The Democratic National Convention kicks off in Chicago on Monday, and the city has been bracing for violence and riots. Businesses started boarding up their windows and doors last week due to the many thousands of antisemitic, pro-Palestinian protesters expected to descend on the area organized by more than 200 different groups. Some are saying it could be reminiscent of the violence that plagued the 1968 DNC, which was also in Chicago.

Chicago law enforcement dismisses that idea.
“Chicago 2024 won’t be like Chicago 1968. That is the promise of law-enforcement officials and protest organizers alike as the curtain prepares to lift on this year’s Democratic National Convention,” the Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend. “Each side says it aims to maintain the peace even as thousands are expected to demonstrate against the war in Gaza, abortion restrictions and on other hotly contested issues.”
That may just be wishful thinking. According to some reports on social media, more than 1,000 officers are calling in sick.
A few more CPD hit medical today. The number now on the list exceeds 1,000 officers.
New to the list is Cmdr. Yakimba Phillips, who is the boss in CPD’s 2nd District.
We’re told Cmdr. Phillips is claiming “PTSD.”

The intelligence gathered so far is solid is good enough that over a 1,000 Chicago PD officers have already called off sick. https://t.co/gIvmlJ09zU
