Is this the link you’re looking for? I haven’t seen French quoted anywhere else or heard of any other reporter asking him about the quote. Is it heresay or is it probable cause for a stop? Maybe someone should screen-grab this before it disappears?
Alderman Antonio French per CLTV, Chicago 7:00am, 8/11/14:
“He said a local QuikTrip gas station was looted and an ATM dragged out.
“This QuikTrip is where things started yesterday with this case, based on various accounts,” French said. “Mike and his friend were accused of stealing gum from the store or some sort of cigarettes.”

Thanks for the link. Nice to have some source to backup what I heard that night.
BTW, the ATM was out in the street. Later they came back and loaded it onto a truck.
All of this mayhem because a gang wanted retribution on QT for calling the cops on Big Mike. The story the Media doesn’t want to talk about.
