This weekend in Chicago, a deeply troubling revelation came to light: the city’s Chief of Patrol reportedly issued a stand-down order to CPD units who were in route to assist federal agents embroiled in an officer-involved shooting. Any officer who obeyed this unlawful order to stand down needs to resign immediately.
According to internal dispatch recordings and reports, Border Patrol agents were boxed in and under threat amid anti-ICE protests. When they radioed for backup, police were directed to “clear out … per the Chief of Patrol,” effectively abandoning a federal counterpart in peril. We explain why this violates state law.
Meanwhile in Washington D.C. the Government shut down rolls on while the corporate media seems to be, at least slightly, turning on Democrats. In today’s episode, I explain my prediction as to why the Senate Democrats will back off their outrageous stance and the shutdown will end by Friday.
