CHICAGO, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Protesters shut down parts of Chicago's luxury shopping district Friday and demanded a federal investigation into the police shooting death of teen Laquan McDonald, alleging a wide-ranging coverup that spans a year-long investigation.
Protesters, led by the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush and other black leaders, halted traffic along Chicago's famous Magnificent Mile on Black Friday, demanding the city's top leaders resign. Police kept their distance from the protesters and blocked traffic from entering Michigan Avenue.
