It was a dramatic scene as hundreds of people gathered to watch with screeching tires and donuts in the middle of a West Loop intersection.
Even after a rain, skid marks were still visible in the entire intersection at Monro and South Clinton. Video from the Citizen App captured the incident. Neighbors say the even lasted hours with people stnading around cars as they drove donuts around and around and cars blocked off the intersection to traffic.
The video later shows police responding, sounding their sirens and trying to get through. But when they eventually did -- fireworks went off. A 17-year-old was arrested in the 500 block of West Taylor about an hour later for throwing the fireworks and striking an officer. "It's not surprising at all," said one neighbor who watched from his window."It's, you know, exactly what I'd expect in that, the cops have their hands tied. THey're so understaffed, and it's clearly a problem from the top down that just doesn't get addressed."
