"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"

Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

It comes as no surprise to anyone here in Chicago that the federal agents unleashed here are completely unfit. We've seen it all: agents wildly waving guns, beating people to a pulp, racing through residential streets at high speeds, throwing chemical weapons.
