A Chicago-area prosecutor and the chief Cook County judge challenged claims by city officials that a lack of consequences for rioting earlier this summer led to widespread looting in Chicago overnight Sunday.

Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx said the unrest in the wake of George Floyd’s death in police custody in Minneapolis in May “requires us to ask tough questions, to do deep deliberation, and to put all hands on deck.”
