They just let her go? They thought she was such a threat that she needed to die, then just let her go? Doesn't sound like what a cop would do.

The paramilitary is murdering civilians and not being held to any scrutiny.

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said [bullshit and lies omitted]. ...

The Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ have not independently verified the feds’ account.

They could tell their readers a bit more directly, but I am glad some media outlets are beginning to realize you can't believe a single thing anyone working for this administration says and everything needs independent verification.

McLaughlin said “no law enforcement officers were seriously injured,” and the wounded woman “drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.” But Larry Merritt, a Chicago Fire Department spokesman, said she was found near 39th Street and Kedzie Avenue and taken in fair condition to Mount Sinai Hospital.

Since when do cops shoot someone but not arrest them? Given the level of basic humanity they have been showing I'd guess maybe they were hoping she'd bleed out and they'd have some plausible deniability for not offering any life saving care, but seriously this just reads like a sloppy stupid shit show of an event.

Chicago police records shared with the Sun-Times show that a Border Patrol agent had called for assistance, reporting that roughly 30 agents had been “surrounded by a large crowd of people.” But police officials weren’t sent to help, the records show.

Chicago cop #1: "Ah man, these ICE guys are making a lot of work for us and are a bunch of assholes about it, but I don't want to help protesters, what can we do?"

Chicago cop #2: "Same thing we did in 2020 when they tried to make us wear masks and get the COVID shot. [Turns off radio]. Wanna go get a coffee?"

Chicago cop #1: "Hell yeah, let's hit that spot with the barista that [pervert shit]."

A police spokesperson said officers ultimately responded to a call of a person shot in the 3900 block of South Kedzie Avenue “to document the incident” and “maintain safety and traffic control for all living and working in the area.”

But the Chicago Police Department “is not involved in the incident or its investigation. Federal authorities are investigating this shooting, the spokesperson said.

Seriously, what the fuck do these people get paid for? If just like one of the entities that people in this country have been paying taxes to for years could step up and protect us for once in their goddamn miserable fuck off existences, that would be great.

I don't care if they were being boxed in. If there were people in those vehicles being kidnapped, it seems perfectly reasonable to use non-violent means to prevent the kidnappers from escaping.

This photo is astonishing. The US flag right where his crotch is, fucking professional tacticool loser. Disgraceful.

These aren’t agents they’re Gestapo pulled from white supremisist gangs.

Is this... is this a headline that doesn't use a passive voice to describe people being shot by cops? Good on them

"Chicago police officers who arrived were greeted with shouts from protesters complaining that the police were not protecting them."

Lol, most US cops pick that job because they like hurting people and know they'll get away with almost anything.

Government sanctioned White supremisist gang in masks shoot unarmed women in Chicago because they were scared….there fixed it

What a shithole.

These Brownshirts can fuck off, but that's a paintball marker; captioning that as a "long gun" is just going to be low-hanging fruit for imbeciles.

These nazi assholes can fuck right off

Biggest pussies on the planet. Anyone can shoot a gun you fucking chuds.

Your life matters, please don’t follow gangsters with a license to kill around the city, they will shoot and also get away with it.

They assassinated her for identifying them. Why are they so scared of being identified? Because they fear punishment for their crimes.

My first thought was how does one women box them in? And if it was more than 1, how was only 1 injured...

I agree, probably a traffic jam, someone entered an intersection and could not go all the way through because of traffic, so that "boxed" them in. That person was probably a conservative that wanted to show off thier gun to ICE which they considered buddies. Thier buddies shot at them.

Would kinda be a bit hilarious if it turned out that way. Even better if the women was actually an offduty ICE agent. That would also explain why the lady isn't in custody.

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said the shooting erupted after patrolling agents were “rammed by 10 cars” and “boxed in.” Agents then fired “defensive shots” when they discovered the woman “was armed with a semi-automatic weapon” while driving one of the cars, McLaughlin said.

I'm sure the ones firing were excited at the thought of being able to shoot people.

And really their excuse is we just defensively shot when going around the city to kidnap people

But the Chicago Police Department “is not involved in the incident or its investigation. Federal authorities are investigating this shooting, the spokesperson said.

Wonder what they're gonna find out from their own investigation into them shooting someone for no fucking reason...

They attempted to murder someone in a car accident. If 10 cars were involved, she was probably pushed into their car by someone behind her. So the cops arrested the suspected federal agent for attempted murder, right? NOPE! Cops are not on your side. Ever.

Without their cars, they are 100% useless. That's why they freaked out and started shooting when they thought that they were immobilized.

Spike strips stop cars. Nobody on the south side can slash a tire? WTF?!?
