Policing the DNC, Sky's Unfair Coverage, and Free Metra Rides

Earlier this week law enforcement officials including Chicago Police Department Superintendent Larry Snelling assured Chicagoans that CPD is prepared for the DNC. However, Inspector General Deborah Witzburg pushed back, explaining, “persistent concerns remain about whether Chicago police officers are prepared to lawfully police the massive protests.” Joining us to break down the latest updates are Chicago Reader news editor Shawn Mulcahy and Tribune sportswriter Shakeia Taylor. Plus, we discuss how Sky players are navigating increasingly toxic media coverage, a mango warehouse in Romeoville, and free Metra rides this weekend.
