHESTRATED! So far, 100 arrests (& climbing)

You mean the once Magnificent Mile. Chicago is the new Detroit. Once a great city of two million hard working people, now a welfare town of less than five hundred thousand welfare recipients.

Again justifying the well organized and funded leftist movement whose goal is to destroy and cause chaos.

Southside is the tough side of chicago for generations due to the city ignorance policy. Chicago should look at harlem in nyc to learn something good.

But according to Mayor Lightfoot, it's the people at the beaches that are furthering the spread of Covid-19.

Less police and distancing from the required Western family model (fathers) would solve all this

'Police are NOT allowed to shoot one of us. That's our job and we're damn good at it!'

'Mostly Peaceful' looters? CNN AliVelshi FakeNewsCNN MSDNC

Trump needs to arrest organizers and funders and put them away for a long time

BlackCrimesMatter

'When individuals get crowbars and start prying open doors to loot, they're not protesting. They're not making a statement. They're stealing.' President B. Obama, Baltimore, April 2015

I assume these are more of the peaceful protestors the MSM has been describing for the past two months? So peaceful!

Just looking for bread in the Tesla dealership.

Stop Democrat attempts to rig elections - it is disgusting - and really low life to Americans - Latinos - Israeli's - Blacks and American Indians from all tribes even those blocking America commerce today 8/10/2020 at Sturgis

Orchestrated? As maybe some group of ppl trying to escalate shit for optics... are we on a third world country now, this administration and their groupies are becoming very dangerous...

Orchestrated= Cheeto's paid goons..

RealDonaldTrump is going to send in unidentified troops to Chicago, isn't he? Any minute now.

bolsheviks

Law & Order. 'The Chicago Way'

Probably other gang members.

you get what you vote for. and i am loving every second of this lmao

give it a couple hrs the looters will start killing each other, but that will be ok StopTheViolence

Did you see Lori Lightfoot's press conference. That is what leadership looks like realDonaldTrump. I would not be surprised if PutinsGOP are not fanning the flames of looting on social media just like they are trying to get KanyeWest on the ballot. PutinOwnsTrump

Keep pushing pigs and it will bring the violence the leader seeks. It will also put a big FAT target on your backs. Enjoy mob justice.

Living in Chicago is scary and unsafe! I haven’t felt safe in this city all year! And it’s sad what they’re doing to our local economy 😞

Orchestrated? That's organized crime, not random opportunist looters.

When do we just use lethal force on looters? Break a window you get a round. Loot a round. These rioting pieces of shit have faced ZERO CONSEQUENCES for their violence and destruction. It’s why it keeps happening. Light a few up and it will stop.

Joe Biden America

This is what will happen everywhere once people realize there won’t be any money for social security.
