I'm with the Little Village folks who are pissed off at the way the federales handled the fake id raid yesterday. Immigration officers hit a mall, wearing the garb you see here, toting rifles and machine guns, and stopped 150 people, the Tribune says. It freaked a lot of people out. They're saying this big show was put on to intimidate Mexicans, and with an immigration rally scheduled for next week, well, the timing is mucho peculiar.
Now they did arrest 22 people, including the leader who is wanted for conspiring to commit murder. But acting like Little Village is Baghdad? Not a good idea. An already police-weary demographic doesn't need another reason to not attend a community police meeting, or call 911 when something is wrong in their hood.
I've watched enough cop shows to know that if you really anticipated some big "fire fight" that would have warranted all that heavy artillery* and military uniforms, this raid wouldn't have happened with all those innocent people milling about. And if you really wanted to hit pay dirt with the illegals, why don't you raid some condo developer's job site next time, or any of kitchens of the fancy downtown restaurants?
Yeah, that won't happen.
Unfortunately Pat Fitzgerald was at the center of this. Maybe he's losing his edge after coming up empty on the CIA leak case.
Pat, ok, fine. You got a bad guy. But at what price?
*I made that up. I have no idea what heavy artillery is.

I'm oddly attracted the Fed in the picture. What is wrong with me?
We need to show that we are not screwing around. These @!$!%heads keep on pushing. IT IS TIME TO PUSH BACK!
Illegal hiring practices = illegal immigration. They need to start raiding the CEO's and business owners who hire illegals.
a lot is wrong with you but this isnt part of it - men in unifroms... does it for everyone.
It was obscene.
