Think I’m calling off tomorrow. Most of the businesses in the vicinity were vandalized and a couple set on fire. I really don’t feel like driving home after curfew.

Just because their black doesn't mean they can't act like dicks who aren't following proper protocols.Oh look. Several black police officers with their name and badge blacked out, as well....
Must be ready to commit some police brutality, and want to remain anonymous.

Race of the police has nothing to do with it. White black, brown, yellow, when you're a member of the police force you're baptiszed into the culture.Imagine stereotyping an entire organization, of thousands of individuals, while simultaneously criticizing....stereotyping.
You realize half of CPD is....people of color?
Depends on the business and the location.OT question but how long you guys think it will take for businesses to re-open downtown after yesterday
Hear some sirens coming in from the north - more than usual - but I’m assuming that’s mostly just people being brought in to Christ.How's it going in ep?

I could see this starting to die down tomorrow when the weekend is over and people have to start going back to work. Still will have some chaos and destruction, but depending on how big the dropoff is compared to yesterday and today can be a big difference maker.
If things die down outside of a few cases here and there, and a particular business didn't get hit, I'd say maybe Wednesday and they'd just monitor the situation a bit and adjust with what the climate is like leading into next weekend.
Man they had a grocery store and a target two blocks down on fire and they didn’t stop. Worked right through today. Railroad doesn’t close.Good call. Assuming they even open up. Metra to the city is already closed tomorrow. Stay safe man.
I was meaning more downtown area, but hadn't heard that number for the mag mile. So maybe most of the city starts cleanup over the next few days and then decide how to proceed.Over 130 businesses were damaged last night just on mag mile. It might be a while, depending on how bad the damage is. Some of these small businesses in the poorer neighborhoods may just say f*** it.

All you need to do is a basic search to see dozens of cases of police abusing peaceful protestors in the past couple days.Oh look. Several black police officers with their name and badge blacked out, as well....

Restaurants don't have too much of a struggle provided they weren't set a blaze and/or had their fridge jacked. What with covid keeping most of those places as carryout/delivery services, you could just board up some windows, restock your shelves and try to get the word out that you are open.I'm curious about the loop...so much damage...how long will it take to restore stores, bars, restaurants, bank buildings, etc...

Yes, that does not excuse looting. But the trigger for all this was the police behavior. If they could just do their jobs without murdering peolee none of this would be happening.

Ok. Good to hear. Other then the sirens, doesn't matter the situation.
