At least 15 detained after protesters and police clash outside Chicago Ice center

At least we're getting some V for Vendetta B-roll out of this clusterfuck.

At least 15 people were taken into custody outside the Broadview Ice detention center in the Chicago area after heated confrontations between Illinois state police and protesters on Friday.

Authorities had instructed demonstrators to remain in designated “protest zones”, but tensions escalated when officers moved to clear the roadway.

According to the Chicago Tribune, at about 8 a.m., protesters advanced toward the building. Within minutes, dozens of troopers equipped with helmets and batons moved in to push the crowd back. Officers tackled and dragged several individuals. Much of the clash was captured on video and posted to social media.

Ah, yes. Nothing says "freedom" (as in fries) like "designated protest zones." Anyone else getting tired of winning?
