The photo of peaceful protestors being arrested is the perfect illustration that ICE is out of control. When there is a protest, the police should be there for two reasons, one, in case someone is injured, and two, in case the peaceful protestors get infiltrated with people who aren’t. When we had the marches in New York to protest the death of that man in Minneapolis who was choked to death by an overzealous police officer, a couple of people broke ranks from the marchers, walked over to a café nearby and smashed the plate glass windows. This is why the police must be there, not harassing peaceful protestors, but looking for infiltrators.

The patches on the line of cops in the photo identifies them as Minneapolis PD. The balaclavas are probably just protection form what was no doubt a brutal sub-zero day.

It was incredibly cold. In more ways than one.

Yeah, I saw your video from the Mpls airport and remember thinking "when even a *Chicagoan* thinks it's too cold...". I spent the winter of 1983-84 in Missouri, Indiana and Illinois and do not care to ever experience a -40ºF wind chill again. I don't understand how the human body can acclimate to those conditions, but I'm told the climate is one of the factors that make Minnesotans band together like we're seeing now.

I LOVE the new photo, Qasim. So beautiful, so much character.

As time goes on and new crap rains down on us like grenades, it's disgusting to realize that the reason for ALL of this, all of it, is--that a group of people in this World are so obscenely rich that they constantly need new, more ghastly, more hideous, more arousing, more powerful games to play to make their lives worth living.
