Dozens arrested after pro-Palestinian, anti-DNC protesters clash with CPD
Dozens of people were arrested after clashing with police at an un-permitted protest outside the Israeli Consulate Tuesday night.
The National Lawyers Guild Chicago said at least 72 people were arrested during that protest, while Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said 56 people, including three journalists, were arrested, after refusing to follow multiple dispersal orders.
Thirty were cited for disorderly conduct – breach of peace, 13 were cited for disorderly conduct – failing to obey a lawful order to disperse, one person was cited for disorderly conduct – failing to obey police and three were cited for resisting police, Chicago police said.
Nine others were charged with misdemeanors.
Twenty two of those arrested are from out of town. Many are from the west coast, according to CPD.
They were brought to Area 3 headquarters, where police have slowly been releasing those arrested one by one Wednesday.
As of Wednesday afternoon, 13 had faced a judge.
