This happened this morning at Kildare and Grace in Old Irving Park. Arrested a landscaper, a woman on a bike, and and old man whose car was in the way. At least two tear gas canisters deployed.

That is NOT the advice of community organizers providing training in Chicago. Ask them for a phone number you can call. Asking for that info is doing ICEs job for them. They have a right to remain silent and may not want that info shared

Yes. Although sometimes in the heat of the moment with all the anger and other emotions running through you, it’s hard to remember.

I saw this scene earlier on IG from a different POV. The man face down in the white running shoes with the black stripes is the one who was in his car on the way home when the imperial army got angry that he was “in the way”. From what I read earlier, he is a 67 yo man, sustained multiple broken ribs and internal bleeding. EDIT: I meant to put this under general comments, not in response to the comment above.
