Of course Rahm said this.

We all know the hill that Rahm Emanuel WAS willing to die on was the covering up the murder of a black teenager by Chicago Police.

New York's cops are so afraid of a serious progressive mayor that they want to retire and move to red states

Call @govpritzker.illinois.gov's office and say:

NO STATE TROOPS AT BROADVIEW
& STOP WORKING WITH ICE

(312) 814-2121

Just horrific. These are crimes.

And let’s be clear — this is by design. They’ve been forthright about that. The aim is to make it migrants suffer so much that they give up their due process rights and leave voluntarily.

i know this is rhetorical but the answer is to get intimate control over the lives of people who are literally required to be vulnerable around you

The police are defunding Chicago.

nothing is ever their responsibility

the violent antifa streets of OIP

lol

But the local cops definitely and positively do not coordinate with federal kidnappers!!1!

Allowing CPD to spend unlimited sums of taxpayer money is a “crazy way to run a city,” said Justin Marlowe, a professor in the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy, and the director of the Center for Municipal Finance.

Thinking about this again today as I read through the right-wing crash-outs and notice how many center on a fear of what others will do— not necessarily to them, just in general.

CPD's pace of compliance with the consent decree

Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling says CPD has made a "huge move" toward complying with the consent decree.

Federal Agents Fired Tear Gas at Lakeview Crowd Protesting Immigration Raids, Videos Show The incident, which took place in the heart of one of Chicago’s wealthiest and most tourist-friendly neighborhoods, marks the second straight day that federal agents have deployed tear gas against Chi...

Pressed by Ald. Daniel La Spata, Chicago Police Department Chief of Detectives Antoinette Ursitti says CPD *will not* investigate allegations that federal agents committed a crime during the normal the course of their official actions.
La Spata was asking about what happened in Lakeview on Oct. 24:

"Police Are Our Government"

if they wanted to they would

The correct unit of municipal budget analysis is not dollars but "Cost of Policing (CoP) days/hours"

You take total money spent on cops over the year (including OT and settlements) and divide by 365 to get one CoP day

Custom made double breasted uniform great coat not alluding to any historical period in particular surely

Chicago is tremendously lucky to have Heather on this beat

From now on, when anyone asks how we’re going to pay for it, the answer should be we’ll take it out of the teargas budget.

The carceral state is generally brutal and evil in the way it treats the human beings it cages, but it’s fine to point out when there are bursts of unusually concentrated or vigorous evil and use it to get people to care.

Best read in combination with this story on the city doubling CPD's OT budget while trying to draw the line at $200 million.

All executions are inhumane. And the death penalty should be outlawed.

The dissent here in discussing “the barest form of mercy” clearly highlights the inhumanity of all executions.

Not even a danger but a certainty given how liberals are OBSESSED with training... see cops.

There are serious, serious doubts about Ant Boyd's guilt. No physical evidence and his co-defendant was coerced into testifying against him. His execution is scheduled for today - his daughter's birthday. Please read this piece from @laurengill.bsky.social: boltsmag.org/anthony-boyd...

The Conflict on the Streets of Chicago Federal agents have violently arrested hundreds of undocumented immigrants in the city. Pastors, activists, and lawyers are considering how aggressive the response should be.

Note that the goon squad shown in the photo is Pritzker’s, not Trump’s.

The national lawyers guild has done incredible work out at Broadview and elsewhere in Chi, if you can help them out, that would be great. I know people love to clown lawyers, but NLG have been incredibly helpful allies in this fight 👊🏻
