10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Could to cop in the picture be any more the image of the typical 'gleeful at the chance to be violent' asshole?
To be fair, the protester might have said something really funny, like "We have rights"
But ...
Multi-billionaire JB Pritzker said that people had to go thru him first...
Now the police he ultimately controls are going after peaceful protestors?
Maybe this is what he meant, if you want to hurt Illinois citizens through abuse by law enforcement. You have to "go thru him" meaning you can't do it without his approval?
At this point it's the only interpretation that wasnt an obvious lie when he said it.
Protest zones? Near an ICE facility?
If the subject of the protest is in your vicinity protests are just loud people. Civil disobedience should be in play.
As my great aunt would say "if you ain't getting arrested, you're not doing enough." 15 people were doing more than the rest of Chicago and I won't lie, that's really disappointing.
