Chicago residents became confrontational with the city's police in the aftermath of a shooting on Sunday, nearly starting an all-out brawl with officers who were working to secure the scene.
Video from the incident shows a small crowd shoving the officers and ripping up police tape, with one woman getting ready to swing a wooden board. When the woman brings up the board to swing at an officer, another pulls out his taser in response.
The video shows another man in a ski mask also holding a wooden board in a threatening manner. Towards the end of the video, the crowd starts to dissipate and civilians pulling others away from the police line.
