Doesn’t help that ICE actually tear-gassed some CPD in an earlier protest.

Broadview chief says he’s never had the CPD so poorly treated by a federal agency

These are not the best and brightest invading my city.

EDIT: ICE are also making fake 911 calls to drain police resources

    They're not protecting citizens from ICE either...

    The absence of evil is nice and all, but that's not the bare minimum for good.

    And cops still do a lot of evil on their own.

    This is very much a situation where they sure as shit ain’t our allies but if ICE wants to make an enemy of the police I’m not gonna stop that mistake

    Cops are elitists and view themselves "basically military"...

    So when ICE thinks of themselves as "basically cops", they get the same result from cops as cops get from the military.

    I've got disabled vet plates, and I have to be driving extremely stupid just to get pulled over. And then the cop is always tripping over themselves to apologize for it before I even say a word.

    The loyalty is one sided. I don't give a fuck about a cop, and a cop doesn't give a fuck about ICE.

    If a city began using it's police to hinder federal agents that would make it easier for them to send in the national gaurd

    Fox News makes this sound like border patrol agents were getting beat up and the cops refused to help.

    In videos circulated on Instagram, two masked agents could be seen trying to take a man into custody in the middle of a busy street.

    Drivers shouted at the federal agents and blew their horns as onlookers gathered. The struggle went on for several minutes before the agents released the man and fled in an unmarked vehicle.

    In reality, people yelled and honked their horns while the masked federal agents tried unsuccessfully to kidnap a man off the streets. Boo fucking hoo.

    Chicago PD is its own gang and federal thugs complicate things. Gov. Pritzker has tight control over Chicago and the police know he isn't merely talk when it comes to resisting outsiders meddling.

    As I posted elsewhere

    Honestly, what about ANY of this scene makes it look like official law enforcement business other than the greater context? If this scene were to occur in a bubble, it would look like a very public kidnapping and the kidnappers would be at real risk of being killed/hurt by a Good Samaritan.

    Some of the footage MeidasTouch posted this morning was really wild. Some asshat just pulling out his gun and brandishing it/pointing it at protesters.

    And he's not wearing a mask - I hope that POS gets doxxed and faces legal consequences.
