CPD releases new drafts of crowd control, arrest, protest policies ahead of DNC – NBC5 (Chicago)

A key takeaway from the department's new policies relates to crowds, First Amendment assemblies (previously called "protests") and civil disturbances: "Force will only be used when it is objectively reasonable, necessary, and proportional." CPD also said "mass arrests are a last resort." The policy is here and public comment is now open through June 30. After that, CPD will review the additional feedback received to guide future revisions to the drafts.
