After three people were shot and three others stabbed in separate incidents following the Chicago Pride Parade, city officials offered glowing reviews of the police performance.
'Kim Foxx says let them go!'
At 1:27 a.m. last Monday, dozens of shots were fired on a parking lot where a crowd of people was hanging out near the intersection of Clark, Barry, and Halsted streets. Two men and a woman were shot.
Hundreds of Chicago police officers were in the area to handle the large crowds and seemingly inevitable violence that descends on the area around Boystown after recent Pride Parades.
'Inconsistent Statements'
CPD emailed media outlets last Tuesday evening to inform them that Lakendra Porter, 24, had been charged with three felony counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon for allegedly stabbing three people in the 1000 block of West Belmont hours after the Pride Parade had ended.
Nearly two days after she was arrested, Porter walked out of custody on a recognizance bond that was issued at the police station, according to CPD records.
Police were left to file misdemeanor charges, which do not require approval from the state's attorney's office.
