    “If you ain’t from Englewood, get the F*** out of here,” longtime neighborhood resident Darryl Smith told protesters    .

    Smith is very passionate about his community. It makes sense because he’s never left Englewood.

    “I’ve lived in Englewood 51 years,” he said.

    His anger stems from Sunday when Chicago police shot 20-year-old Latrell Allen. Police claim the young man fired at them first on 56th and Aberdeen in Englewood.

    “First time they heard something he was 15. He got shot and a lady got shot. It goes to social media and you have to learn the facts, you have to have facts in this matter,” Smith said.

    Police believe the shooting of Allen and tension at the scene with neighborhood residents sparked looting in downtown and on the Gold Coast.

    “A lot of people saying the looting started because of Englewood. We are tired of Englewood getting a black eye, those people were opportunist,” Smith said.

    He says he’s not buying it and he and other Englewood residents had wanted the protesters from Black Lives Matter Chicago, Good Kids Mad City and other groups to leave.

    LOL They don't want protesters in Englewood (the second or third worst part of Chicago because some residence are afraid that the residence will be punished by their police.

    The police in Chicago are a joke.... I say that as someone that worked with them, lives in the area and has spent a long time in the various communities.

    You know it is bad when the residents (in an area that is 96% black and 3.5% hispanic) are on television saying for people to avoid Engelwood because the police response in their neighborhood will be to kill black children.

    You are so ignorant of what is happening in Englewood that you really shouldn't speak on it........ the residents in that area of the city are scared of the consequences by the police department. Residents over 35 are left living in an area where all the black people in Chicago have been shoved together, the children are pressured to join gangs and the police literally do whatever they want to residents without any fallout........ and they only solve like 20% of the murders and a large part of the time the people arrested had nothing to do it, but plead because their attorney's tell them to.
