I’m having a very bad feeling about this. A lot of Chicago is Black and a lot of the military are Southern racists. I’ve read a lot of research about how totally benign behavior can be perceived as much more aggressive than it really is. Powder keg being set up. But they don’t care.

Can't think of any reason to support Trump's unhinged takeover attempt of civilian policing in Chicago. He's moving forward with trying to normalize the presence of federal agents and the military to supervise policing in American cities.
