hordes of protesters and lines of cops
Wonder which side is being taken here…
“2020 snuck up on us,” Snelling acknowledged in a recent Tribune interview. “Let’s tell the cold, hard truth. We did not have the level of preparedness to deal with something that was that random that popped up on us.”
“We were murdering people so often on the street in broad daylight, we didn’t know it would be that one specific murder that has some repercussions.”
For fucks sake, the 1968 DNC protests are what popularized the term ‘police riot.’
Later, he was heard explaining:
“Guys, it’ll be okay this time. We’ve had decades to train our cops to more effectively treat civilians as enemy combatants and to stock up on surplus military gear. This time we’ve got the weaponry to keep the rabble in hand.”
“CPD isn’t the same police force it was in 1968”
🇽 Doubt
Honestly, it’s accurate. They’ve had substantially more threat neutralization training from the military since then.

Cpd has secret black sites in the city they torture people in, so forgive my doubt that they’ve changed.
Do you have any sources to read up on this?
There is a lot of shit going on, but this feels a little far fetched.
Ooof. Holy shit.
This was a breaking story years ago, but yes they have torture black sites
“We’re gonna murder a lot more LiBrUlZ!” they were heard chanting in white hoods and around a burning cross…
“Whole world watches”
Que egocentricos que son estos gringos
“An important day for Canada and, therefore, the world”
When an american says world, what they mean is actually USA
Pretty much shrug.
Oh yeah we are, even though I wish it wasn’t the case. However, it’s always important to know what is up with as many other countries as possible without becoming obsessed about it, that’s why I wish the stupid media would talk about the farmer protests in the EU, or the atrocities happening in New Caledonia
Really, I don’t understand why they would choose Chicago of all places. Make it easier to group “The Chicago DNC Police Riots” together in future textbooks?
The idea that either event would be featured in a textbook below a university political science course is a bit of a dream anyway.
But I can only imagine the exam confusion.
Excuse me sir is this about 1968 or 2024?
It was included in my high school history textbook, though it was brief.
Yeah, will probably worse.
Though your brother’s bound and gagged And they’ve chained him to a chair Won’t you please come to Chicago Just to sing
In a land that’s known as freedom How can such a thing be fair Won’t you plaese come to Chicago For the help we can bring
We can change the world - Re-arrange the world It’s dying - to get better
— Chicago, CSNY
