VIDEO: 3-4 Chicago Officers Hurt After 'Protesters' Attack Following Shooting

Protesters turned violent Saturday night following a fatal officer-involved shooting.

Chicago, IL - Protesters in Chicago started attacking police officers following a fatal officer-involved shooting earlier Saturday evening (videos below.)

The incident happened in the area of 71st St and Chappel Ave at around 5:30 p.m.

Chicago PD Chief of Patrol Fred Waller said that officers were working foot patrol when they spotted a man who looked like he may have a weapon in his waistband.

The officers confronted the suspect, who then became combative. As the suspect fought with officers, he flailed away from them.

The suspect then appeared to be reaching for his weapon, and officers fatally shot him.

Officers recovered a semi-automatic firearm and magazines from the suspect.

Chief Waller added that the suspect did not have a concealed carry permit.

The suspect and officers have not been identified at this time.

Almost immediately following the shooting, a large crowd of protesters formed and started threatening to shoot the police.

The crowd spread the story about how a barber named "Snoop" was unarmed and shot in the back as he was walking home from work.

The crowd also created a second narrative where people claimed that Snoop was armed, but they said he had a concealed carry permit.

The crowd started jumping on police cars and clashing with officers.

Many in the crowd threatened police officers, saying that they better not be around come nighttime.

At around sunset, people in the crowd started to throw glass bottles, rocks, and bottles of urine at officers. Chief Waller said three to four officers were injured in the attacks.

Officers responded by ordering the protesters back and taking down troublemakers and people who refused to listen.

The reason the story changes immediately is because most of these idiots have been brainwashed their whole lives into believing anything that happens to them, by the police, is because they are black, not because they committed a crime. Way back in the early 80's most of the folks I dealt with in Oakland thought the crime was getting caught not the actual crime they committed. They blamed the police back then, but there was some actual acknowledgement of their own actions. This has been getting worse over the decades, mostly because of the press and the left wing asswipe politicians not holding all groups to the same standard. The last administration put it front and center and caused this problem to escalate faster and further. I actually laughed when the "reporter" got his phone knocked out if his hand.

Chicago PD in a no win situation. Caught between an ultra-liberal do-nothing mayor and a violent and well armed black community, there are no options but to let the thugs run wild and kill each other!

The Chicago PD doesn't need to be overhauled. They're not the ones putting guns in the hands of criminals who then shoot and kill indiscriminately. What we need is for minorities to take responsibility for their neighborhoods. The real problem, as most experts will tell you, is that blacks have almost no real family structure. But, as usual, people want to blame law enforcement for black children growing up in single family homes which creates an environment where these kids look to the streets for guidance. Look a little closer to home, but be careful, you might not like what you see.

The whole Chicago police department needs an overhaul, starting from the top. They have been ineffective for decades, and it's clear they have no idea what they are doing. Like many other cities as well.

Question: Is it possible to allow Chicago to secede from America?

Just remove ALL law enforcement from Obamaland! Let Eric Holder and the new black panthers control crime in that Hellhole!!!

It's getting even worse it seems, when an ARMED and COMBATIVE person is killed but people are STILL blaming the cops without any evidence whatsoever. It's gotten so that the cops are treated with a "guilty never to be proven innocent" ruling within mere hours of an event. I pray for the safety of the CPD officers and the community members who actually want to live peacefully. The scariest part to me is that with a crowd that size the lies, rumors, conjecture moves like wildfire and is just as dangerous.
