Nearly 30 young people were arrested in downtown Chicago Wednesday night when fights broke out as hundreds of students and about 200 officers wound through bustling streets.

The large groups of young people, many of them high school students, moved through the Loop and the Near North Side, according to Chief of Patrol Fred Waller, speaking at the corner of State and Lake streets after 9 p.m. “The challenge is to keep the public safety,” he said.

Twenty males and six females — all juveniles — were taken into custody, most of them charged with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, and released to their parents, a police spokesman said Thursday morning.

Waller said there were probably about 500 teens traveling through the city. Shortly after 9 p.m., police lined the middle of State Street outside of the Chicago Theatre. More than a dozen officers on bikes surrounded the teens and blared their sirens. About 15 minutes later, a large group bolted back to the corner of State and Lake streets as two women posed for a photo in front of the Chicago Theatre marquee.

“When they run like that, someone starts a fight,” Waller said.

Police strategy was a lot of tolerance, talking to the kids and moving the crowd along to public transportation, Waller said.

“And people who were completely disobeying the law, they had to be arrested,” he said.

“If the ladies’ purses were heavy the teens could hold them to lighten the load on their feet”.

LOL! That’s right.

These type of black mobs seemed to just sprout up, across the nation, since Obama was in office. I blame Obama.

><

You’re right. Obama did all he could to foment racial tension.

“Police strategy was a lot of tolerance,...”

Therein lies the problem. Expect more of this.

Historically , we PAY them not to riot. The payment is late or they want more...………………………..

“Young people” or “Youths” being used as euphemisms in describing riots by young minority hooligans is nothing new.

I recall reading the “youths” description of a riot in a New York Times article from 1960. Only the “Harlem” location of the riot gave it away.

The PC-brain dead liberals have been at this for a lifetime.

“Whitewash” the problem instead of reporting accurately on it.

Western Civilization is doomed.

I just wish the parents would step up and control their kids.

Probably 70+% are in single parent households, and the single parent is either working to keep head above water or drugged to the point of don't give a damn.

that city is a craphole. could not get out of illannoy fast enough. I have a personal policy of leaving nothing in illannoy except exhaust fumes and urine.

Lol. Post of the Week.

So where’s the black community as a whole to do something about this? Throwing money at people who “don’t give a damn” hasn’t worked....and I don’t buy single mothers can’t raise their kids right because they’re working. There’s plenty of singe mothers who have raised kids alone successfully.
