NORTH LAWNDALE — Dozens of people gathered on a West Side street Monday afternoon to protest the shooting death of 19-year-old Roshad McIntosh, who was killed by police Sunday night.
Thunder boomed overhead and blowing rain hit a blood-soaked porch in the 2800 block of West Polk Street, where McIntosh's mother, Cynthia Lane, stood outside surrounded by supporters.
"I want my baby, they killed my baby," Lane said, sobbing.
Police responded to a call of an armed men at the Polk Street address Sunday around 7:10 p.m., and when they tried to talk to McIntosh, he ran, authorities said.
Police chased him into a gangway, where he pulled a gun and pointed it toward an officer, police said. The officer fired at the man, killing him.
Police said a weapon was recovered on the scene.
But Lawndale residents, friends and family of the teen, say that they don't believe police accounts. Neighbors rallied outside the scene of the shooting Monday to let Chicago police and politicians know they are angry.
Protestors said that McIntosh had no gun and that he was already on his knees with his hands in the air when police shot him. They maintain that in McIntosh's case and many other police-involved shootings on the West Side, cops have been too quick to pull the trigger.
"They can't keep coming into our community and killing our kids," said Marcia Sloan, who helped organized Monday's demonstration. "We have to unite as a community."

I'll take ISLAM, for $500, Steely.
culling the herd continues
“But here they possibly made a good call, in St Louis it was a definite good call.”
Funny how that works.
On many levels funny.
Now every criminal the po-leece gun down will be on his knees with hands in the air begging for mercy.
this in addition to “he was a good boy” and “aspiring rapper”
memes.
My foot.
Lol.
You are amusing.
Much like Alaska Wolf.
Purge?
It is kind of like the disconnect we saw and tried to point out in the civil rights era. How is it that the establishment of Black Student Unions doesn’t logically lead to “Colored Drinking Fountains”, the very thing we all just spent so much time eliminating?
Race based facilities, and that is what an all black neighborhood controlled policing movement is, will bring about the situation where only the person’s color is the determination as to who can police, charge or convict a person and if that is the standard, what is the next result.
In a non-black neighborhood, no black police or law enforcement and if a black commits a crime against or amongst whites he is only charged by them?
This is racism — black racism.
JimRed, come down and claim your $500!
Did your VIP tickets to the funeral allow you to touch the holy corpse?
Did it smell funky or kind of like Benzine when you kissed it?
on his knees with hands up? that’s not what this witness says ( 2800 block of West Polk St):
“....a police car pulled to stop in front of the players, got out with their guns drawn and told a separate group of young men hanging out a few feet away to lay on the ground.
Patterson said after a few moments passed, one of the young men got up from the ground and ran. About 30 seconds later, Patterson said, he heard six gunshots.
“What took place back there, I don’t know,” he said. “

This has become the stock assertion of the "witnesses" in these shootings.
That and it seems kind of pointless to beat em as well.
Just makes bad meat....
previous arrest??
I’m shocked. /s
but, but, but, why didn’t they just shoot the gun out of his hand?
The thugs and their mothers NEVER EVER have the same last name, and if the mother has more than one child everybody in the “family” has a different last name.
That seems to be SOP.
I never thought this way until the past week but I think there is a huge backlash forming among the folks Richard Nixon referred to as the Silent Majority. They’re fed up being blamed for black America’s problems. The Democrat power elites know this too. How come Hillary, San Fran Nan, and Dingy Harry were nowhere to be seen at St. Michael the Thug’s funeral? Usually white liberals would be fighting to get a seat at a black funeral to exploit it politically, but not this time. They can read the political tea leaves and they know this incident was badly overplayed politically and want to be nowhere near Ferguson.
This is so tragic.
If only the white man had never enslaved his people.....he could've lived happily in the Liberian lap of luxury and died from starvation, AIDS, war as a child soldier, or ebola, long before age 19.
Just look at what we deprived him of......I guess that's why they try their best to make places like North Lawndale look like North Rwanda-dale and live and die with the same lawless abandon.
