"There were probably 50 squad cars, no exaggeration, 100 police officers or so, undercover [and] regular police officers. The beach was full with about 1,000 people and it wasn't your typical Monday night, lakefront young professionals," said Katie Ryan.
Chicago Mayor Richard Daley downplayed the incidents during remarks Wednesday.
"They're isolated incidences. We look at it. We look at it very carefully. We make sure we have better lighting, we make sure we have access there, we make sure the beach patrol is out there as early as possible."
Police were out Wednesday morning searching coolers for alcohol. It's not allowed on park district property and Beach House employees say it's the root cause of much of the violence.
As yet another English phrase meets its untimely demise at the hands of the mayor, the smoke and mirrors campaign continues as J-Fled, Dugan and Keating slap another band-aid on the bleeding city.
