The streets of Chicago were filled with tension on a normal day during the protest but at night it was down right dangerous. As it would be, it was all hands on deck for crowd control in an attempt to keep the protest as peaceful as possible.

The Black Lives Matter protest attracted a large crowd that gathered for speeches and ended with a march towards the end of the day. Members of the Intelligence Unit had worked the detail. They were in plain clothes except for their vests, which were worn underneath their coats. It was advised not to "advertise" with 'Police' clothing or riot gear as it was observed in other protests that it initiated aggression. They were hopeful this would end without incident. But this is Chicago.

Jay and Hailey walked within the crowd towards the back as Kevin and Adam walked 20-30 yards in front of them, also within the crowd. All were alert to any disruptions, talking to each other when something got one's attention or to just communicate how things were going. The march was winding down, just past Sunset and it looked as if it would be a success without incident, when a shout came from behind Jay and Hailey.

"I TOLD YOU, YOU RACIST COPS ARE WELCOME HERE NO MORE!"

Jay hardly turned his head in that direction when he felt a sharp pain on the right side of his head. He crouched and reached for his head revealing blood across his palm.

Hailey turns in the direction of the shout, she can't see Jay but hears across the radio.

"5021 George emerg-" Jay's voice is cut off.

A small group starts shouting "Defund the Police!" as they push up into the back of the peaceful march.

"Jay! Jay!" Hailey calls. She keys her radio "5021 Henry Emergency, 10-34 (riot) in progress. I need back up."

Jay feels a blow to his back and his call for help is cut off, he lands on his hands and knees. He hears Hailey call for backup as several kicks to his midsection and ribs force him backwards.

"Jay! Jay!" Hailey calls into the radio as she tries to maneuver her way to where she last saw him.

Adam and Kevin make their way towards the small crowd. "Hailey! Call out!" Adam yells.

"Here! I can't find Jay." Hailey responds.

Hailey, Adam and Kevin continue to struggle against the crowd as they shout for Jay. Sirens are heard as their back up starts to arrive.

Jay is dazed and not putting up much resistance. Again Jay is forced back, this time into something hard. He slides down onto his right side putting his arms up trying to protect his head. He's wedged up against something. More kicks to his chest and a hard blow to his left shoulder.

Kevin yells "Look over there!" He points to a car parked along the road, a group of three looking like they're kicking something on the ground and then a swing of a bat. Police in riot gear start making their way into the crowd and the crowd starts to scatter. The small group near the car look up, see the Intelligence members trying to make their way towards them and run off.

Hailey bee-lines for the car. People running in front of her, she makes out Jay lying on the ground up against a car. "5021 HENRY EMERGENCY OFFICER DOWN ! I REPEAT OFFICER DOWN" She runs up to Jay, hears Adam calling for an ambulance, she drops to her knees next to Jay. "Jay can you hear me? Jay!" Jay's still on his right side, right arm covering his face, left hanging in front of his chest, breathing a bit rapid and short. "Hailey" Jay says as if he's out of breath.

Adam is behind Hailey now. "He's having trouble breathing." Jay drops his right arm down so that it's straight out in front of him. Hailey goes to move Jay's left arm to unzip his jacket when a quick "No No NO!" and a painful moan from Jay stops her. "My shoulder" he pants. Hailey stops, "OK ,OK, just breathe for me." She now notices the blood on the right side of his head and looks up at Adam. Kevin approaches and says, "Ambo's 10 minutes out. Stuck in all the crowd traffic."

Hailey leans down to look into Jay's eyes, "You with me?" Jay opens his eyes to meet Hailey's and whispers "Yeah", still breathing short and pained.

"Jay, can we move you?" Looking at Hailey, he gives a short nod with a grimace and a forceful snort. Hailey waves to Kevin and Adam as she moves to position herself near Jay's head. She braces Jay's head and neck with her hands. Adam grabs a handful of Jay's jacket underneath his right armpit with his left hand and Jay's belt with his right. Kevin hovers over Jay to brace his injured shoulder by holding his left wrist and elbow. Hailey says, "OK Jay, on three, just a little so we can get you on your back. Help your breathing."

Bracing Jay's head Hailey counts "One!" Then nods and Adam pulls to shift Jay. Jay slides on his right side until he is no longer leaning on the car and shifts to his back. Kevin holds firm and moves one hand to support the back of Jay's injured shoulder and lays his arm by his side. Jay screams and grunts "What happened to Three!" "Ahhh, oh oh oohhh, that hurts." He says painfully. "What hurts?" Hailey asks. "Chest. Shoulder. Breathing." "OK, Jay. Let's see what we can do about that."

Kevin moves out of the way. Hailey and Adam change positions. Adam removes his jacket, makes a support for Jay's head, then places his handkerchief to the cut on Jay's head. Jay, with his right hand, starts to grab at his chest. Hailey says, "I got it Jay" unzips his jacket and reaches for the velcro straps to loosen up his vest. Jay grimaces, 'ows' and holds his breath through the straps being undone. With the pressure off his chest released, Jay blows out a breath and starts breathing a bit easier. "Alright Jay, just breath, ambo be here soon." Hailey reassures. Jay looks up and nods.
