Chicago Businesses Begin Boarding Up Windows in Expectation of Riots
15 Apr 2021
Businesses across Chicago boarded up windows on Thursday in anticipation of rioting and looting. The move comes as Chicago police officials released a bodycam video showing the shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo in March.
Twitter posts from all across Chicago show businesses boarding up their windows. The businesses appear to be preparing for additional rioting and looting after the release of the bodycam video.
The video appears to show Toledo holding a pistol in his hand less than a second before the officer shot him fatally in the chest. Police found the pistol a few feet away, behind the fence.
