Chicago Shootings and Looting: PD describes social media posts encouraged looting.

Story developing.
I feel this would be a candidate for planned disruption by Trump's team to create reasons to bring in stormtroopers.
Not just the organization of looting teams, but the violence that provokes the public response, usually to some police action.
Would Trump's people send in shooters to cities he detests to make trouble? Hell yes he would.

"Late Sunday, 400 officers were sent downtown after learning about planned looting via social media, according to Brown, who said “car caravans” arrived on the Mag Mile. More than 100 people were arrested.

“This was an act of violence against our police officers and against our city,” according to Brown, who said nine Chicago police officers have been shot it at in the past seven days.

Along the Magnificent Mile, people were seen going in and out of stores carrying shopping bags full of merchandise as well as at a bank, the Chicago Tribune reported, and as the crowd grew vehicles dropped off more people in the area. On streets throughout the downtown area, empty cash drawers from stores were strewn about and ATMs were ripped open."

1. Yep. And feds are already here to supposedly combat gangs

They should be monitoring for this. It was highly planned and organized, just waiting for the best opportunity. Between social media and some arrests I hope they can pin down who plans and organizes these caravan lootings. Bring them to justice.

These are not protesters. These are not Chicagoans that take pride in their city and have come out to help clean up the mess. This is organized crime.

2. Too many people to all be planted.

Unfortunately people will take advantage of chaos. This type of activity is going to get Trump re-elected , if it continues. Most people won't see thge underlying factors and just want order restored.

4. The 30 responding to the shooting are not the same as the caravans of looters.

Even local Chicago media was noting similarities between these looters and those after the Floyd protests. Not protesters. Organized groups with vans.

These looters are NOT the same as protesters and Trump has already sent Feds here to work on gang violence. Those Feds should be looking out for stuff like this. Perhaps they already have leads to who organizes and plans these lootings.

5. Correct. It's a huge distinction: Disruptors create the chaos.

That some participants fall into the trap from the neighborhoods is expected human behavior.

Funny how nobody stops the looting rich white insider traders engage in when they get illegal tips.

But I digress.

3. Russia is doing this. They did this in 2016 in Pennsylvania. Used social media to get black teens

To attack people in malls. Social media postings came out of nowhere. “Chicago” is Trump’s racist dog whistle lighting rod. They would love nothing more than riots and looting in the streets of Chicago.

7. Russia needs a Trump win, this makes perfect sense.

I wouldn't be surprised if paid agents are posing as faux Antifa in Portland and elsewhere.

The faces that turn up as arsonists, etc., don't look quite right.

8. Yes. Just a guess on my part, but a Flash Mob sparked by Putin operatives.

There is a history of Russia doing this type of thing.
