Protesters in Chicago blocked traffic and confronted police in a tense night of demonstrations. Some destroyed part of the Chicago Christmas tree. The protests are in reaction to a graphic video showing an officer shooting a black teenager 16 times. It happened last year, but the video was made public Tuesday, hours after the officer was charged with first-degree murder.
