The Nature of the Beasts.

Let us be crystal fucking clear about who these people are.

Regardless of what their sociopathic tsarina might continue to profess and regardless of what they will insist when their grandchildren ask them who they were, they do not come into our communities as “law enforcement.” They do not drive past our stores and schools and houses of worship as “protectors.” They are not “courageous.” They are not “heroes.

The modern beast they most resemble are unpleasant online gamers, the sort of jackass who spends hours per day camping next to spawn points and shooting other players as they step inside the environment. They can’t go five seconds without screaming into their headsets about the horrible things they will do to every member of your family and they create multiple YouTube compilations of their avatar squatting over virtual corpses while chanting the word “teabag” and then giggling like a hyena in a cloud of nitrous. They moan and pout when their behavior earns them temporary bans. They lie about their achievements and think SWAT pranks are the height of comedy while guarding their own anonymity lest consequences find them one day.

“While Border Patrol photographers snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’”

Little Village is a famous Mexican-American enclave on the Southwest Side — and federal immigration agents have repeatedly targeted the people who live and work there. Agents tear-gassed a Little Village street this weekend and were spotted in the area numerous times.” (Block Club Chicago)

“Records presented at the hearing showed that in a group Signal chat with other agents, which Exum described as a support group, he wrote in part: “I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.”

In a message to another recipient, Exum sent a news article about the event followed by the message: “Read it. 5 shots, 7 holes.” (NBC News)

“’Arrest as many people that touch you as you want to. Those are the general orders,’ Bovino tells the agents in Los Angeles in the roughly 30-second video.

“Everybody f—ing gets it, if they touch you, you hear what I’m saying? Less-lethals? We’re gonna look at shipping tractor trailers of that s— in here, so it’s all about us now. It ain’t about them. Professional, legal, ethical, moral — you know what I’m talking about, legal, ethical, moral. … You’re on camera, but other than that … it’s what we do.”

Another agent asks, “Whose city is it, chief?”

“It’s f—ing ours, it’s our f—ing city,” Bovino replies.” (Block Club Chicago)

They treat our home like an open-world level and they treat our neighbors like NPCs and loot boxes.

They think of themselves as conquerors and alpha males because that’s what their buddies tell them they are, and then they get vicious and petulant when everyone else rightfully names them cowards and hopeless n00bs. But they’ve been given guns, a limitless supply of ammunition, and a promise of carte blanche immunity from their superiors, so screw you all.

Recent reports indicate that “Operation Midway Blitz” may be winding down in the near future. Since it’s after Chicago’s first genuine cold snap and snowfall, it’s reasonable to assume that they’re unwilling to cope with the weather and that it means there are fewer landscapers and caretakers walking through public parks for them to terrorize and detain in miserable warehouse conditions.

Somebody set Chicago on Expert Mode so now they will log off, proclaiming they have nothing more to prove.

That’s who they are as a collective.

One day they will be known as individuals, though. And their names will be hammered with ink onto the charging dockets.
