COMMUNITY ALERT The Berwyn Police Department has received credible intelligence which suggests that a large gathering is being planned to take place this Saturday, April 22nd, during the afternoon and evening hours in the area of the North Riverside Park Mall. This gathering, much like what was reported on in the City of Chicago last weekend, has the potential for public disturbances and acts of violence. The Berwyn Police Department has been in contact with North Riverside and other neighboring jurisdictions to mitigate this potential. Preventative measures are currently being implemented, as well as preparations for a unified response on Saturday. We ask all Berwyn residents to remain vigilant, and report any suspicious activity that might be related to this gathering to the Berwyn Police Department. In an effort to keep your children, young adults, and families safe, please consider this advisory before making any plans near the North Riverside Park Mall on Saturday. The Berwyn Police Department is committed to collaborating with neighboring agencies to keep our community safe. We will be working to swiftly disperse participants, and ask you to avoid this area if at all possible. The Berwyn Police Department will provide updates to this advisory as needed, and thank you in advance for your cooperation. For any questions or media inquiries please contact Chief Michael Cimaglia: mcimaglia@ci.berwyn.il.us or (708) 795-2100. Thank You, Michael D. Cimaglia Chief of Police ____

So, if you’re a young, wokey girl with a black boyfriend, you be sure to go down and show your support!
raciss!
What are they implying ? Avoid areas where there are young blacks?
Isn’t that you know……
Racist
How about CCW insurance? Anybody?
I don’t get it but I do get it. What should be done is have a HEAVY police presence armed to the teeth. And when the large group of “teens” show up walk right into them. The first one to assulat an officer shoud be taken down quickly and forcibly and hauled into a bus. Everybody afterwards should be treated the same. If the crowd starts to riot get out the fricking water cannons and tear gas and go to town.
”Ber-wyn!”
I’ll get the popcorn, someone bring chairs and drinks.
Brookfield Zoo is right next-door; no shortage of cages if things get out-of-hand.
If that were to happen , then the narrative would be that these police are acting just like Bull Connor and his police dogs 60 years ago.
I agree with you that unruly crowds ought to be dealt with by riot police. I’m just saying that if that happened, the media would portray it as a severe overreaction. People like the outgoing and new incoming mayor of Chicago, would say, hey these young people are just out enjoying the evening and we’re seeing police brutality.
I sure hope nothing happens. If I lived around there I think I would avoid the area on Saturday just in case.
Could be a set-up, as well. Provoke a big response to a nothing-burger, and yell “racism. “
tell ‘em one location then set up the riot somewhere else...
I was wondering how all those kids got downtown this past weekend.
Bussed in?
The El, maybe. The area is probably “blessed” with plenty of mass transit. A good way to flee any ensuing fracas, as well.
Memories of a Chicagoland youth!
It’s a straight shot from the South Side to the Loop via the Red Line. Some of the more entrepreneurial “teens” will alight at Roosevelt to assault fellow CTA passengers, maybe grab a sailfoam or two, before continuing their commute to downtown.
thanx...maybe....there is a train stop at millenium station... Randolph & Michigan ave...end of the line from the south side.
wonder why Metra didn’t notice a large contingent of utes and question it...
