A tense standoff unfolded outside the Israeli consulate in Chicago as dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters clashed with hundreds of police officers on the second night of the Democratic National Convention. The demonstrators, chanting “Let them go!”, faced off against officers who handcuffed at least four individuals and led them away from the scene. The situation escalated as officers armed with wooden clubs shouted “move” and corralled the protesters, preventing them from marching. Amid the chaos, some demonstrators set an American flag on fire in the street.
