Of Course He Did

Unauthorized filming of a "music video" and you gotta have props for the actors:

• An 18-year-old man was ordered detained as a safety risk after he allegedly displayed a machine gun while filming a music video on the Chicago Riverwalk.

  Police responded to a 911 call about people with guns near City Winery, next to the Dearborn Street bridge, around 8:30 p.m. on July 15, a CPD report said. The caller told police that four men and four women were flashing guns and filming a music video near the bridge.

  Arriving officers saw Armani Gilbert leaving the scene with a speaker box and stopped him for a chat. According to police, the officers saw a handgun inside the box next to the speaker. The weapon was equipped with a “Glock switch, an after-market modification that could make the gun fire automatically, prosecutors said. A 50-round drum magazine containing an unknown number of bullets was also found inside the box, according to police.

And why waste money on plastic look-alike pieces when you can just borrow a switch-equipped semi-auto pistol with a drum magazine and use that?
