The Running Rahm Story

We assume it came from this story on Channel 7:

• Activists upset over cuts to mental health clinics interrupted Mayor Rahm Emanuel at an event Sunday.

  The mayor was actually leaving the event at the time.

  Emanuel's security detail and police kept the protesters at a distance.

  Since announcing cuts and closures of mental health clinics, there have been numerous demonstrations by people who rely on the clinics for care.

See, Rahm was just leaving when those noisy serfs started hassling him.

Unless you read Channel 5's coverage:

• Mayor Rahm Emanuel can't seem to escape protesters these days.

  [...] The protesters, upset over the closures, went straight to the source Sunday and interrupted Emanuel during an Earth Day event.

  Demonstrators yelled non-stop as the mayor helped a group of children plant a tree on the Southwest Side. The mayor's bodyguards and Chicago Police tried to keep the protesters at a distance, but after a few minutes, the mayor left the event early.

In the second story, Rahm was chased from the event, not "just leaving." It certainly doesn't look like he ran and the cops appear to have done their jobs. Hopefully, that translates into a huge raise for all officers when (if?) negotiations start any time soon.
