So what’s going on is that the federal government is running a massive domestic spying operation and getting local cops to do their dirty work once a car is stopped. They call this siloing of data “walling” it off from their true source.

Remember those national guard troops sent to Chicago by Texas Gov Greg Abbott? They went home after sitting at a suburban training facility doing nothing for a month. Abbott's little stunt cost taxpayers at least $12M. What an abuse of power.

Chaos. ISP just made a charge, pushing people back east toward 25th Ave., right into cars pulling out of the parking lot. I hear people talking about arrests but it's too dark to see. People panic, run.
