DOWNTOWN — An electric sign was hacked to say “Kill Cops” near a Downtown memorial for officers slain in the line of duty.
The hacked sign was spotted Friday morning near Soldier Field, a police spokesman said. It’s near the Gold Star Families Memorial and Park, which honors Chicago Police officers killed in the line of duty.
Officers are investigating, the spokesman said.
The sign is controlled by the Department of Streets and Sanitation. The Sun-Times first reported the incident.
The 2020 edition was canceled due to coronavirus, while this year's event will take place entirely outdoors due to the pandemic.
Holiday bars full of decorations and themed drinks and snacks are here — and there's plenty of options for everyone.
Organizers are calling on the city to invest at least $63.3 million in programs that assist South Shore renters and homeowners with repairs, housing costs, home purchases and more.
Chicago renters and housing providers can apply for money to pay back rent through the city’s Department of Housing or the Illinois Housing Development Authority.
