NEW: Multiple law enforcement sources confirm to
@FoxNews
that Chicago police officers were instructed by their Chief of Patrol to NOT respond to Border Patrol agents call for help yesterday after they were reportedly surrounded by a large crowd of protesters following a ramming incident & shooting of an armed woman. Chicago PD CAD screenshot below.


Life in blue jurisdictions. They will not come and help you if they don’t agree with your politics. It’s true in Seattle and Portland and now in Chicago.

When yo have two systems of justice soon you have zero systems of justice.

Not only that, when they did arrive they told the protesters they were there to help the protester's first amendment rights. Good for them.

So, if you’re part of an armed militia who doesn’t have to identify themselves, and you break down the door of a U.S. citizen (who has not committed any crimes) in the middle of the night without a warrant, and destroy their private property, and handcuff them for hours without allowing them to make a phone call or tell them why you’ve handcuffed them, you’re a good cop.

But if you protect citizens who are exercising their Constitutional right to free speech and to assemble, you’re a bad cop.

Let me make this simple for you.

The armed militia being there isn’t to solve a problem.

The armed militia being there IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM!

If you think ramming cars into agents’ vehicles is a Constitutional 1st amendment right you need to actually read the Constitution.

If you think a large gang of armed militia breaking down the doors of U.S. citizens in the middle of the night without a warrant, rifling through their property, being handcuffed without explanation for hours, refusing to allow them to call an attorney, and all without any explanation, then you need to actually read and start believing in the Constitution.

One of these is the act of an individual. The other is the act of the U.S. government.

2 quotes come to mind.

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."

— Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

and

"Evil begins when you begin to treat people as things."

— Granny Weatherwax, I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett

Is that your 329th guess? Or you ran out of numbers--again?

Reading the US Constitution is one thing.

COMPREHENDING WHAT IT MEANS is totally different. THAT is where Spankee and all his followers FAIL--and shall forever FAIL.
