Feeling extremely on edge today. There was a lot of “action” near my apartment last night — a police formation nearby at Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s house prevented protestors from assembling on her street, as well as a high speed car chase. I heard helicopters overhead for hours and hours, with cop cars speeding by and sirens all around me. Apparently the car chase was connected to a homicide… and the suspect did not give up so easily! He evaded the police all over the northwest side, ran from 10+ cops during a foot chase at one point, then carjacked someone (and another chase ensued). Several car crashes took place as a result. Sigh.
Wondering how so many people are up in arms about “looters” when we have a far more dangerous force looming about? I am much more scared of the police.
