Police superintendent: Chicago cops will keep peace amid ICE protests – Center Square

“If we’re working to make sure that we’re keeping the peace, this has nothing to do with immigration,” Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said. "When you plow into a vehicle that contains law enforcement agents, you’re using deadly force and they can use deadly force in response to stop you."

Taking his marching orders from the mayor. Didn’t explain what occurred 15 – 20 minutes prior to the start of his timeline. His troops wouldn’t be so pissed if it wasn’t true. Disgraceful!

That’s right, Larry.. Let the feds shoot it out with the people attacking them. Not a good scene, especially when a forceful CPD presence might deter the violence.

I was just thinking. If all the law enforcement units worked together how safe do you think the city would be ? Let’s try it .

Snelling said “they” can use deadly force to stop you. He said nothing about local law enforcement helping them. I hope this wasn’t as disgraceful as it sounds.

If the CPD is keeping the peace at the ICE protests, with their limited staffing that means they won’t be able to keep the peace on the South and West sides!
Those peaceful areas might get unpeaceful! Oh no!
Time to turn the Shot Spotter back on!
