Almost 50 Chicago cops were injured last week during statue protest - as 'criminal agitators' launched fireworks at them and threw bottles

Protesters aimed fireworks at cops to push them away from a statue of Christopher Columbus in Chicago on Friday night

Police say 49 officers were injured by 'criminal agitators'

Chicago Police Superintendent David O. Brown called the demonstration 'mob action' that 'deliberately sought to injure officers'

There were a dozen arrests made in the otherwise peaceful protest

Cops returned in greater numbers and used teargas as they charged protesters
Videos show angry clashes as the demonstration was herded out

When you think about it, the question about the protests is: what took them so long?

What do wages have to do with the rioting, burning, statues, etc.?

Ray you have to start editing quotations correctly, as the "quote" and "/quote" bits work in pairs.

To your question....when a working man sees himself slowly slipping, falling behind as costs rise and wages don't, at some point he decides the system has broken faith with him, so he'll return the favor. As simple as that. Whether or not you agree with them, it's their right as citizens to conclude the system has failed them.
