This photo is astonishing. The US flag right where his crotch is, fucking professional tacticool loser. Disgraceful.
Government sanctioned White supremisist gang in masks shoot unarmed women in Chicago because they were scared….there fixed it
These Brownshirts can fuck off, but that's a paintball marker; captioning that as a "long gun" is just going to be low-hanging fruit for imbeciles.
Nah. Fuck that shit. This chode shouldn’t be pointing anything at anyone. He shouldn’t even be there.
Yep, that is also true.
Yeah. That's just stupid, but it's not surprising. The media has never done a good job of identifying guns.
Everything is an AR-15, AK-47, or Assault Rifle.
This meme fits so well:
Is this... is this a headline that doesn't use a passive voice to describe people being shot by cops? Good on them
"Chicago police officers who arrived were greeted with shouts from protesters complaining that the police were not protecting them."
Lol, most US cops pick that job because they like hurting people and know they'll get away with almost anything.
That's a bit of a stretch. The take the job because of the power. It makes them feel better than everyone else. The desire to specifically hurt comes later. And I am sure our education system shares some blame. The ones I remember who became cops were always looked down on. Some are just born to want power over others. The rest are made by our system. Not sure what the split would be though.
Back when I was watching a detention room in high school one period I remember talking to some delinquent bully whose grand plan was to become a cop. Yep, that tracks.
chicago cops have a degree requirment but unfortunately it can be waived with enough military or police experience. in other words someone can become a cop in podunk for a few years and then transfer into chicago or just do a military tour or two.
"just"
These nazi assholes can fuck right off
They assassinated her for identifying them. Why are they so scared of being identified? Because they fear punishment for their crimes.
She was still alive at the time the article was wrtitten.
Attempted assassination then. Its just these gravy seals showing how cowardly they are.
The paramilitary is murdering civilians and not being held to any scrutiny.
No one was killed in the incident. Apparently the last drove herself to the hospital so she wasn't even arrested.
Your heart is in the right place, but please do read more than a headline. Bring reactionary is the job of the other side.
So it’s ok for me to shoot you for no reason as long as you drive yourself to the hospital afterwards?
I'm sorry, but don't be ridiculous. That is not even remotely what the last commenter said. He simply pointed out that inaccurate hyperbole isn't helping our position.
Nothing new for "law" enforcement.
They just let her go? They thought she was such a threat that she needed to die, then just let her go? Doesn't sound like what a cop would do.
Chicago police records shared with the Sun-Times show that a Border Patrol agent had called for assistance, reporting that roughly 30 agents had been “surrounded by a large crowd of people.” But police officials weren’t sent to help, the records show.
A police spokesperson said officers ultimately responded to a call of a person shot in the 3900 block of South Kedzie Avenue “to document the incident” and “maintain safety and traffic control for all living and working in the area.”
“We’re here so that you can protest,” Chicago Police Deputy Chief Gabriella Shemash told protesters.
Chicago PD is staying out of it, it would seem.
I love how they called for help, and the cops ignored them. But when there was a report of a nearby victim of an ICE shooting, they showed up for that, to "document" it.
To their credit, the Chicago police force is not piling on with ICE.
I'm waiting for the moment when the Chicago Police fire on ICE agents in defense of Chicago citizens. Or at least start arresting ICE agents for illegal activity.
Because they're (mostly) not cops. They're just fucking random racists.
Fucking random racists that got a $50,000 signing bonus
Biggest pussies on the planet. Anyone can shoot a gun you fucking chuds.
My first thought was how does one women box them in? And if it was more than 1, how was only 1 injured...
I agree, probably a traffic jam, someone entered an intersection and could not go all the way through because of traffic, so that "boxed" them in. That person was probably a conservative that wanted to show off thier gun to ICE which they considered buddies. Thier buddies shot at them.
Would kinda be a bit hilarious if it turned out that way. Even better if the women was actually an offduty ICE agent. That would also explain why the lady isn't in custody.
Your life matters, please don’t follow gangsters with a license to kill around the city, they will shoot and also get away with it.
Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said [bullshit and lies omitted]. ...
The Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ have not independently verified the feds’ account.
They could tell their readers a bit more directly, but I am glad some media outlets are beginning to realize you can't believe a single thing anyone working for this administration says and everything needs independent verification.
McLaughlin said “no law enforcement officers were seriously injured,” and the wounded woman “drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.” But Larry Merritt, a Chicago Fire Department spokesman, said she was found near 39th Street and Kedzie Avenue and taken in fair condition to Mount Sinai Hospital.
Since when do cops shoot someone but not arrest them? Given the level of basic humanity they have been showing I'd guess maybe they were hoping she'd bleed out and they'd have some plausible deniability for not offering any life saving care, but seriously this just reads like a sloppy stupid shit show of an event.

Chicago cop #1: "Ah man, these ICE guys are making a lot of work for us and are a bunch of assholes about it, but I don't want to help protesters, what can we do?"
Chicago cop #2: "Same thing we did in 2020 when they tried to make us wear masks and get the COVID shot. [Turns off radio]. Wanna go get a coffee?"
Chicago cop #1: "Hell yeah, let's hit that spot with the barista that [pervert shit]."
A police spokesperson said officers ultimately responded to a call of a person shot in the 3900 block of South Kedzie Avenue “to document the incident” and “maintain safety and traffic control for all living and working in the area.”
But the Chicago Police Department “is not involved in the incident or its investigation. Federal authorities are investigating this shooting, the spokesperson said.
Seriously, what the fuck do these people get paid for? If just like one of the entities that people in this country have been paying taxes to for years could step up and protect us for once in their goddamn miserable fuck off existences, that would be great.
These aren’t agents they’re Gestapo pulled from white supremisist gangs.
I don't care if they were being boxed in. If there were people in those vehicles being kidnapped, it seems perfectly reasonable to use non-violent means to prevent the kidnappers from escaping.
