Bursts of chaos hit downtown Chicago as hundreds of students and about 200 officers traveled through the bustling streets Wednesday night.
As large groups of young people, many of them high school students, moved through the Loop and the Near North Side, breaking out in numerous fights, “probably upwards of 30” people were arrested, said Chief of Patrol Fred Waller, speaking at the corner of State and Lake streets after 9 p.m. Detailed information about those arrested was not released.
“The challenge is to keep the public safety,” Waller said.
Waller said there were probably about 500 teens traveling through the city. Shortly after 9 p.m., police lined the middle of State Street outside of the Chicago Theatre.
“When they run like that, someone starts a fight,” Waller said.
Police strategy was a lot of tolerance, talking to the kids and moving the crowd along to public transportation, Waller said.
“And people who were completely disobeying the law, they had to be arrested,” he said.
Arrests were made for charges including disobeying orders to disperse and trespassing, Waller said. There were no reported injuries aside from bruises and bumps, he said.
Waller spoke about socioeconomic challenges facing Chicago and finding other modes of entertainment for the teens. He praised the officers’ response: “They’re so tolerant of these kids who are just so disrespectful, cursing at them, saying the things that they say.
“We’ve faced this challenge for the past few years coming up with different strategies and trying to do some intervention,” Waller said.
