Black Friday on Michigan Avenue

Black Friday on Michigan Avenue

Protesters took to the streets this morning to protest the shooting death of Laquan McDonald at the hands of former Chicago Police Officer, Jason Van Dyke. While I don't usually make such appearances, I did today because I wanted to see what this meant to Black Friday. I read a lot of the signs folks carried. The most memorable sign was carried by a little girl with her parents; it read "Make Better Choices". The protest was largely peaceful as news reports just three arrests. It's a sad event for all involved in Chicago. May the spirit of the season serve to heal those most affected.
