Dear Chicago Police and Taste of Chicago security - You were slightly over-prepared for trouble last night.

Didn't anyone look at the schedule? It was Broadway in Chicago night at the Taste. The crowd for that may boo loudly, but the chance of them rioting or trying to shoot someone are slim. As for the group playing at Millenium Park, the Feelies, they're alt/indies reuniting after 20 years, their audience may be a tad more likely to riot, but only if they don't get an encore or two, so did you really need SWAT standing by?
Just wondering what kind of coverage you had for Wiggleworms. I realize those little kids can be a handful and their parents can be a horror but they might be more of a problem than the Taste crowd on Monday.
