18-Year-Old Activist Had Teeth Knocked Out By Police

GRANT PARK — An 18-year-old activist who had just spoken to a crowd protesting at the Christopher Columbus statue in Grant Park had several front teeth knocked out by a Chicago Police officer Friday evening, according to video and multiple elected officials.
An outraged Alderman, Jeanette Taylor (20th Ward) said Miracle Boyd, 18, of the group GoodKids MadCity was assaulted by a police officer during the tense Friday night protest where police pepper-sprayed protesters trying to tear down a towering, nearly 90-year-old statue of Columbus.
Taylor, who knows Boyd, said the rising young activist was injured by police. Boyd was filming the encounter, in which she argued with officers away from the Columbus statue. At the end of her recording, her phone appears to be knocked away. A second video, posted to Twitter from someone filming across the street, shows an officer wearing shorts and a bike helmet swinging his left hand at her. She flees after he swings.

I guess it's only okay if police are injured during a protest

“You beat people up over a statue? You rough them up over a statue?
Yes, it's against the law and the police told them to stop. Sounds like a dummy lost some teeth.

That's all true but wait and watch and see who becomes the real victim. I don't understand why they want to tear down statues especially of Columbus. She deserved more than teeth knocked out she deserved some seance knocked into her

You aren't aware of any anti Columbus sentiment?

Why is this happening almost exclusively in D controlled cities?

Guess they need to teach their kids to not go join a mob r**ting and attacking police. My sympathies are with the police and those who pay taxes to have pleasant safe cities that these mobsters are destroying.

Had to edit this post after checking. There are a few cities with Republican Mayors that had r**ting. But they put a stop to it.
35 of the 50 largest cities in the US are run by Democrats.

Why does she have to be a s**t.

If it were a peaceful protest it was unnecessary. Especially if she wasn’t resisting arrest. I would love to see a video

Because of her actions.
Can be nothing else.

Well my definition of a s**t is promiscuous.
Moron would be more suitable.
But that’s just my opinion
