Chicago mayor: People who have ‘come for a fight’ have ’embedded themselves’ in peaceful protests | TheHill

“What happened yesterday was really over very quickly, because our police department has resolved to make sure that we protect peaceful protests but we are absolutely not going to tolerate people who come to these protests looking for a fight and are intending to injure our police officers and injure innocent people who have just come to express their First Amendment rights,” she added.

Lightfoot contrasted the unrest with a wave of looting the previous weekend, affirming her description of the earlier incident as a “planned attack.”

She said city officials are “working with our federal partners to identify, exactly who the ringleaders are … we are determined to make sure that we get to the bottom of this and bring those who are responsible for these organized crime effort to justice.”
