Chicago’s annual Cinco De Mayo parade was abruptly halted and canceled Sunday amid reports of gang-related violence near the route, according to Chicago police.
Police made the announcement Sunday afternoon shortly after the parade had been scheduled to get underway. Citing an “abundance of caution,” officials said that the parade was canceled following reports of large-scale fights in the area.
Gangs is code for too many colored people in one place.
I get the sentiment, but it’s Chicago my guy it’s pretty diverse here. If cops start shutting everything down because brown people exist nothing would get done here 😂
