A flash mob descended on high end retailers around midnight in Chicago. Hundreds of stores were looted, with at least 1,000 participants engaging in the thievery. Cops were assaulted, innocent bystanders were robbed, cars were held at gunpoint and, since this is Chicago, multiple people were shot.
We’ve packed a lot of videos into this post and will continue updating it throughout the day.
One man didn’t make off like the bandit he had hoped to become, crying on Facebook Live about how his leg was broken by a swift baton strike from a law enforcement officer:

This is the aftermath of the officer being bashed in the face by someone throwing a case at close range. You can see his face all bloodied up. Crowd cheers, cops chase, more items thrown at police. It’s a mob mentality out there. #Chicago #ChicagoRiots #ChicagoScanner pic.twitter.com/TqmgLMBJfN
