Chicago police just arrested a woman for looting during the protests in the Illinois city, saying that they caught her because she live-streamed her crimes on Facebook.
Taeshia Rochon, 22, was arrested and charged with two felony counts of burglary and two felony counts of looting, according to CBS Local. Officers said they apprehended her after their Looting Task Force received a tip about the video Rochon posted to Facebook Live.
Look at the second video on the page, she is laughing as other looters steal things from the store and run down the stairs.....BLM

The first sentence in the link is dead wrong.
The 8/10 looting that is likely the single largest looting event in US history had nothing to do with any protest.
Nothing rationalizes criminal activity.
Woman in video is one of hundreds who live streamed their crime.
The guy who used a hammer on an ATM while streaming probably wins the idiot of the year award.
LE has made about 200 arrests based on videos.
Then there’s the people offering $900 pairs of designer shoes for sale on Craig’s list.
Fake reports about another unjustified police shooting of an innocent child were posted on Facebook and the pot was stirred for 10+ hours before the first caravans of looters arrived. CPD had called in 400 off duty officers to help out. It is obvious, the number of looters and broad targets was underestimated and the police were outnumbered.
The county, not the city prosecutes. Likely most have been or will be released on low bonds. Depending on priors, likely many will plea and there will be reduced charges.
Once in custody, the county assumes responsibility for the safety, shelter, feeding and healthcare of prisoners.
It has to assume every new “ guest” is Covid positive. M
There is no room at the inn- county jails. New intake have to be isolated from each other and the general population. prisoners serving sentences of less than a year or who can’t make bail.
Then there’s the cost of public defenders, prosecutors, court costs and without a plea, a jury trial.
Too bad, we can just chop off a hand, apply stitches and toss them a bottle of antibiotics.
