He drove at them after driving recklessly through a park. The shooting got lots of press coverage. The city dismantled the protest zone the next day and sent in the police the day after.

That wasn't the only black teenager killed in CHAZ. That was the second incident.

And they absolutely didn't dismantle the protest zone the next day. They dismantled the protest zone the day after protesters showed up outside of the mayor's house.

The glossed over and inaccurate nature of your comment reminds me of talking to someone who watches highly partisan media. I'm going to take a wild guess that you thought CHAZ was a good idea, didn't you?

The shooting they mentioned was June 29.[1] City workers removed barricades June 30.[2] Police cleared the area July 1.[3]

You seem to be talking about Lorenzo Anderson. He was shot just outside the protest area. The person identified as the shooter wasn't security. People who knew both of them said it was a long running feud.
