CHICAGO – Anti-Israel protesters took to the streets for a fourth night in Chicago Thursday on the last night of the Democratic National Convention where nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, was set to make a historic speech, addressing her supporters.
Demonstrators met around 5 p.m. before marching, led by Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling and officers.
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.

Minor skirmishes broke out during the march Thursday, including one involving a counter protester with an American flag. Some of the anti-Israel side also taunted police with a megaphone, saying, "You guys are the ones with guns!"
Another attendee wearing a "BLM" shirt waved a huge black while taunting police, saying "You guys are scared."
