Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

Did you know that nations with a fraction of our police, and police that aren't even armed most of the time, don't have their homes invaded constantly and often have lower crime rates than the US

Describe right wing operation, are you nuts?

Do you know how many people in Haiti or Honduras want our police force so badly because theirs doesnt work?

Dont get me wrong, abuse happens but most cops are good people who want to protect. They're the reason your home isn't invaded and legal to do.

"majority of cops are apolitical when it comes to their jobs"

Tell that to deBlasio lmao

You get that the police have organizations that donate directly to partisan politicians and endorse politicians right

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

I wouldn't since the cops often kill the person who called them

I'd probably handle it myself

This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".

Cops are political no matter where they are

I notice that you've ignored what I said about them having political goals and threatening politicians that don't give them what they want

That's the definition of political

This is why local police, and possibly in-state National Guard should be sent and used to 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

It's pretty clear at this point that R Congressional leaders have zero interest in passing a party-line budget via reconciliation.

They seem very desperate to get D fingerprints on whatever gets to Trump's desk. Like, they'd rather be doing what they're doing now despite it not working.

Or maybe, just maybe, what was obvious in 2024 was correct: Netanyahu fully backed Trump and would not deal with Biden because Trump would give him a free hand to escalate the starvation, bombing, and do full ethnic cleansing. Which he then did, until Netanyahu embarrassed him by bombing Qatar.

Maybe NYPD can stop losing millions on having like 50 cops at every subway stop

Mitchell Horton @jarlent.bsky.social · 1d

They won't need side jobs if they're getting overtime

So that's your position, is that this cop is in absolute dread because he might have to work overtime?
