A Black Lives Matter protester at a national police chiefs’ convention in Chicago scaled the flag pole outside the forum facility, grabbed the American flag and ripped it down, and replaced it with one of the activist group’s own.
And that one, a black banner with massive yellow letters, read: “Unapologetically Black,” as WLS-TV reported.
The Black Lives Matter flag didn’t stay on the pole for long, the Blaze reported. Police and citizens were quick to act and bring back the U.S. banner.
But the scene was captured on local television and the screen shot of the flag fight quickly went viral on social media.
The Black Lives Matter protesters were in the area for a rally at the police convention, sponsored by the International Association of Chiefs of Police and drawing more than 14,000 members of the law enforcement community. More than 66 were arrested after staging a sit-in at one point in the middle of the street.

As WLS reported, one protester said: “What we’re looking for today is to have our voices heard, to show the coalition of voices, to show that black lives matter, to make our voices heard to this very powerful organization that sets policies. We want less money for policing and more money for community services.”
