WATCH: Chicago Police Release Wild Video Of Looters Ransacking Store On City’s West Side

Chicago police, in an effort to catch looters and rioters who escaped justice back in May (and, in some cases, again in August) have released a surveillance video showing a group of individuals ransacking a store on the city’s west side.

The video, which was shot over the course of 25 minutes, shows a group of looters crowding into what appears to be a retail store for cell phone equipment, jostling shoulder to shoulder to pull merchandise off the shelves, break display cases, and abscond with thousands of dollars in communications equipment.

The store was looted back in May, in an initial round of riots that targeted stores in the city’s downtown and on the city’s south and west sides. Those incidents, which closely followed protests demanding justice for George Floyd, a black man who died while in the custody of the Minneapolis Police Department, went on for nearly a week before Chicago police — and several roving bands of private citizens — were able to get the unrest under control.
