A Chicago activist and former aldermanic candidate was involved in a heartbreaking standoff with police as he threatened suicide on Facebook Live. (Warning: the videos contain extremely graphic and disturbing content).
Jedidiah Brown streamed the disturbing and troubling videos on Facebook Live, although his account was later shut down. Thankfully, Brown lived, perhaps buoyed by the immediate support he received on social media and from the many people who called his cell phone during the streams.
Brown eventually surrendered to police “after officers negotiated with him while he sat in his car, causing Lake Shore Drive near Buckingham Fountain to be blocked downtown for more than an hour,” wrote the Chicago Tribune, although the newspaper did not identify the activist by name.
Brown has been in the news before; he once stormed a Donald Trump rally in Chicago.
