Listening to the Chicago police scanner, this is just insane... it’s like an audio drama about some strange alternative reality. They’re talking about people walking out of Walgreens with shopping carts full of pharmaceuticals. #ChicagoRiots
“Does anyone know if -?- bridge is down?”
“Yes, I think that was one they gave us”
This dispatcher is doing God’s work, I swear.
Looted rental vehicles and a passed out person, right in front of one of my old employers’ towers. This is just nuts
Geeeeeze.... security in stores calling in burglaries, then not picking up when dispatch calls them back. This is Dark Knight shit (waitthatwasfilmedinchicagolol)
These police sound so depressed... remind me never to complain about milwaukee ever again.
Calming down in this district, gonna switch to see more (just some hearsay about some people looting a Chase Bank)
People looting a liquor store with a vehicle in zone 12 (districts 15 and 25)
May or may not have found a deceased male in a car with smashed windows (zone 4 - Districts 1 and 18)
Dispatch reporting more looting in a different area, police I believe just said “were kind of bare over there”. I don’t know what they’re meant to do. If they aren’t allowed to act, all they can do is watch and try and arrest people as they separate from the large groups.
Oh boy. I’m not a super religious person, but I’m praying for you guys in Chicagoland. Our cities are pretty amazing, but this is all just confirming to me that humans in cities are two days away from chaos at all times.
