Chicago Battlefields: The Cost of the War Economy

On September 30th, hundreds of men in tactical military gear raided an apartment building in Chicago's South Shore.

Residents were awoken by flashbangs and masked men with guns, and were subsequently zip-tied and separated by race.

Over 30 people, including children, were taken away.
The rest of the residents were released after hours, returning to destroyed homes.
Damage included smashed windows, overturned mattresses, and discarded children's belongings.

Children awoke to the flashbangs and commotion, and were thrown outside with their parents.
