This poor man died while wrangling kids that didn’t want to leave the theater. He was holding them for CPD and collapsed. CFD could not bring him back. May he rest in peace.
There is a teen trend planned tonight at 150 W Roosevelt and surrounding areas. CPD units will be standing by for the mayhem that ensues.

001: 1329 S Michigan. A goofy left his car running. They jumped in to take it & cranked the steering wheel. The car jumped the curb, hit another car & a building. They may have hit a gas meter. Michigan is being closed to the north and south now.

The city has a contact with the body removal service that has requirements for pickups in a certain amount of time. There is probably a scorecard for metrics like this that then may impact payment. So pickup on time or get dinged is the short answer.
A social media meet up/trend is scheduled for 150 W Roosevelt at 9 pm tonight. The yutes have been gathering all afternoon. They are already partying on the back plaza 🌿🍺

There are about 300 dachshunds here to race for the annual Dachshund Derby. They run 10 dogs per heat so it’s going to take a minute to get through them all. They just finished seniors and started adult dogs. 🌭🏎️
South Loop Alert: there is a teen trend planned for Roosevelt Road this evening. There is also a P!NK concert at Soldier Field. Please be prepared for mayhem and chaos in 001.

I remember that BS. My mom made this horrible tomato aspic salad. It was stewed tomatoes and other veggies in lemon jello. She poured it back into the tomato can to mold it.
@SPOTNEWSonIG
I was just at Mariano’s and a group stole more than $100 in food from the hot bar. Silly me. I paid $260 for my groceries. I should have just walked out.

Remember when the dispatcher got mad at the sergeant for calling to ask for the “body snatchers”? Well, this family may just be body snatchers. Wow, and no thanks.
@heyFATabbot
I’ve lived her long enough and followed the scanner tweets long enough to know this was not a stunt. They were taking his car, and he was trying to stop them. Chicago problems for sure.

If someone has cancer and has surgery, the exposure to the air during surgery makes it spread. I just had to convince my friend’s mom this wasn’t true. She was refusing surgery for the tumor in her lung. 😱
@CWBChicago
About half the kids I saw were dropped off by cars. Several parents weee angry that their children could not stay on private property without an adult escort. The parents are complicit.
900 S Wells an alleged battery offender fled on a jet ski. Marine units were requested, but they diverted to a drowning incident at Montrose.

1st District Alert: there is a teen trend planned for this evening at Roosevelt and Canal. CPD and impacted businesses are already staging resources.

Delano Ct - a dirt bike and quad stopped on the sidewalk. CPD approached and the dirt bike rider ran and hopped on the quad and they fled. The bike is being towed.

Federal charges this time so good luck. They are likely to add a charge for each officer at some point. The Feds stack sentences and usually don’t allow them to be served concurrently. So 3 20-year sentences would give him 60.
Uuuuh, Houston, we have a problem. Someone put a patio chair in the gas fireplace on the plaza. CFD is on scene. I thought I smelled something burning prior to their arrival.

Update: 1 had a gun, they ran from H&M past security, ran thru XPot out the kitchen & service entrance to the sidewalk on Roosevelt, tried to hop a CTA bus, jumped off the Roosevelt Bridge onto a garage on Plymouth Ct, ran, got stopped & detained then arrested.
@SPOTNEWSonIG
I was on the bricks by the coffee shop with my dogs. I heard 3 loud pops, another 3 then at least 1 more. I told the security guard it was gunshots and called 911. I heard an officer give the all clear and say it was safe.
#ChicagoScanner
5th night of the start of a trend at 150 W Roosevelt. 40+ yutes throwing smoke bombs and harassing people. A tactical unit just showed up.
#ChicagoScanner
001: CPD arriving at 10xx S Delano Ct. H&M had an incident and the kids from the theater are wilding. They were throwing fireworks at cars that were parking earlier.

I lost my Jackson just before you lost yours. It’s heartbreaking. I’m very thankful I was able to let him pass with dignity. He was ready, but I wasn’t. I’m sorry for your loss. 💔
@SPOTNEWSonIG
This reminded me of when I took my nephews to the circus. They were about 4 & 6 years old. I told them to hold my hand, hold my purse, or hold my pocket because I was not going to call my sister to tell her I lost them in a crowd at Ringling Brothers. They held on for dear life.
@SPOTNEWSonIG
2 patrol cars and 1 tactical unit came in while I was down there. They are moving about 100 kids off property. There is a trend scheduled for here.

Economist and all around geek here. Local nameless leaders need to recognize that the structure of the downtown area changed during the pandemic. Office workers and tourists left a vacuuming a hole that’s being filled by other groups in many different ways.
100+ bikes inbound on Roosevelt from Delano Ct doing biker things like wheelies, running red lights and riding on the sidewalk. Nothing further.
