Chicago Police Revise Mass Arrests Policy Before DNC

Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling announced that the police department is fully prepared for the Democratic National Convention, with new de-escalation and specialized training for officers to handle potential mass arrests and civil unrest. Despite denied permits for protests near the convention site, over 50 organizations plan to demonstrate. The department aims to avoid mass arrests but is ready for possible violence and vandalism. The city's police have faced scrutiny for past event handling but are making progress according to recent reports.
