A Black Lives Matter rally in Chicago on Monday denounced Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the police for cracking down on some of the hundreds of people who looted the city over the weekend, while calling for abolishing the police.
Organizers said they don’t believe the official story about what transpired on Sunday during a police interaction. Officials said that officers received a report of a man with a gun and, after responding and trying to approach the man, he fled. While moving away from officers, the 20-year-old produced a gun and opened fire, prompting return fire.
