Two men are set to appear in court today to face charges for physically attacking Chicago police officers outside a memorial service on the West Side over the weekend. The incident, which took place in the 4300 block of West Madison, was captured on viral videos that circulated shortly after the attack began.

According to police dispatchers, the altercation started at a “gang funeral,” although it’s unclear why officers were present at the location. The exact circumstances leading up to the altercation have not been disclosed publicly, but more information may come to light during the court proceedings.

The situation escalated to the point where a “10-1” police emergency was declared at 12:24 p.m., prompting backup from surrounding areas. Dispatchers reported a large crowd and officers in distress, calling for additional units to respond to the scene.

Following the incident, Demarco Hunter, 25, and Michael Fitzgerald, 37, were charged with felony aggravated battery of a peace officer. Fitzgerald also faces four misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest.

One video shared by Chicago Contrarian showed an officer with blood streaming down his forehead and nose, prompting outrage from onlookers. The video captured the chaotic scene as individuals attacked police officers in broad daylight.

The incident has sparked concern among residents, with calls for the city’s leadership to support the police force publicly. Chicago Contrarian, a local watchdog, highlighted the urgency of the situation and urged city officials to prioritize the safety of law enforcement officers.

CWBChicago, a local news outlet dedicated to public safety reporting, continues to provide detailed coverage of incidents like these to offer better context and accuracy than mainstream media outlets. Their commitment to transparent reporting and thorough investigation ensures that the community is informed about critical events in the city.

As the court proceedings unfold, the public will be watching closely to see how justice is served in this case of violence against law enforcement officers. The importance of upholding the rule of law and supporting those who protect and serve the community cannot be overstated.
