Some of those businesses may be part of gang organization in some cases

The Outfit had armed men guarding businesses that they had stakes in or used for money laundering in 68 riots

Not saying that is for sure case but it is something that historically has happened with mob connected businesses in past

Yes and no. There's stuff on Facebook that they are protecting a Walgreens and McDonald's on Torrance in the South East Side area (latin kings) as well as a hair salon shouting "not out here mothaf***as".

Good for them. It's crazy when gang members can think more logically than the people burning neighborhoods to the ground. Most of these f***ing rioters probably aren't even FROM the neighborhoods they are rioting in.

This is the likely answer. Again, you cover your badge so you can't be reported, but leave your last name, and detective, uncovered right on the other side of your chest? Sure. No.
This doesn't explain those that had their badges off entirely.

As always, the likeliest answer is the one that makes the most sense. We all know what's going on here.

No, we don't. You're making a terrible assumption based on your preconceived notion of police officers. Again, it is perfectly reasonable to assume those cops have f***ing families they want to protect.

If your on North Side of city or downtown the Mayor/Governor has made sure your day thus far has been

HAPPY-1.jpg


By having all the National Guard , Cook County Sheriff's Deputies and State Police augmenting Chicago Police downtown and on Northside



But



If your on West Side , South Side or South Suburbs this is your day





Neither Governor or Mayor acknowledged the existence of West Side , South Side or Suburbs today

Given the history of the organization, I can't think of any organization less deserving the trust of the public than the CPD

Alderman Beale (9th Ward) calling for 3,000+ more Guard to come and says point blank that Governor response (375 guardsman) is pathetic

Also calling out fact NG is deployed downtown exclusively and not thru city where rioting is happening

Chicago 'Burbs
Drove by the Bolingbrook Promenade a little bit ago, by my house. Entire parking lot is shut down with cones and horses, etc. Police everywhere. At least 20 squads just sitting around random areas of the parking lot.

People at the gas station yelling "We're going to Walmart to loot that motherf***er!" "Call everyone you know!"

Yep... they're doing this for Floyd. All about being heard, and having a voice. :laugh:

Also, imagine your business being shut down the last few months, and a few days before you can open back up, some f***ing piece of shit loots it and burns it down. This will be the nail in the coffin for a lot of these small businesses in these neighborhoods. And then people will wonder why nobody wants to open up anything but liquor stores and gas stations in those areas..... Round and round we go. Self-perpetuating cycle of madness.

Yep

Imagine you were owner of that Express Beauty Supply store that was destroyed hours ago with sign above store saying "New Management , Lower Prices , etc"

You lost months to Covid and now your store was destroyed

Also they are looting at 54th and Wentworth live on ABC7 now

Destroying entire shopping center

One idiot has stolen Mattress and Box Spring and tied it to top of car ,, Please someone get police to at very least arrest that jackass

No one is arguing that rioters are rioting because of Floyd...
