Chicago Police Department officers were caught in clouds of tear gas during clashes with protesters in the city on Saturday after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents deployed the chemical agent.
Newsweek has contacted the Chicago Police Department and the Department of Homeland Security for comment via email outside office hours.
The legal term for this is reckless. This is reckless endangerment of life. And it shouldn’t just be the reckless endangerment of police life that we care about.

But was it really accidental?

Ice and SS sound eerily similar.

Keystone Kops or Gestapo training? It’s a question worth asking.

“Accidentally”

First Pepper Spray now Tear Gas? Ffs, CPD stand up for yourselves and do your dang job.

They’ll make up, make a circle, and play pass the boot together soon enough

NOW they dun goofed. CPD gives fewer fucks than ICE and they have actual law-enforcement training…not to mention they’re, y’know, *actually supposed to be there*.

Former LEO in big city here and I’ve worked with most of the federal agencies at some point during my time. I’ve seen dozens and dozens of videos of ICE in action and those guys are straight up BUSH LEAGUE in the tactics and people skills. It actually does feel like a bunch of untrained Joe’s that wanted to play cop, not just a political talking point.

I’m sure these expertly trained, well disciplined and by the book agents couldn’t have possibly done this.

“accidental” they know Chicago police only know how to escalate.

I guess this is what Trump meant when he said “training grounds”. Civilian bystanders, local authorities, protesters, ICE doesn’t seem to discriminate.
Wrong_Confection1090 on
Yeah, “accidentally.” Any chance the ICE Troopers watch Fox News?
And these idiots have the nerve to complain that CPD isn’t giving them enough support

I feel like it’s only a matter of when till an Ice agent either shoots and kills A) a migrant, B) a protester and C) a cop.

Who knew hiring the worst people possible who washed out of every other job possible would have terrible consequences?

ICE and the Chicago Police feuding is pure win/win. Like if Sauron and Palpatine got in a brawl. Double points if it makes them both look like exactly what they are.

They didn’t “accidentally” do shit — They deployed chemical weapons indiscriminately, ain’t nothing _accidental_ about that.

Waiting on the Fox News story in future “ICE mistakenly fires live rounds into a angry mob on city streets”

So they assaulted law enforcement and were arrested, right?…. Right?

That’s what you get when you have untrained goons who wear nazi tattoos doing “law enforcement!”
