Shapurl Wells says Chicago police knocked on her door at 2 a.m., told her to call Illinois Masonic Hospital, and left her learning that 22-year-old Courtney Copeland had been shot.

The City of Chicago's Office of the Inspector General opened an investigation after hearing Shapurl's account of Courtney Copeland's case.

Shapearl Wells and Jamie Kalven use a patio conversation near the University of Chicago to frame the George Floyd protests as "democracy is now in the streets." Wells says the looting debate misses the point because people in Chicago have been forced into survival mode by long-term marginalization, unequal health care, food, jobs, and education.
