Chicago on Edge amid Violence, Protests, and Arrivals of Federal Agents

July 24, 2020, 12.04 AM

The shooting went on long enough for the gunmen and people attending the funeral who returned fire to leave at least 60 shell casings at the scene.

At a news conference, Brown implored witnesses to come forward with information about the attack, which police believed was carried out in retaliation for another shooting.

Observers suggested that the police department's reputation for brutality, misconduct and racism made Brown's plea a tough sell.

“You don't share stuff with people you don't trust,” Pfleger said.

That mistrust also plays into another activist's concern that no matter what federal agents do when they arrive in the city, it will not help and may aggravate the situation.

“Anytime you have police in a community that has no relationship to the community — with the business owners, with the youth — it makes the situation worse,” said Jahmal Cole, founder and executive director of a community organization on the South Side called My Block, My Hood, My City.
