"My city [ #Chicago ] is under siege. Troops are arriving in the suburbs. Federal agents are storming apartment buildings, pulling people out of cars and beds, shooting people in the street, robbing children of their parents, and we can barely track the damage, let alone get in the way. We're told not to get in the way. We're told to film them. Sometimes they arrest people for that too. We're told to write it all down, so that we can at least track what’s happened to people, give the lawyers and people’s families a chance to react, to try to intervene, to at least know. We want to do more, but decency has been criminalized, and the charges are often steep."
