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.

#Chicago #ChicagoProtests

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

Chicago police are on scene for two people shot including 1 fatally in the 6200 block of South Artesian. #Chicago #ChicagoScanner

The shooting appears to have taken place in front of the Premium Good & Liquor corner store. The sign itself appears to have bullet holes in it. #Chicago #ChicagoScanner

There a vigil for someone mere feet from this crime scene. #Chicago #ChicagoScanner

For those looking to photograph Fireworks tonight follow these easy steps and you should get pretty good results (the steps mentioned will apply to consumer grade to professional DSLR's and Mirrorless cameras with manual settings). #FourthofJuly

First you will need the following.

- A DSLR or Mirrorless Camera capable of manual controls.
- A Tripod
- A cable release, or a wireless cable release, or app control of the camera using your phone.

Next get into location and set up your camera on the tripod and frame your image. I would recommend getting to the location as early as possible to get the best spot to frame your photos, and so you have a little light left to compose your images.

You can watch the fireworks anywhere along the Lakefront except Adler. Chicago police are turning people and telling them to go by Shedd.

Now police are removing people from lakefront path near Shedd saying they can watch the display next to Shedd.

Folks are getting really ticked off.

June as a month in Chicago had it's highest highs and it's lowest lows, but one thing that can be said about June was that for better or worse things are returning to normal in Chicago. #Chicago
