Protesters Block Downtown Chicago Streets and Call on Mayor Rahm Emanuel to Resign
"As controversy swirls over high-profile police killings in the city, hundreds of protesters blocked streets in downtown Chicago and tried to storm two business buildings on Wednesday afternoon as part of a citywide walkout to demand that Mayor Rahm Emanuel resign.
Hours earlier, during a special City Council meeting that he'd called, Emanuel publicly apologized for the 2014 police-involved shooting death of Laquan McDonald, a 17-year-old black city resident, and pledged to fix Chicago's broken police practices. The mayor also criticized the police department for being quick to fire weapons.
Demonstrators chanted "16 shots and a cover-up!" and "Rahm, resign!" as they marched through the city's financial district on Wednesday. One protester held a sign that said, "All I want for Xmas is for Rahm to resign." Another said, “Fire Rahm!” They are also seeking the resignation of Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez."
