Two people were shot, more than 100 people were arrested and 13 police officers were injured as crowds broke windows and looted stores along Michigan Avenue and on the Near North Side overnight and into Monday morning.
Supt. David Brown called the looting “pure criminality” in a news conference Monday morning, not connected to any protest.
“Criminals took to the streets with the confidence that there would be no consequences for their actions,” Brown said, adding that police would aggressively pursue cases against people involved in the looting.
“You have no right, no right to take and destroy the property of others,” Mayor Lori Lightfoot said at the news conference. “We are coming for you. ... I don’t care what justification was given for this. There is no justification.”
The police have started a neighborhood protection plan, and Brown said a team of detectives has been assigned to scour security footage of all incidents.
Access to downtown will be restricted from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., effective Monday night, Brown said.
For several hours this morning, there were no bus or train service in the area bordered by Fullerton and Ashland avenues and Cermak road for several hours, the CTA said. The transit agency was in the process of restoring normal service shortly before 8 a.m.
All downtown bridges except LaSalle Street were raised. The Chicago Department of Transportation said they were being lowered again as of 7:15 a.m., but ongoing street closures could be expected throughout the downtown area.
Brown said “the seeds for the shameful destruction we saw last night” started with a police-involved shooting in Englewood Sunday afternoon. About 2:30 p.m., officers responded to a report of a man with a gun. He fled as they arrived, Brown said, and fired at officers. They returned fire, striking the man, who was taken to the University of Chicago Hospital and is expected to survive. The 20-year-old man had previously faced charges of domestic battery, reckless conduct and child endangerment, Brown said.
After the shooting, a crowd gathered in the area. “Tempers flared, fueled by misinformation,” Brown said. Shortly after that, police became aware of “several social media posts” about looting planned downtown. He said the department reacted by deploying 400 officers to the downtown area.

In this episode of People's Party, Talib Kweli and co-host Jasmin Leigh sit down British-born rapper, actress, radio personality, and fully-fledged member of the Native Tongues collective -- Monie Love.
The conversation with Monie evolves into a wide-ranging discussion starting with her childhood, growing up in London, and being heavily influenced by her father's Jamaican heritage. She goes on to give her unique perspective on the current anti-immigration sentiments being spread by groups like ADOS, she tells the story of how she came to be part of the Native Tongues collective at the age of 16, and outlines that organic induction being based on "vibes". Monie also goes on to illustrate the importance of DJ Red Alert, him being the conduit for so many of the greats that are now house-hold names, including herself, and they explore the evolution of Chris Lightly, from security detail for Red Alert to Violator Records executive.
Later Monie touches on her greatest hits, starting with 'Monie In The Middle', and it's lasting impact on the hip hop through all the references that it's attained over the last three decades of music. She also gets into her collab with Queen Latifah -- 'Ladies First' being an anthem to the empowerment of black women. Monie speaks on working with Whitney Houston on 'My Name Is Not Susan', becoming great friends through that experience, gives advice for expecting mothers in the entertainment industry, clears up why she left Philadelphia's WPHI-FM Radio, they discuss breaking down gender profiles in hip hop, and Monie gives it up to the women holding down the culture for today's generation.

She tells how he would force her to write essays to ensure she retained the knowledge.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A dispute that erupted into gun fire at an apparent outdoor party in Washington, D.C., early Sunday left one person dead and some 20 others injured, including an off-duty officer “struggling for her life,” according to police.
A 17-year-old male, identified as Christopher Brown, died in the shooting that occurred after midnight in a southeast side neighborhood where people had gathered for music and food.
"I really don't understand how my child's life is gone. 17, my oldest, I have five boys. Just an innocent king's life is taken for whatever the reason," the teen's mother said Sunday.
“There was some kind of a dispute,” Peter Newsham, the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, told reporters. “Multiple weapons were produced.” He said a motive for the shooting wasn’t clear.
The off-duty officer was taken by fellow officers to a local hospital, Newsham said.
“She’s struggling for her life right now,” he said. He added that “the rest of the gunshot wounds, as far as we know, are non-life-threatening.”
No arrests were immediately announced.
There may have been hundreds of attendees at the gathering despite city restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic on such large gatherings, Newsham said.
Nelson Bostic, a resident in the area, told WTOP the gathering appeared to be a birthday party. After the burst of gunfire, he said he saw “people laying on the ground” and “ducking under cars.”
“It was terrible,” he said.

Azealia Banks appears to be going through a mental health crisis.
The talented, but often controversial 29-year old New York City native, detailed plans to commit suicide on her Instagram stories on Saturday, August 8th.
"Yea, I think I'm done here. This pandemic, extreme lack of social interaction, no intimacy, combined with constant public ridicule is making life harder than it's worth," Banks wrote. "I think I will end my tenure here on earth soon. I'm not begging for attention or asking for sympathy/empathy. I'm just ready to go. Peacefully of course."
This disturbing message comes just several days after Banks shaved her head bald.
Hopefully, the "212" rapper will seek help and not do anything drastic.
If you are considering taking your own life or know anyone that is please reach out to medical professionals ASAP. You can also get help by calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. Website https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/.

The LAPD is pushing back against Mayor Eric Garcetti's threat to kill power at homes defying COVID-19 orders ... because cops don't want any more beef with citizens.
Here's the deal ... Garcetti authorized the city to turn off water and electricity to residents who have big parties in violation of health orders, and he put LAPD in charge of making those requests with the Department of Water and Power.
So, if cops respond to a home and find a large party going down -- like the one last week in Los Angeles that ended with a fatal shooting -- officers can make the call to kill utilities there within 48 hours.
LAPD sources tell TMZ ... no officer wants to shut the power off at a residence, in part because many folks are already pissed at cops. We're told they'd rather focus on reducing real crime, and not turning off home necessities.
Our sources say if the decision is left to officers' discretion ... very few will follow through with Garcetti's threat.
We're told, cops are worried about homeowners who rely on electricity to power a breathing device or food spoiling in fridges. Any of those situations would create way more tension in communities they police.
Bottom line ... we're told cops will absolutely cite a homeowner for throwing an out-of-control party, but cutting someone's power is not a burden they want to bear.

Juelz Santana is enjoying his newfound freedom thanks in part to Meek Mill ... and now he wants to give back to the inmates he met while behind bars.
Here's the deal ... Juelz is fresh outta prison after serving 19 months of his 27-month sentence in his airport drug case, and he's got Meek to thank for some smooth sailing.
Our sources tell us Meek helped Juelz by connecting his wife, Kimbella, with a lawyer who helped guide them through the process to ensure everything worked out. Courts and the prison system can be tricky, and we're told Meek wanted to ensure things would work out for Juelz.
The Dipset MC was able to come straight home and skip the halfway house he was originally destined for. Many halfway houses are shut down because of the pandemic.
Juelz is now on supervised release, which, as we first reported, means he'll have to submit to a drug test within 15 days of his release.
Now that he's out, Juelz tells us he wants to give back to inmates by working with non-profits whose missions include overturning sentences for wrongly convicted prisoners. Juelz says he also wants to help people in prison find a platform for the music and movie scripts they write in lockup.
On that same front, Juelz tells us he wrote a ton of new music on the inside, as well as a script for a TV series. He says he's going to get back in the studio Monday, but also wants to take time to focus on his family and make up for the 19 months he spent in prison.
Juelz's wife is happy to have her husband home ... she says it's surreal to have him back, wake up next to him and see him with their kids.
Sounds like Meek's inspired Juelz too ... his wife says she and Juelz will be working on prison reform efforts.
