One of Mayor Rahm Emanuel's deputy chiefs of staff was attacked Sunday evening while attending a vigil for Bettie Jones and Quintonio LeGrier, who were fatally shot by Chicago Police in West Garfield Park on Saturday.

According to a source, Vance Henry was attending the vigil about 5:50 p.m. at the site of the shooting in the 4700 block of West Erie when he was attacked.

The police department's Office of News Affairs confirmed that a 50-year-old man was at the vigil when "he was approached by an unknown person who began to make verbal threats which escalated to a physical altercation."

The man was punched with a closed fist, tackled to the ground and kicked repeatedly, according to police.

"What are you doing here, you should be downtown doing something about this," one said before the attack, cursing Emanuel. The man also said: "The police are killing us." One attacker also made an anti-Semitic remark; Emanuel is Jewish.

I’m guessing he got in thru some back door as he certainly doesn’t appear to really meet any one of the 12 conditions.

Which makes sense why he was pissed when someone narcd him out about his family trip to Cuba.
