Small gathering of people at Roosevelt and Columbus. People are demanding that the charges against Jeremy "Mohawk" Johnson are dropped. Johnson allegedly struck a police officer with a skateboard. #Chicago#ChicagoProtests
The group is about 50 strong are going over some chants and will be marching pretty soon. #Chicago#ChicagoProtests
People are moving westbound on Roosevelt police and protest marshals are helping block traffic. #Chicago#ChicagoProtests
A police supervisor tried talking with the organizer telling them this isnt a sanctioned protest and that they had to go to the sidewalk and bikes ans scooters had to be in the bikelanes. #Chicago#ChicagoProtests
Now heading west on Polk near Plymouth. Protest is still relatively small at around 50 individuals. #Chicago#ChicagoProtests
Heading north on Plymouth CT. Chanting "Taking it to the streets fuck the police" #Chicago#ChicagoProtests
The amount of police watching over this protest has grown from a handful of bike mounted officers, to almost 2 dozen bikes and a handful of patrol vehicles in the back. #Chicago#ChicagoProtests
A man on a Divvy was yelling at protesters telling them "to go back to their hood" and to "get the fuck out of my neighborhood".
A police supervisor told him to get the fuck out of here and to "put a fucking muzzle" on his dog. #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
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.
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
