“You know, there’s many different factors that go into something like that,” Bovino said. “It would be agent experience, intelligence that indicates there’s illegal aliens in a particular place or location.

“Then, obviously, the particular characteristics of an individual, how they look. How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said to the reporter, a tall, middle-aged man of Anglo descent.

Remember when this was more of a joke.

    Meanwhile, an observer began recording the interaction. Bovino approached the observer and questioned his citizenship status.

    More American than you, you nazi trash.

    But Larry Goone, 59, saw the immigration officers and protesters differently. He was riding an electric fat-tire bike to the lakeshore when he came across them.

    “I saw these [officers] being completely heckled on the river and I just yelled out to them, ‘Hey, I appreciate what you’re doing,’ because most of Chicago does want this,” said Goone, a suburbanite who works in casino marketing. “These people just are doing their jobs.”

    Goone praised the officers for going after “illegals for coming here illegally.”

    What did Goone think of the protesters?

    “This here is organized by George Soros and antifa, and I wouldn’t doubt that half are being paid to protest,” Goone speculated without any evidence. “I don’t understand what they’re doing.”

    Casino marketing is the career you choose when you can't decide which path to reject as the lesser evil. Checks out that he's a warped, conspiracy-spouting shithead. I'd wager that there's a lot he doesn't understand.

    Every sentence revealing more about Larry Goone's state of being made my eyebrows climb higher towards my hairline.

    Truly you cannot make this shit up anymore, this would be a caricature of an adult in any other century.

    Life imitates art.
    For most writers a good day is when life and the people they meet allow them to channel Truman Capote. Yesterday, those writers got to channel Douglas Adam’s without even trying.

    It's a lot more explicit than it was.

    Used to be they'd pretend to have some sort of race-neutral reason. They've stopped doing that.

    This is what I am afraid of if they are in all blue cities by the midterms in the day of election they in theory can hold anyone they want.

    I love that this image has a black guy standing in the mix who should be wondering whether he is supposed to be arresting people that don't look like him as stated, or if the racism is pointed at a particular ethnicity.

    They won’t dare take on actual gangs and the drug trade in the cities. That will get the officers hurt. They’ll bother law abiding citizens.

    A government employed thug's opinion of how someone looks -- what a justifiable reason to destroy a family's or individual's life! America is certainly "hot" and getting Greater all the time now!

    my father worked in construction for 40 years. From 5-7 I thought he was black. From 7-10 I thought he was Hispanic. One day I saw him without socks on, his feet were as white as I was.

    my point is if you're basing all your choices on what you perceive, you're going to make many mistakes.

    ICE is a criminal organization that supports the fascist criminal administration.
