Sounds like the kind of thing a city without a rat hole would say

CPD love to puff up their chests and tell everyone how regular people can't do their jobs but all I see is them getting indiscriminately gassed by the red state gestapo while putting in 0% effort to resist compared to everyday Chicagoans

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Is Chicago really going to sell off Deedee Megadoodoo's horse?

beyond parody

"The mounted patrol is an important tool for public safety — one that helps bridge the trust gap between residents, some of whom have a less than generous view of police, and the officers tasked with protecting our city. Kids feel safer around officers on horseback, the presence of the animal offering comfort and evoking calm. This highly visible, less intimidating police presence does exactly what we want law enforcement to do: work in cooperation with the community.

And these horses aren’t just steeds, they’re living memorials bearing the names of officers who’ve died in the line of duty — the entrance to each stall is adorned with a photo and a tribute to the officer. In 2023, a horse was named in honor of Officer Ella French, who was shot and killed while conducting a traffic stop in 2021.

Is Chicago really going to sell off Ella French’s horse?"

I'm telling you these people do not love Chicago and they do not love our neighborhood! They want to be fief lords over a domain that they hate and are too rut-driven to leave! These are utterly abysmal, hopeless people, most of them with more money than sense.

Rogers Park and surrounding neighborhoods were hit hard by immigration enforcement activity over the weekend.

There's no competition here, but I want to name that the same heavy, violent, fast-moving abduction pattern has invaded the southwest side about three times a week for over a month now.

When you post about your cat a bunch of randos that don't follow you show up to like it and when you post about Napoleon that doesn't happen and that's what's wrong with Society
