TRUMP TOWER — Protesters calling for an end to police brutality redirected their anger, albeit briefly, toward the GOP frontrunner during a march Downtown Wednesday night.
More than 200 protesters who had met in the Loop and marched up Michigan Avenue stopped in front of Trump Tower to chant in front of the building.
We probably only cost him like $0.0000001, but it's the thought that counts. :) https://t.co/vUTga2i6gz

Donald Trump was criticized this week after he said that a Black Lives Matter protester who was attacked by Trump supporters at a rally on Saturday "should have been roughed up."
"Maybe he should have been roughed up," Trump said Sunday morning. "It was absolutely disgusting what he was doing."
Activists plan on hanging out by @realDonaldTrump Tower for a while, they say. They want to cost him customers, money.

An activist just told me they have to get off the bridge, but others say they'll sleep here. #LaquanMcDonald pic.twitter.com/DhcaBIMY6J
