At least 18 Chicago Police Department officers were injured and some taken to nearby hospitals for treatment Friday night after a mob of 1,000 left-wing extremists showed up at Grant Park in hopes of tearing down a statue of Christopher Columbus.

Watch scenes of the extremists surrounding the statue, attacking police officers and also grabbing a journalist’s camera from her hands (*Language warning):

And in a week or two, Chicago will have another "unexplained" Covid-19 spike.

Dem Mayor Lightfoot doesn't deal with the Antifoid/BLM violence, and Dem Governor Putzker does nothing.

Dem Mayor Durkan doesn't deal with the Antifoid/BLM violence, and Dem Governor Inslee does nothing.

Dem Mayor Wheeler doesn't deal with the Antifoid/BLM violence, and Dem Governor Brown does nothing.

Are they that kind of stupid? Or are they trolling Trump to violate the US Constitution, with consequent lawsuits and shampeachment? "Yes" is an option, I suppose.

Dozens of BLM and Antifa Full On Attack Police in Chicago, Police Reinforcements Make Them Regret It

There was a BLM ‘protest’ in Chicago, then came what appeared to be a coordinated effort to pull down a statue of Christopher Columbus in Grant Park. That devolved into an all out attack on the police officers there to defend the statue.

Rioters pelted the police, most of whom had no helmets on, with all kinds of bricks, rocks, sticks, bottles, even fireworks, you name it, it looked like an incoming barrage.

One BLM guy says “peaceful protest” but everyone else is just attacking the police trying to get over the wall to attack the statue.
