      According to an executive order issued by Mayor Lori Lightfoot, effective as of June 17, “Any Gathering of more than ten people, any two or more of whom are within six feet of each other, convening for more than ten minutes, is a Prohibited Gathering” in the City of Chicagopic.twitter.com/F2OfLtvEU3

      Senior CPD officer on scene confirms to me the event is technically illegal but it would be “a problem” to arrest so many people. “This is why you’re seeing cases spike,” he said

      You could uncritically report on what the member of a notoriously brutal & lawless police force says about protestors or you could look at evidence. Life is full of choices.pic.twitter.com/CB17kuLrqh

      Not interested in reporting tips from you as you sit in your residence somewhere in Saskatchewan. Have you ever reported in-person on any US political events? If so, please pass along.

      Let's stipulate that I'm just a twitter clown and you are a serious reporter! That means you should be held to some standards and not be uncritically reporting what the cops are saying, especially when it is contradicted by evidence.

      I’m definitely going to bookmark that stipulation for later use.

      I've never claimed to be more than a twitter clown. The question is, why are you okay with parroting cop propaganda?
