    But Larry Goone, 59, saw the immigration officers and protesters differently. He was riding an electric fat-tire bike to the lakeshore when he came across them.

    “I saw these [officers] being completely heckled on the river and I just yelled out to them, ‘Hey, I appreciate what you’re doing,’ because most of Chicago does want this,” said Goone, a suburbanite who works in casino marketing. “These people just are doing their jobs.”

    Goone praised the officers for going after “illegals for coming here illegally.”

    What did Goone think of the protesters?

    “This here is organized by George Soros and antifa, and I wouldn’t doubt that half are being paid to protest,” Goone speculated without any evidence. “I don’t understand what they’re doing.”

    Casino marketing is the career you choose when you can’t decide which path to reject as the lesser evil. Checks out that he’s a warped, conspiracy-spouting shithead. I’d wager that there’s a lot he doesn’t understand.

    “You know, there’s many different factors that go into something like that,” Bovino said. “It would be agent experience, intelligence that indicates there’s illegal aliens in a particular place or location.

    “Then, obviously, the particular characteristics of an individual, how they look. How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said to the reporter, a tall, middle-aged man of Anglo descent.

    Remember when this was more of a joke.

    This is what I am afraid of if they are in all blue cities by the midterms in the day of election they in theory can hold anyone they want.

    I love that this image has a black guy standing in the mix who should be wondering whether he is supposed to be arresting people that don’t look like him as stated, or if the racism is pointed at a particular ethnicity.
