Current scene outside the 16th District Police Station. Pro police supporters are chanting at counter protesters to "Go Back To Work". #Chicago #ChicagoProtests
A couple dozen counter protesters are set up across the streer from the 16th District station. #Chicago #ChicagoProtests
Police are keeping pro police supporters back from counter protesters. #Chicago #ChicagoProtests
Mancow has taken to the stage, preaching about good and evil, and God. He was also seen handing out some facemasks with a printing of his iconic goatee printed on it. #Chicago #ChicagoProtests
The alderman who organized this is getting pretty flustered this is getting political. Urging so people to stay positive and keep politics out. #Chicago #ChicagoProtests
Like he's getting super uncomfortable with this.

And its been wrapped up, not all the speakers who said they would speak got to speak. #Chicago #ChicagoProtests
Protesters are still chasing and yelling at one another. One pro-police protester tried to rip an American flag away from a counter protester but police wrestled it away from his grasp and returned it to the woman. #Chicago #ChicagoProtests
Chants of "Black Lives Matter" are responded to "All Lives Matter" #Chicago #ChicagoProtests
A police supervisor is telling pro-police supporters to go home so so his guys can get back to work. #Chicago #ChicagoProtests
Some are starting to leave and others are staying and just chating louder. #Chicago #ChicagoProtests
After walking the premises of the rally and protest, I'd say around 600 pro-police supporters and 50 counter protesters. You still have people cycling in and out but numbers are dropping off. #Chicago #ChicagoProtests
From everyone here, protesters, supporters, police, politicians, fire staff...maybe anywhere from 40%-60% are wearing masks. #Chicago #ChicagoProtests
Didnt name the alderman because I'm not entirely familiar with Chicagos 50 aldermen.
Its Nicholas Sposato who got uncomfortable with the rally, tried to cut his guests off when they got political and cut the event short of a few people who were to speak #Chicago #ChicagoProtests
Police have cleared the streets a weird calm is starting to set in now. People are starting to go home. All in all beside some shouting and shoving from both sides it was peaceful. #Chicago #ChicagoProtests
