The city’s Civil Police Responsibility Office also released third-party videos and other materials related to the incident.

Tensions rose in Chicago, with the Adam case, the police shooting of Don Wright on Sunday in a Minneapolis suburb, and the trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin over the death of George Floyd in May 2020.

“Chicago, like many parts of our country, has a long legacy of police violence and police misconduct that has left many residents, especially those black and brown, in a constant state of fear and pain,” Lightfoot said.

City officials asked people to remain calm while preparing for the demonstration after the video was posted and said that more police and equipment in the city will be available to protect companies during any unrest. Like some other American cities, Chicago was hit by riots and looting after Floyd’s death, which is also filmed.

The Toledo family said in a statement released to local media that they appreciate the support they have received from the community and are grateful that the protests in Chicago in the past few days have remained peaceful.

“We pray for our city that people remain in peace to honor Adam’s memory and work constructively to promote reform,” the family said.
