A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
The mayor of Evanston was burnishing his image for his congressional campaign by protesting at Broadview. An Oak Park council member was “peacefully” protesting at Broadview by standing in front of a slowly moving SUV in a courageous and Herculean effort to stop it. If you want to protest, have at it, on the sidewalk. Or in Pritzker’s case, from a podium behind security miles away from “his people”.
Why aren’t we using water cannons on these protesters?
I haven’t seen a single one that doesn’t need a shower anyway.

Indiana, please don’t blanket the comment section every day with no-value-added comments like that. We delete most of them.
Why not just build some nice condos for the protesters while they are at it. Would save them the trouble of driving here for the next protest.
Separating the protestors from ICE is the obvious solution.
And if it is implemented, the “protestors” will soon make it clear that they are not really interested in making their voices heard. They are looking for confrontation, and will ignore any safety rules in order to keep up the confrontation.
I wrote earlier that separating ICE from the protesters is an obvious and urgent solution, before somebody gets killed.
