Cusack got a bit too close to the action when riot police walked up to him and started harassing him with their batons.
Cops didn’t like me filming the burning car so they came at me with batons. Hitting my bike.

Cusack seems like he’s ok but he decided to go home after his run-in with the cops.
Would be very surprised if this is a one or two day event / this may well be the beginning of end of trump loathsome era – thank god -feels like many streams of outrage coming to a head- a wave peaking -Chicsgo scene was about getting to trump tower most of day
