According to CBS 2 in Chicago, someone pushed outthe department’s radio frequencies on social media giving rioters the tools to jam the bands. Then, when officers tried to use their radios, all they could hear was music overriding their ability to communicate with each other.

CBS 2 also noted that the exodus of officers over the last few years had deprived the Chicago Police Department (CPD) of the "institutional knowledge” about how to organize and respond to significant events in the Windy City.

Older police action plans with details on how to respond to such events went by the wayside, and the CPD was caught flatfooted.

CBS also noted that the coronavirus was a source of interference for the department.

Officers had already been worn down from constant overtime as Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) has deployed the CPD as her special COVID-19 scold force and distributed them to prevent people from using the walking paths on the lakefront, to shut down churches, and to put on anti-party patrols in the neighborhoods.
