Excerpts from the ChicagoSunTmes.com:
The Chicago Fire Department on Sunday said it’s launched an investigation into a recent online post that alleged someone from a firetruck removed a Black Lives Matter banner in Kenwood near Lake Shore Drive.
In a Saturday post on Nextdoor, a hyperlocal social network for neighborhoods, Adele Cobbs of East Hyde Park said she saw a firetruck traveling north on Cornell Drive to East 47th St. when it suddenly stopped. She then alleged that two white men took down a Black Lives Matter banner.
“They literally obstructed traffic to do this,” Cobbs wrote. “Unbelievable! They are paid to serve our community and this is what they think about Black lives.”
Cobbs also shared an image of Truck 15 in Bronzeville, behind her vehicle. The post prompted community outrage, with many suggesting she report the incident.
CFD spokesperson Larry Langford said the department is aware of the post and is looking into the allegation.
“The CFD strives to serve every neighborhood with equal response and concern,” Langford said in a written statement. “We have no tolerance for any conduct that demeans any of our residents and visitors, all of whom we have taken a sworn oath to serve. I assure you we will rapidly get to the bottom of this and if found to be accurate discipline and corrective action will be swift and just.”

From the BLOG SECOND CITY COP
The Chicago Fire Department is investigating after someone complained they saw a person get out of a firetruck to remove a Black Lives Matter banner on the city’s South Side.
And in the very last paragraph:
WGN was told that whomever was on that fire truck on Saturday was presented with the allegations against them Tuesday by internal affairs. They now have 72 hours from today to respond.
This is a simple case of property damage or just being dumb.
But Groot wants cops to have to respond to shooting incidents immediately?
UPDATE: And once again, the media caught lying to promote the agenda:
It was a “Defund the Police” banner
The obvious defense? It was litter on the public way, so I picked it up.
But the misrepresentation by the media is all part of the bigger plan.
