At least 61 people were arrested Sunday in Chicago after an unruly crowd fought with officers, and jumped on cop cars at the end of Independence Day celebrations in the city, according to reports.
Those arrested – mostly young adults and minors – were among the hundreds of people who flooded the city's downtown streets. Bottle rockets were fired at officers during the unrest, one of whom was hit near the ear, police said. Another officer was injured during a scuffle with a suspect. Others in the crowd resisted orders to disperse, FOX 32 Chicago reported.
They were arrested for offenses including battery, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest, a police spokesperson told the station.
"Sunday night was a disaster," said Ald. Brian Hopkins, according to Chicago's WBBM-TV. "We had massive chaos and mayhem downtown. We had guns in backpacks. Guns in pockets. A large number of firearms present."
In a separate incident, two Chicago cops were shot early Monday as police attempted to break up a crowd on the city's West Side.
A man fired into a crowd of revelers around 1:30 a.m., striking Patrina Wines, who took over as commander of the 15th District last year, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. A police sergeant also suffered a graze wound to the leg. Wines and the sergeant did not require hospitalization.(snip)
More than 90 people have been shot in Chicago since Friday evening, FOX 32 reported.

Welcome to yet another episode of “The Usual Suspects.”
Makes one pine for the days of Mayor Daley.
It starts when we call them cops who drive around in cop cars. Cop is not a term of respect.
The usual suspects. More white supremacists wearing blackface.
Lightbrain meets Birdbrain.
What is the term for not allowing people out at night —— except those going to or from work? Chicago needs it.

All of which will likely be released with no charges

Bkmk
I think the cop car sales companies are hiring BLM and Antifa thugs to damage and fire bomb the cop cars to increase sales. They know the city governments are not smart enough to figure it out.
I think that there is a striking resemblance of the Mayor Lighthead and the old comic character Beetlejuice.
Wonder how many businesses will renew their leases?
Never thought I would miss a Daley! But I do.
