Laquan McDonald/BlackLivesMatter Protesters Destroy Chicago Christmas Tree, Threaten Black Friday Shutdown

Chicago was subjected to a second night of protests after the release of police dashcam video depicting the 2014 shooting of an African American teen, with protesters fanning out beyond the planned protests and even destroying Christmas tree decorations while yelling “black lives matter” and “F*ck your Christmas tree!” Protesters are also threatening to shut down Black Friday shopping downtown.
