pretty dramatic video of lots of people looting Nordstrom's (even tho the poster sounds like a Trump paramour, I think the video came from elsewhere)

could be hoax news? very sophisticated if so Twitter doesn't have it on the "trending" anymore, took it down on purpose?
This Chicago Tribune guy has retweeted quite a few of P.O. Potato's Scanner tweets, and I know he's a totally legit Chicago reporter, is how I first saw the news

here's another Chicago police scanner fan, just popped up on "trending":

He/she's got these two videos as his latest tweets:

Chicago Tribune does have these two stories related to the "gold coast" of Chicago from Aug. 4-5 on its home page, as you can see, Nickeas is one of the reporters

Rapper made ‘derogatory’ video about rival gang members before he was killed. Now Chicago police are bracing for the retaliation.
Chicago police are investigating whether a rapper was killed in a brazen Gold Coast shooting after recently making a video featuring “derogatory statements” about rival gang members who have died.

I have seen comments in the past that they are down to a skeleton staff, so it is not surprising that these are still on the home page as "Breaking News"
by artappraiser on Mon, 08/10/2020 - 4:20am
Ok, finally proof it's not a hoax story:
Not a peep about it on the cable teevee news yet.

They are doing Live Coverage. WGN has long been Chicago's most powerful radio station with affiliated TV station.
by artappraiser on Mon, 08/10/2020 - 7:10am
They're basically shutting the whole area down! CTA train and bus service is suspended....Other entry points to the downtown area are closed as well. The bridges at Michigan, Columbus, State, Wabash and Dearborn are lifted.... Lifting the bridges,that's so cars can't get in, that's a clever move, those are there to lift for large boats giving ample warning, basically by appt.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Wednesday traced a June decline in police activity to demonstrations tied to the death of George Floyd, categorically denying that Chicago cops had returned to a defensive crouch because they fear she won’t back them.
Lightfoot said June was a “month of civic uprising” and police officers were tied up “making sure that people could safely” express their First Amendment rights.
“The first two weeks in June, we had probably five-to-10 marches every single day. So, yeah, they weren’t making traffic stops and they weren’t making a lot of arrests because they were busy in making sure that the people [who] were out in the streets in their righteous indignation over the murder of George Floyd were able to express themselves safely.”
The Sun-Times reported this week that as murders soared during the month of June, police activity plummeted.
During the first 28 days of June, the number of murders was up 83% compared to the same period a year ago. Meanwhile, arrests were down 55%. Street stops fell by 74% and traffic stops dropped by 86%.
Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara has blamed rock-bottom morale and distrust of Lightfoot for the dramatic slowdown in police activity.

Indeed, Chicago's Magnificent Mile could look like downtown White Plains, NY soon, which now has a Walmart, TGIF, and CVS on a once vibrant Main St. that once had a lot of interesting boutiques alongside mom and pop stores and restaurants.
