Most protesters in Chicago seem to have heeded pleas for restraint in the hours after the release of a video showing the shooting death of a black teenager by a white police officer.
Demonstrators took to the streets on Tuesday night, at times numbering in the hundreds, and there were a few tense moments and at least two arrests, but the demonstrations dissipated in the early morning without any reports of damage or injuries.
Protest groups are expected to stage more demonstrations in the days ahead, including one at City Hall on Wednesday and another seeking to block Michigan Avenue during the Black Friday shopping bonanza.
The protests came after the release of the dashcam video of the death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, who was shot 16 times. Jason Van Dyke, a Chicago police officer, was charged with murder on Tuesday.
