    Fuck, “crackdown” is not the right word or framing here at all.

    It’s an invasion.

      Bezos owns the WaPo and was seated in the front row at the inauguration. Probably a coincidence.

    I hope the people living in Trump tower have a nice view of the burning police cars. Maybe it will make them think twice about living in this city l.

    Knowing the crime rate in Chicago I give them 4 days before a shootout occurs involving the deployed soldiers.

      I mean… that’s the whole point of this exercise, right? Manufacturer unnecessary violent conflict as a means of convincing people that your policy of hyper-militarization is essential for keeping the peace.

        If that’s their plan, then it’s dumb. ICE has been shot at a few times already and it barely made the news.

        I thought it was the funniest thing when I visited Chicago that while driving, nobody moved to the right lane for police cars but everyone moved over for fire trucks and ambulances.

        I’d assume any gang would be. It’s bad for business. Much easier for to get away with killing another drug dealer than killing a cop.
