• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It seems strange that the city didn’t know about the pending raid since the property is in a foreclosure lawsuit & unsecured.

Over the past 249 years, Federal government has worked together on such matters with local government.

I'm sorry, my re-education isn't completely finished yet. Could someone explain how the "Federal Government" worked in 1775 under the Articles of Confederation during the revolution and what Federal Law Enforcement existed at the time. I haven't been told the current acceptable truth yet. I am eagerly awaiting the "truth" so I can own the libs.

This is the revised summary for “education” to complete. The Civil War began on April 12, 1861 and not 1775.

On February 4, 1861, the Confederate States of America declared independence from the United States in Montgomery, Alabama; it was not a local state government fighting with the federal government, but an independent nation call; Confederate States of America.

Law enforcement? It's a picture that wouldn't look out of place in Gaza.
It's not as if they're shooting little kids in the groin here.

@Aryeh Jay posts often confuse me, but they always make me laugh.

It worked quite well. States raised large military formations for the use of the federal government.

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said the Brighton Park shooting erupted after patrolling agents were “rammed by 10 cars” and “boxed in.” Agents then fired “defensive shots” when they discovered the woman “was armed with a semi-automatic weapon” while driving one of the cars, McLaughlin said.

The Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ have not independently verified the feds’ account. The exact time and location of the shooting weren’t immediately known.


....subsequent reporting:

Body-camera video of a Border Patrol agent involved in the shooting of a woman who was allegedly chasing agents in Brighton Park over the weekend shows an officer saying, “Do something, b----,” before pulling over and shooting the woman five times, the woman’s attorney said in federal court Monday.

The video appears to contradict the government’s allegation that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire on her late Saturday morning on Kedzie Avenue near 39th Street, her attorney, Christopher Parente, said at a detention hearing at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse.
