I live in Chicago. It's going to be nuts. Understaffed cops, poor planning by the police; I think they are underestimating the will of some of these anarchists to fuck stuff up.

I'm more interrested by what the heads of states meeting there will discuss, the usual black block is mere distractions,
toronto was a good exemple, I can't remember anyone from msm ever mentioning the issues discussed, 90% of the reports where on the black block

I'll post stuff as I find if. The local, anonymously run police blog www.secondcitycop.blogspot.com is going to be a good source of info on how messed up this weekend is going to get.
I work in the loop and the summit meetings are a couple miles south. The actual days are Sunday and Monday.

Police are also for the most part being commanded to go with "soft look" uniforms. No riot gear, helmets, etc because that intimidates protestors and makes them think the cops WANT to fight them.

Here are some good things to follow for the weekend. I am working downtown today and tomorrow, pretty central in the Loop. There's a big protest across the street this afternoon by Nurses, but possible that lots of people will show up for their own reasons.

Kind of interesting to see the overlay of closed circuit cameras.
