COVER STORY

Pushing back on the attack
As the photos on the cover from various protests the past two months, including the July 17 melee at the Columbus statue in Grant Park, reveal, Chicago Police Officers continue to be under attack. The onslaught continues to come from protestors on the street, the media, the mayor and elected officials. But Lodge 7 is making a stand and fight- ing back with a voice and a plan
to let everybody know they’re not gonna take it anymore.
