Roughly 3,000 demonstrators have shut down a large portion of Michigan Avenue in Chicago-the "Magnificent Mile"-in the middle of Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year, to protest the shooting of black teenager Laquon McDonald.
The 17-year-old was killed in October 2014, and was apparently armed with a knife at the time. Video of the shooting released on Tuesday, however, shows that he was walking away from police at the time he was shot 16 times by Officer Jason Van Dyke.
Turnout was strong despite 39-degree weather and rainy conditions. Demonstrators shouted "16 shots!" and "No justice, no shopping!"
The march started at Michigan and Wacker Drive and began walking north. They include demonstrators from the Nation of Islam, which is marching under the banner of "Justice of Else"; RevCom, the Revolutionary Communist Party, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson's Rainbow PUSH coalition.

Nothing a few gallons of gas and a match couldn’t stop.
Common sense is not allowed.
The only thing missing from those flags is the hammer & sickle. Used to be there, you know.
The shoppers didn’t cover up the shooting, the mayor helped with that. They COULD have supported Garcia and things would have probably moved earlier....
You ask, “How’s that going to work out?”
According to Karl Marx, to start a Communist Revolution, one must have disgruntled workers who will rise up and destroy their government, and once the existing government is destroyed, Communists will quickly fill the void with a Communist dictatorship. As there aren’t sufficient numbers of disgruntled workers in the United States for Communists to use in a revolution, Communists intend to split American culture along race and class lines and set off a “proletarian” revolution to destroy Capitalism. The Left has now managed to elect a half-Black Marxist radical as President and their revolution is proceeding along very predictable lines, with Obama using every opportunity to stir up more division and discontent. A reading of the Constitution of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA at this link should make clear their goals and methods: http://revcom.us/Constitution/constitution.html
no peace..... no peace!
On second thought, it’s obvious what they want.
Skip the due process, jury trial, appeals, etc.
Proceed directly to cop’s execution.
What are the meaning of those flags they are holding?
I won’t be surprised if the Magnificent Mile shutters it doors and moves out of downtown Chicago.
M-60 time.
And if this were to happen in front of a Planned Parenthood?
I can imagine the backlash.
Another option for shopping: Cyber-Monday.
This is instigated and funded by revcom - communist anarchists who are manipulating blacks to engage in a race war.
Nation of Islam participants.
The red, black, and green Pan-African flag designed by the UNIA in 1920. The Pan-African flag — also known as the UNIA flag, Afro-American flag and Black Liberation Flag — is a tri-color flag consisting of three equal horizontal bands of (from top down) red, black and green.
Thank you for link.
You’re welcome.

They look well dressed for a job interview
Three points:
One: The video appears to show that the perp was veering away from the cop when the first shot was fired. Maybe that's true, maybe it's not. That's for a jury to decide.
Two: The video appears to show that the cop continued to fire after the perp had fallen to the ground. It can be argued that the perp was still a danger to the cop. But again, that's for a jury to decide.
Three: The DA claims that the perp's knife was folded into the handle when he was shot. If that's true, a jury will convict in less than an hour.
