Looters, vandals sweep through Chicago’s Magnificent Mile after police shooting

About 100 people were arrested in Chicago and 13 police officers were injured during a night of looting and vandalism — hours after cops shot a young man who had fired at them, according to reports.

The mayhem began about 2:30 p.m. Sunday, when cops responded to reports of a man with a gun in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side and located a person who fit the description near Moran Park, the Chicago Tribune reported.

While running away from police, the suspect turned around and fired at them. The officers returned fire, wounding the gunman, who was transported to University of Chicago Hospital in unknown condition, according to the newspaper.

Police Superintendent David Brown said during a press briefing Monday that the looting was sparked as a result of misinformation that cops had shot and wounded a child, WGN reported.

Undoubtedly a group of Republican fund raisers attempting to beef up Trump’s re-election fund. Things are getting desperate in Red Land with Russian backed PACs providing less cash.

It only follows logic that when a rumor of a cop shooting a kid is circulated, looting is necessary to make everything better.

Any excuse to rationalize your actions. There is no excuse for looting.

6:47 your IQ is really showing with your ignorant conspiracy theories. Go ahead & name a Russian PAC that Trump gets cash from or perhaps it’s the Martians from Mars. The Clinton Foundation ended up with 223 million from the bank of Moscow. That’s the cow you voted for idiot.

Watched Donna Braziele on "The Five" yesterday and she referred to the shooting suspect as a young man. This perpetuates the problem; he was a thug and brandishing a gun! Just like Michael Brown who was a thug. Does one really think the cops are out to get nice young men (regardless of race)? The cops are called for a reason and I am pretty sure are not looking to get involved in some racial dust up. All of the people involved in these police circumstances have rap sheets and history of crime. Tell it like it is.

I turn the TV off as soon as I see Donna Brazile. She gave Hillary the questions at the debates between Trump and Hillary. Gave Hillary the upper hand on answering debate questions. She shouldn't be on any TV channel especially FOX.
