Next to the car, a man screamed and stripped off his shirt. A woman spoke to him in Spanish, telling him to let him put water on his head.
The man and the baby had both been tear gassed.

At the entrance to a Home Depot, a woman sat in the passenger seat of a car, bouncing an infant girl. The girl was silent. Her eyes were damp and bloodshot.

Hi. I’m from Chicago. This is NOT suburb. It’s the city. With city transportation (CTA), Chicago police and Chicago fire department, Chicago Public Library, Chicago Park District. Just because it borders the edge of the city boundary doesn’t make it less than.
