As federal agents descend on Chicago, Illinois in an effort to curb protests, some of those rallying near the Christopher Columbus statue on July 20 to ask officers put on masks to stifle the spread of Covid-19.

This footage was filmed and produced 20 July 2020.
Early Monday evening, a group marched amid news that the Trump administration is preparing to send 175 federal agents to Chicago. The protest was initially planned in response to Chicago Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara Jr.’s letter to President Donald Trump essentially extending the invitation to federal agents.
After about 100 people gathered at Federal Plaza, the protesters were on the move, heading north near Michigan Avenue and Randolph Street. There was a skirmish between some Chicago Police officers and protesters, apparently as police tried to keep the protesters on the sidewalk.
Protesters stopped for a moment on Michigan Avenue near Trump Tower. Police on horses and raised bridges kept demonstrators at a distance.
Peaceful demonstrators also returned to Grant Park Monday night, again gathering near the statue of Christopher Columbus.
On the video you can see protesters asking police officers to wear a mask due to coronavirus pandemic.
