At least 37 people were wounded in shootings across Chicago this Memorial Day weekend. cbsnews.com/chicago/news/m…

Another police officer in Chicago was sprayed with a fire extinguisher while responding to a street takeover. The man who did it claimed it was the same officer who had arrested him in the past. I guess this was his way of getting back at the officer for arresting him.

Prosecutors have charged a man with trying to kill 5 CPD officers by ramming them with his car as they tried to disperse a street party on the Near West Side this weekend. cwbchicago.com/2026/05/driver…

The City Council just passed a Jim Crow-style “snap” curfew that targets Black youth. To our students: You matter. You are loved. This is your city. We stand with the Mayor vetoing this ordinance and stand with the young people who make Chicago great. Policing is not care. Segregation is not safety.

NEW: In the wake of this weekend's near-deadly teen takeover - 2nd Ward Ald. Brian Hopkins says City Council members are planning to draft an ordinance that would take a law already on the books - Sec 8-16-125 of Municipal Code - a misdemeanor offense called "Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor" - and apply it to parent's with teen's who are arrested in illegal teen gatherings.
