Mass looting and rioting broke out in Chicago on Sunday night after a reportedly armed black suspect in his "late teens or early 20s" was wounded in a shootout with police in Englewood.

Any excuse to loot will do.

How does this fit with the media's narrative that black people are "terrified" that police will shoot them at any moment for any reason without the slightest provocation?

Do any of these folks look "terrified" that police are going to shoot them at any moment just for the "crime" of "being black"?

UPDATE II:

This is allegedly the 20-year-old male who shot at police in Englewood and was wounded when police returned fire. His first name is Latrell and he goes by "Trello Gbg" on Facebook. Relatives on Facebook are saying he was the one who got shot. @BILLYONAIR22 first got the scoop. pic.twitter.com/xk2chcMPAz

Notice he appears to be brandishing the exact same firearm (Smith & Wesson Sigma) as the one recovered by Chicago police. https://t.co/W4KKgFROdR pic.twitter.com/IcHf5U7Uv9
