Civilians in Chicago are taking matters into their own hands, tailing officers, guarding Home Depots, and patrolling their neighborhoods.
A recent incident in the East Side of Chicago, a working-class Latino and Black community, sparked a protest. A car chase ended in the neighborhood, with federal agents pursuing a car allegedly driven by an undocumented immigrant.
According to eyewitnesses, the car was intentionally rammed, and as agents pursued the occupants on foot, residents came out to check on the commotion.
A tear-gas canister, a smoke-grenade can, and a pepper-ball projectile round were found on the street.
