A quick intro:

I post what I hear

Sometimes I hear something wrong. Sometimes I mistype

Sometimes facts change as situations unfold. Sometimes I have to step away during a call or take a day off

But I post what I hear

I'm pinning this comment. Some jargon & other info below👇

A great breakdown of the events over the weekend that led to an ICE officer involved shooting

ScannerChi @scannerchi.bsky.social · 10d

THREAD: From that ICE shooting, CPD audio says the victim called it in herself, they found the weapon inside a purse, found front end damage to her vehicle, CPD couldn't figure out where the shooting happened for a while, CPD did traffic control + some scene security for an hour

well I was wrong, can someone explain to me what would be the point of boats in chicago? This isn't a border. Are there large groups of immigrants fleeing Chicago by swimming across Lake Michigan?
