Have never seen an owl before tonight. La Villita Park. (I am pretty sure it's an owl.)

Gregory Bovino, who was running the show here for CBP, said the Irving Park teargas was justified - exemplary, even - because he hadn't seen evidence otherwise.
So regarding evidence, did Bovino
Review video? No
Ask to review video? No
Review reports? Can't recall
Talk to officers? Not sure

Threw dirt on the casket
the hurt I couldn't mask it
Mixin down emotions
struggle I hadnt mastered
I choreograph 7 steps to Heaven
In Hell
waitin to exhale & make the bread leaven
Veteran of a cold war
it's Chica-I-go for
What I know or whats known
So some days I take the bus home
just to touch home
the hurt I couldn't mask it
Mixin down emotions
struggle I hadnt mastered
I choreograph 7 steps to Heaven
In Hell
waitin to exhale & make the bread leaven

From the CVS lot. Moment of silence. Now. Only the sounds of kids off in the play area and the creaky suspension off a passing car.

Maybe 350-400 now. Big crowd. People still arriving. Area around the platform surrounded and crowds in each direction. Group holding "Hands Off Chicago" signs on the raised bed west of. Car honking passing by gets applause from the crowd.

Here, hand-written tags, one right shoulder strap, one left shoulder strap. (Bovino's body-worn camera is affixed in a place unlikely to capture interactions with the public unless someone is standing right in front of him. The others have placements more common to what officers normally wear.)

The uniform tagging wasn't consistent. Saw tag placement on both shoulders and different places on the bodies, and in some cases, written in black ink on white paper and taped to the strap of a vest cover. (This SUV was Bovino's; you can see the white tag on this agent's left shoulder.)

Here's "processing" as it were. In the parking lot west of Caldwell south of Jarvis. At the end, the agent in the tattered flag gaiter told a photographer they were done for the day. The prisoner van had a straw hat and neon vest on the dash. One agent said they were heading to Broadview.

Here's the second half of CBP walking him away. But the protesting continued as they were present and as they left. Whistles were at the end. I got the sense CBP didn't want to linger. Saw from BORSTAR and BORTAC here.
