You're kidding with this shit right? As a veteran, I can 100% assure you that this is not proper escalation of force and there is no reason in any reality that they should be pointing that weapon at that UNARMED person's head. FFS. The person is outnumbered like 5:1.

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.
www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.
