Chicago Mayor Addresses Concerns Over Downtown Violence and Police Response.

Outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot demanded answers from police leaders about their response to a violent gathering of young people in the city's tourism district over the weekend. The incident has raised concerns about the Chicago Police Department's ability to handle crowds of teens and young adults. Large youth gatherings in the downtown area have remained a vexing problem for police officials for the last decade. It will now fall to Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson to attempt to quell the problem.
