Outnumbered officers were on the ground as rioters attacked, throwing objects and punching them.

One officer was on the ground when agitators ripped off his bulletproof vest. A female officer was dragged several feet.

Some protesters attempted to calm the chaotic situation.

Aerial video showed an all-out brawl in the middle of an intersection.

Rioters, many dressed in black, shoved a security barrier under the truck as others pounded on it. One person smashed the lights with a crowbar. Some threw objects.

The side was spraypainted to read, “Chicago Lies.”
