The march on Thursday, passing by Park 578, was further away from the United Center, the stadium hosting the DNC, than in previous marches. A large group of riot cops positioned themselves between the marchers and the DNC.

Detroit, MI
White Sox 2nd fastest in MLB to lose 100 games

CHICAGO — Andy Ibanez homered and had three RBIs as the Detroit Tigers sent the Chicago White Sox to their 100th loss with a 9-4 victory on Sunday.
Andrew Vaughn doubled, homered and had two RBIs for the White Sox (31-100), who need to go 12-19 to avoid tying the 1962 New York Mets, who were 40-120-1, for the modern major league record for most losses in a season. Chicago will fall short of the all-time record held by the Cleveland Spiders, who finished 20-134 in 1899.
In MLB history, only the 1916 Philadelphia A’s, who were 29-100-1, reached 100 losses in fewer games than the White Sox.
“We have been talking about it all year. It’s beating a dead horse at this point. We are not where we want to be,” White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi said. “[Interim manager Grady Sizemore] said it best: ‘Unless you win the last game of the year, it doesn’t matter.’ So, I think everyone has moved on.”
Colt Keith had three hits and three RBIs for the Tigers (65-66), who have won four of five. The two teams will conclude their four-game series Monday.
Chicago has lost 100 or more games six times in franchise history and in consecutive seasons for the first time. They went 61-101 last season under manager Pedro Grifol, who was fired Aug. 8. Chicago is 3-11 under Sizemore.
“We know where we are at,” Benintendi said. “We know it’s not good.”
The White Sox dropped a club-worst 106 games in 1970. Their worst winning percentage is .325, when they went 49-102-1 in 1932.
Bryan Sammons (1-1) allowed a run and three hits in 4⅓ innings for Detroit to earn the victory.
“It wasn’t the most efficient day on the mound,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. “But offensively, we did a lot of really positive things.”
Starter Jonathan Cannon (2-8) gave up five runs and eight hits in four innings for the White Sox.
“Obviously, no one wants to lose 100 games, especially with still a month to go,” Cannon said. “But we’re going to keep coming here every day, getting our work in and keep just going out there and trying to win some ball games.”
Benintendi and Vaughn hit back-to-back doubles off opener Beau Brieske to put the White Sox ahead 2-0 in the first.
Detroit’s Kerry Carpenter doubled, reached third on center fielder Dominic Fletcher’s fielding error and scored on Keith’s single to cut the lead to 2-1 in the third. Chicago had four errors.
Vaughn hit his 15th homer, a solo shot, off Sammons in the third to increase Chicago’s lead to 3-1.
Zach McKinstry singled, stole second and scored on Parker Meadows’ triple to make it 3-2 in the fourth.
The Tigers scored three runs in the fifth to take a 5-3 lead. Carpenter, Keith and Jace Jung hit consecutive singles to tie it before pinch hitter Ibanez grounded into a fielder’s choice and Trey Sweeney singled to bring in the other runs.
“In every inning, you give yourself a puncher’s chance when you are creating opportunities for yourselves,” Hinch said. “That’s what you have to hang your hats on, and just keep grinding.”
Ibanez hit a two-run homer off Enyel De Los Santos in the seventh and Keith added a two-run double in the eighth.
“Everyone in that locker room is aware of the record and how frustrating it is, absolutely,” Sizemore said.

Minneapolis neighbors tried to clear homeless encampment: police report

MPLS neighbors fed up with homeless encampment
Minneapolis residents are voicing their concerns over a homeless encampment tied to drug sales and a fatal shooting.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Some neighbors told authorities they were trying to clear a homeless encampment themselves after Minneapolis police responded to two incidents at the camp.

What we know
Minneapolis police say they responded to two incidents at the homeless encampment at 4th Avenue South and 31st Street East on Friday night.
The first incident happened around 7:30 p.m. Officers responded to a report of a disturbance where someone outside the encampment reported a fight happening inside the encampment involving three to five people.
When officers arrived, they found multiple people who were not involved with the encampment, outside its fence, police said.
Authorities say officers did not find anyone fighting. They also got a report of someone who was unconscious inside the camp – but police said they were unable to locate that person.
The second incident happened about two hours later, around 9:45 p.m. Officers responded to reports of an injured woman.
Police say some people in the neighborhood stated “they were trying to clear a camp” and there was an injured woman. But again, police say they did not find the injured woman.
Officers did arrest a man from the encampment who was reportedly threatening others with a bow and arrow, law enforcement said.
What we don’t know
Police did not say if the 911 incidents were related. It is also unclear who the man that was arrested was threatening.
FOX 9 reached out to Minneapolis city officials for comment on the incident.
Past issues with Minneapolis homeless encampments
Neighbors have been speaking out against the recent homeless encampments, as they say these areas have turned into a hotspot for drug use and crime.
Recently, 33-year-old JaBraun Garron Hole was shot dead after a large fight at a homeless encampment on 33rd Street and 3rd Avenue South.
Neighbors say that the homeless encampment has been causing them issues for a while.
“I mean it was just like they were terrorizing the neighborhood,” landowner Arne Johansson said. “What if this was your house? If this was your home? They wouldn’t want to people on their land doing all that illegal activity.”
For about two weeks, neighbors say close to 50 people made a home in a vacant lot on 3rd Avenue South.
“I’m in a constant state of stress,” neighbor Seth Nesting told FOX 9. “I haven’t been able to relax or enjoy myself at home. Yesterday I didn’t eat dinner.”
