Isn't calling it a "blitz" a little too on the nose (even for them)?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"Midway Blitz" dude you're a glorified mall cop and bully. You don't know shit. Sit your ass down.
glorified mall cop
Nazi. Tempting as it may be to just insult them, imo things like 'glorified mall cop' mitigates the threat they pose to our country and constitution. They are Nazis.
But the enemy was advancing with their picket signs... /s
Get the fuck out of my city you ghoulish fascist shit-fuckers.
Get the fuck out of my city
You and your neighbors will have to force them out.
You can't wait for someone else to do it for you.
For my own personal safety I don't own guns, but even if I did guess who gets in trouble for doing the right thing.
The only way they are gonna leaveis if they deem the risk to be greater than the reward. Chicagoland might just be the place that shows us how to tip the balance on that.
Yeah but they won't be going to the West Side of they're looking for immigrants.
Just as the Supreme Court ruled they can target people based on race too. How convenient.
So couldn't you demand they display a badge if stopped? And failure to do so means they don't have authority to detain you?
This is why everyone should walk around armed. Need to start passing out spears to protestors.
In a fair and just world, I would think so. But I don’t think they care about what authority they actually have.
It was never about safety, just about hurting minorities. The GOP is very clear in their message; they have no idea what they're doing and need a group to blame. I guess don't walk around with a tan....
I wish the administration would focus on reducing crime and helping the economy. First step is to arrest donald trump and his goonsquad so we can start to recover from their dumpster fire.
