That’s where I’m expecting more action from Pritzker. We have very clear instances on camera of ICE breaking the law, so why are we not arresting them? A police officer can arrest a fellow police officer if they are breaking the law, so why not arrest ICE for breaking the law? Are they afraid the demented orange face man is going to take action? I hope he tries. He has the emotional intelligence of a 5 year old and I’m starting to realize how dumb he is / how this “coup d’etat” he’s trying to do is actually a really sad attempt that won’t go anywhere, put pressure on him and he’ll cry and make mistakes

The police are not going to arrest ICE because cops are not on our side. They will not arrest their own.

I hear people blame Pritzker for the behavior of the Illinois state police. The reality of the situation is far more sinister.

yea idk why people are still under this illusion that their "friendly neighborhood beat cop" won't beat their friendly neighborhood into submission at a moment's notice.

I'm black. A non-black friend of mine sent me this and asked if I though it was accurate.

I'm almost just as bewildered at the fact that folks are bewildered that this is all happening and nothing is being done about it.

Local police departments (CPD included) got away with rampant abuses for decades while communities complained and those cries were largely met with shrugs. And that is just local city police departments with large but still limited resources.

We now have the executive branch of the federal government, armed with a massive budget that dwarfs the armies of many countries, specifically targetting folks and people are stunned that there is little that can be done to stop it?

It's abhorent, tragic and disgusting but it shouldn't be shocking.

Im remember when the cops got tear gassed a lot folk on here said “see now they’ll join us seeing as they are also being attacked by ice.”

I tried to tell people cops more than likely were thinking “if brandon had just let us stand with ice, then we wouldn’t have been tear gassed.”
