The NATO Summit will be covered her via a police scanner, on Zone 4 (1st and 18th Districts) and Citywides 1-7. I may monitor Zones 5 and 13 as well, as they carry the expressways on them. Today, there are no major demonstrations planned in Downtown, but you never know what will happen, so I'll have my ears on throughout the day. Right now, I'm monitoring the TMAs on Citywide 7, and will switch through the Citywide channels throughout the day. Here's the coverage for the NATO Summit today.

10:13am - TMA 1307Adam needs a car towed. She's at Ohio and State with it. It's blocking something.

10:17pm - Ok, here is what's going on as of now. Chicago Police's Top Cop Garry McCarthy is giving a live news conference regarding the accident at Wacker/Jackson. He's saying that there was in fact a CPD squad car involved in the accident, with one man being hit by it. Eyewitnesses, who include news reporters, journalists, etc., are saying that the squad car flew through the intersection and hit the man. McCarthy wants to see the video. McCarthy is saying that a group of protesters jumped on top of the police vehicle involved in the accident, and then two tires on the vehicle were slashed, and it has handprints, bumps and dents on it. Evidence Techs are coming out to process it now. One news reporter is asking if it's "protocol" for a CPD vehicle to charge through a crowd like that, but McCarthy refuses to answer the question, saying that the officers in the car were being attacked by the crowd. Reporters are saying one thing, basically, and McCarthy is saying another. He will not do an interview with them until further information is given. As a matter of fact, there was just another incident at Wacker/Jackson, with someone from the media showing McCarthy video of a protester trying to take another protester's camera then proceeding to assault them. No charges will be filed in that incident, as the victim does not want to press charges. In general, he's saying that there has been 18 arrests this evening from the NATO events, and six people will be charged for sure.

10:19pm - More information: McCarthy is saying that the guy in the wheelchair from the news clips in the Wacker/Jackson accident was NOT hit by a squad car, basically. He's very defensive right now, keeps saying "I don't know, I don't know,". Wow. But anyway, another reporter just asked McCarthy what is going on throughout the rest of the city. He's saying that Wrigley Field was a really peaceful event with no arrests, and there has "only" been two shootings in the city. Back to the NATO events, McCarthy is saying that yes, at times, CPD did get "protective equipment" for their officers, with head gear and what not, because of people throwing punches and weapons at them, and McCarthy says that he does have to protect his officers. As for the marches, McCarthy is saying that he is doing his deployments the way he's doing them because of some of these people are from out of town and don't even know where they're going.

10:34pm - This concludes my coverage for tonight of the NATO Summit and related events. I'll be back tomorrow with all of this coverage. Good night, everyone.
