1. After the first official is shot, he'll call in the military

2. Prediction: this will go south quickly.

I bet the type and number they're deploying is already contrary to what they told Lightfoot.

3. What a fucking joke.

If these assholes really wanted to stop the violence in Chicago, they'd be sending those guys to Indiana, Wisconsin, and all the other states that are supplying the guns and drugs to the gang members.

8. Correct.

Remove the instruments of crime.

4. And when the violent confrontations start

This smug asshole will sit back and say "See, I told you Chicago was a violent city"

This crap is intentional, it's fascistic, and it should be a national outrage

5. This is a white supremacists' wet dream right now.

They've been banging the Chicago gun violence drum for the last 6 years and now it's come to fruition. The shit will be hitting the fan real soon.

6. Donald is fucking around and might end up with a Coup

....

He should read some history books, questions of what happened to the leaders in Italy in 1945.

7. More: this surge is called "Operation Legend"

AG Barr says the authorities going into U.S. cities as part of "Operation Legend" will be different than the type of officials policing protests in Portland.

He says they will be FBI, DEA, & ATF investigators.

Local leaders who are opposed to this move say it is unnecessary.

To fight crime?
