Professional agitators, professional terrorists versus a police department whose executives ranks are filled with never qualified, political appointees who have hidden from doing or being involved in policing their entire career. An investigative unit, COPA, whose director is an avid police hater and will snag every suspected violation by an officer and recommend termination. A mayor who is having panic attacks on a weekly basis. The police department down over 2000 officers from budgeted strength.

It’s my hope that the DNC delegates get to experience Chicago values administered by yutes just funnin.
Brando may be in charge, but he’s not in control. His oars are spinning furiously, but they aren’t in the water.
I hope we see a healthy display of peaceful free speech. In 68 many, many young people had skin in the game as far as getting sent to die in a useless war. Today they see mass murder in Gaza but have no skin in the game themselves. The protests will be nowhere near as intense as 68 for thus reason.

In 1968 the leftists draft dodging cowards were all focused on one thing. Today the Democrat Brownshirt grievances are enumerable and legion. BLM, ANTIFA, Code Pink, Hamas Terrorists, CTU members, General leftist complainers, hateful anti-Semites, Pro-abortion, anti-Trump, socialists, communists, anarchists, free shoes, BJ’s fun-loving yutes, etc; Its a long list.There is no limit to their bottomless well of perceived wrongs and their overall goal isn’t to end a just war but to end America.
Because we NEED a foreign war to ship off all these useless hacks. Hope their gender studies degree comes in handy in the steepes of Ukraine!
