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.

Maybe you should have backed up . I don’t understand why your moving towards them with a phone in your hand . If they tell you to back up just back up instead of rushing forward. Take responsibility .

Throw your voice, not bottles. Vote in every election. Throwing bottles just gets you arrested. That doesn’t help.

They are throwing bottles! Police didn’t escalate this. They protestors did.

So let me get this straight. You think the police should just take these folks throwing things at them. You do realize that is assault. I would further add your press badge does not give you access to everything. Especially when a violent situation is going on grow up.

Quit blaming the cops! This all started because the morons said the guy was unarmed. He had a gun! If i were the cops i would stay out of those dangerous scum neighborhoods! They make thugs the victims and cops the bad guys!
