Hey, uh... some stuff has come up. I don't know if you're okay with me talking? Understandable if not. I'm just reaching to a few people given the circumstances.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.
