More than 100 people were arrested for looting and disorderly conduct in Chicago late on Aug. 9 and early on Aug. 10 after looting in the city's Magnificent Mile and other shopping districts. Mayor Lori Lightfoot said that transportation in and out of the downtown loop will be restricted from 8PM to 6AM and that “these measures will be in place until we know our city will be safe.”
The city will use more than 100 “infrastructure assets” that are to be strategically placed to protect commercial corridors and critical businesses “such as grocery stores and pharmacies,” said the statement from Mary May, a spokeswoman for the emergency management and communication office.
