Wow the Broadview police are looking into something. What did Andy get back from fishing and send Barney out to check ? Protesters are aiding and abetting illegals. Do your real jobs
After the events in Portland, Dallas etc. it’s pretty clear- stay behind the line to get your story. FAFO. “Journalists” don’t cover their faces, carry weapons and have umbrellas at the ready while screaming “ Shoot the F—kers “ as many supposed “ journalists “ have been seen to do. Any Antifa clown can scrawl “ journalist” upon his Ninja cosplay clothing.
If Broadview police did their job protecting the ICE agents (protecting everyone is the job) there wouldn’t be this problem
