Black Lives Matter Shows Their True Colors at the Riot and Attack on Chicago Police at Columbus Statue in Grant Park

Yesterday while searching for information on the second round of Black Lives Matter riots and looting in Chicago, I came across a very interesting video put out by the Chicago Police Department about the riot that Black Lives Matter had back a few weeks ago in Chicago at the Columbus statue in Grant Park.

You can find it on YouTube under the title "Chicago police release video footage of protest at Columbus statue."  This video is over 30 minutes long, but the main action started about two minutes into it.  Fox News has a 6-minute video of the same thing showing the riot.

If you ever had any doubts about where BLM stands as far as guilt in the rioting and looting (no looting occurred here as it was mostly violence directed against the police) this video might help you make up your mind.

The police were surrounded.  The BLMers used regular military tactics and surrounded the police inside a concrete fence erected around the statue.  They threw frozen water bottles and fired fireworks at the police.  49 officers were injured with 18 requiring hospitalization.  Just 12 BLMers were arrested and there should have been a lot more.

Some of the rioters were upset that the police hurt them, especially that young girl who claimed one cop knocked out some of her teeth.  That meant she was on the front line of the rioters.  Hey, lady, you get in the middle of a riot, guess what?  You just might get hurt.

At the news conference following the video, one of the media people just wanted to know about the girl getting hurt.  He wasn't interested at all in what had happened to the police.  This is also a problem.  The media won't place the blame on BLM for these riots and looting.  Most of the time they won't even call it a riot, just a demonstration.

This Anarchy Needs to Stop.  The Police Need To Be Allowed to Make Arrests and If the Rioter Resists or Others Around Resist, Police Should be Allowed to Use Whatever Force Necessary Needed to Stop Them.  (I was watching the looting from Monday morning and the police just stood there watching it going on.)
