Almost threw out my back rolling my eyes at this. Complete failure to grapple with the ample historical evidence of why cops might not be popular with marginalized communities in Chicago. Also, perhaps police culture itself contributes to mental illness among cops? [www.thefp.com/p/chicago-po...](

I’ve watched too many of these raids to count. This one is one of the most infuriating in recent memory. Appropriate that we learn about it on the same day SCOTUS hears oral arguments for a case that may remove the last remaining way to hold federal agents accountable for this kind of terror.

Hard to overstate what censorious bullshit this is. CBS would have 1A protection even if it had edited the interview in a "biased" way. But there was nothing biased or misleading about it. This is about intimidation -- and forcing future compliance with Trump's demands. RE:

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed. He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up. [JD Vance and his forty 4x4s vi...](
