Chicago Cops Terrorize Kids

Oops – wrong address.

When heavily armed officers raided a home in one of Chicago’s poorest neighborhoods, instead of finding an accused drug dealer, they found 9-year-old Peter Mendez and his family.

“It was like my life just flashed before my eyes,” Peter said of the 2017 incident.

The officers, yelling “get on the ground,” pointed their assault weapons at Peter and his family and handcuffed his father before realizing they were at the wrong apartment.

You would think that if they are going to conduct a raid with heavily armed cops that they would make damn sure they have the right address.  How about checking with the landlord, or asking a neighbor maybe check with the post office.  Is it that hard?  Or, just stop conducting these types of raids.

Coming To Your Neighborhood: The Surge

President Donald Trump on Monday said the Justice Department is preparing to launch a sweeping crackdown on crime that he named “the surge,” a term commonly associated with the George W. Bush administration’s decision to send tens of thousands of additional troops into Iraq in 2007.

“In coming weeks, Attorney General Barr will announce a new crackdown on violent crime — which I think is so important — targeting gangs and drug traffickers in high crime cities and dangerous rural areas,” Trump said during the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in Chicago. “Let’s call it the surge.

Trump brags he made available $600 million dollars worth of military equipment to local law enforcement.  Now that they have armed and equipped a domestic army it’s time to turn them lose on American cities and towns.  We know the enemy – it’s us.

Poll: Americans Are Always Wrong About the Most Important Things

The Hill:

A large majority of voters — 84 percent — are concerned about the prospect of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons, according to a Hill-HarrisX poll released on Monday. 

That’s more than those who expressed concern over other foreign policy issues, including North Korea’s use of ballistic missiles, U.S. election security, Turkey’s military action in Syria and President Trump’s ongoing trade war with China.

Voters across party lines expressed concern over Iran’s nuclear capabilities. 

Of those polled, 89 percent of Democratic voters said they were either very or somewhat concerned about the Middle East country developing weapons of mass destruction, compared to 85 percent of Republican and 79 percent of independents who said the same.

Hey Scott Horton, why do you even bother? I don’t know dude.
