This is why we riot

There is no video evidence that he instigated anyone in an environment where everyone was filming with phones. Most likely he was a fully licensed security guard coordinating with police or that he was with another law enforcement agency coordinating with police (possibly while being paid as a private security guard).

All we need to see is some more details, preferably from reputable local news sources instead of some obscure news feed with an agenda. Until then it's all speculation, more than likely completely out of context and quite possibly total bullshit.

But did it happen?

he was a private security person hired walking through the streets and was politely approached by the police during protests....

wow.... i thought cops were on edge due to riots when they pepper sprayed unarmed people standing in the street?


Illinois is one of five states in the U.S. - along with California, Florida, New York, and South Carolina, plus the District of Colombia - that do not allow open carry.

Supposedly if he is a licensed securty guard he is allowed to open carry but the Police knew this? They were s polite when they stopped him and questioned him...not like they should be afraid of an armed white guy walking down the street. Who was he securing?

A white man in Chicago armed with a customised AR-15 and decked out in tactical gear showed up to a protest on Sunday and was peacefully turned away by police, despite flagrantly breaking the state's open carry law.

Illinois law prohibits the open carrying of a firearm. Despite the man in the video having two visibly displayed weapons, the police do nothing to stop him.

How should they have responded? Should they have shot him on sight?

If he was truly private security, then he had coordinated with the cops already. They were aware of his presence long before they encountered him. That's how it works. They'll get a call over comms that states "licensed contractor in vicinity with firearm in the open."

Then when they see him they go "oh, there he is." Unless he is doing something illegal, they won't do anything about him.
