In other words, she was doing the kind of thing they do to random people all day long. Knowing how cops feel, it was probably an ordinary traffic jam.

    They just let her go? They thought she was such a threat that she needed to die, then just let her go? Doesn’t sound like what a cop would do.

      Chicago police records shared with the Sun-Times show that a Border Patrol agent had called for assistance, reporting that roughly 30 agents had been “surrounded by a large crowd of people.” But police officials weren’t sent to help, the records show.

      A police spokesperson said officers ultimately responded to a call of a person shot in the 3900 block of South Kedzie Avenue “to document the incident” and “maintain safety and traffic control for all living and working in the area.”

      “We’re here so that you can protest,” Chicago Police Deputy Chief Gabriella Shemash told protesters.

      Chicago PD is staying out of it, it would seem.

        I love how they called for help, and the cops ignored them. But when there was a report of a nearby victim of an ICE shooting, they showed up for that, to “document” it.

        To their credit, the Chicago police force is not piling on with ICE.

        I’m waiting for the moment when the Chicago Police fire on ICE agents in defense of Chicago citizens. Or at least start arresting ICE agents for illegal activity.

        ICE says she drove herself to the hospital. Firefighters say they found her in the street.

        I think they shot her and left her for dead

          Reminds me of how they arrested the adults in a hot van and left the young children behind. Luckily bystanders were around to save them from dying in the overheating vehicle.

          That would be almost as stupid as it is malicious, so yeah that sounds extremely plausible
