>>> TONIGHT CHICAGO IS TAKING STEPS TO PREVENT THE KIND OF
VIOLENCE THAT WE SAW LAST
WEEKEND.
AND TO HOPEFULLY AVOID ANOTHER
TEENAGE TAKE OVER.
THEY HAVE ADDED SECURITY,
BARRICADES AND BACK CHECKS.
WE WERE IN THE PARK THIS EVENING.
>> Reporter: CHICAGO POLICE ARE
DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS SAFE AND
THAT EVERYTHING IS UNDER
CONTROL.
IT HAS BEEN A CALM, QUIET AND PEACEFUL NIGHT.
SO FAR, NO DISRUPTIONS.
A HEAVY POLICE PRESENCE TONIGHT
IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO. OFFICERS COULD BE SEEN ON
NEARLY EVERY STREET CORNER NEAR
MILLENNIUM PARK.
THE DEPARTMENT TRYING TO AVOID
A REPEAT OF LAST WEEKEND.
>> I THINK IT IS SAD FOR THE
CITY OF CHICAGO.
I THINK THE CITY IS A BEAUTIFUL
CITY WITH BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.
IT IS BAD THAT A CITY OF THIS
SIZE IS GETTING A BAD NAME FROM A COUPLE THINGS THAT HAPPEN.
>> Reporter: BARRICADES WENT UP
AROUND MILLENNIUM PARK IN
ANTICIPATION OF ANOTHER
GATHERING. SECURITY MEASURES WERE ALSO IN
PLACE AT THE PARK WITH
VISITORS GETTING SCREENED
BEFORE ENTERING. >> I FEEL BAD FOR THE CITY AS A
WHOLE, THAT IT HAS TURNED INTO
A NATIONAL STORY OF THE VIOLENCE.
>> Reporter: MOBS OF TEENS
JUMPED ON CARS AND BUSES,
SHUTTERED WINDOWS, AND EVEN
ATTACKED AND ROBBED A YOUNG COUPLE AS SEEN IN THIS VIDEO.
>> I THINK IF STUFF LIKE THIS
CONTINUES TO HAPPEN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO STAY AWAY.
>> Reporter: NBC 5 FOUND THAT
POLICE MADE STRATEGIC CHANGES,
ADDING FOUR COMMAND STAFF AND
UNDERCOVER RESOURCES.
>> WE WERE REALLY CONFUSED WALKING DOWN HERE.
WE WERE LIKE, IS SOMETHING
ABOUT TO HAPPEN? AFTER WATCHING THE NEWS AND
SEEING THE ADVERTISEMENTS, I
ASSUME THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON.
>> Reporter: POLICE ARE WORKING
WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS TRYING TO
CONNECT WITH TEENS, LETTING THEM KNOW THAT RESOURCES ARE
AVAILABLE AND THAT WHAT
HAPPENED LAST WEEKEND WILL NOT
BE TOLERATED.
>> I’M KIND OF CONFUSED.
IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE THERE IS
A REASON WHY THEY ARE DOING
WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
THEY ARE DOING IT TO DO IT.
VERY SCARY.
I AM AFRAID. BUT I THINK THAT WE ARE OKAY.
>> Reporter: NOW A GROUP OF
PASTORS WILL MARCH ALONG
MICHIGAN AVENUE TOMORROW AT 6:00 P.M.
THEY’RE ASKING 500 BLACK MEN IN
THE COMMUNITY TO JOIN THEM ON
