"Snoop," the barber who was killed by Chicago Police tonight, has a 5-year-old daughter. One of his customers says he usually brings his daughter with him wherever he goes, but she wasn't with him today.
I couldn't see what started this, but there was another huge escalation. People started running away as officers and protestors fought through the fence. People are throwing glass bottles at the police. At least three people pulled into a police car.pic.twitter.com/22lqpopJbs
Internet is bad so it's taking a minute for this video to upload, but Chicago Police just rushed the parking lot and started hitting people. I have my press badge on and identified myself as a reporter but I got shoved to the ground by two cops who smacked my phone out of my hand
Here's the start of the latest escalation, where Chicago Police rushed the protesters, who had been throwing bottles. More video to come.pic.twitter.com/EkSfzbcu4j
Here's the rest of the escalation, including multiple Chicago Police officers on top of one man, hitting him, and then dragging another man. This is also the start of where I get shoved to the ground. That video is coming next.pic.twitter.com/AJ7t85nEHP
This thread got messed up somewhere along the way because of the bad internet reception, so I'm going to tie up some loose ends. Here's the video of Chicago Police officers knocking my phone out of my hand and shoving me.https://twitter.com/NaderDIssa/status/1018352613203546113?s=19 …
Witnesses at the scene said the man who was killed by Chicago Police had a gun in a holster, but wasn't reaching for it and was running away. Others who knew him say he had a concealed carry permit. That's not verified, we'll try to find out more.
Witnesses say the incident started when the officer told him not to sell loose cigarettes. He supposedly told the officer he wasn't selling them, just handing a couple to his aunt. An argument started, and he began to run. That's when the officer fired, per police and witnesses.

The situation has gotten as bad as its been a night. Police charged into the parking lot and started hitting people. Two officers smacked my phone out of my hand and shoved me to the ground. Don't know how many arrests, but at least a dozen from what I could see.pic.twitter.com/L7Q5xQyWSe
I don't see any bottles of urine or glass bottles. Looks like plastic water bottles to me
those who throw things at the Police should be stopped cause this can be a reason for the police to start heavy shit. a Peaceful Crowd which demands justice will get much more Solidarity then an angry crowd throwing stuff.
You keep aiming your camera at the cops and not the people throwing piss bottles... shows whos side you are slanted for.
I would assume an angry mob started this, what's your guess Mr journalist?
