The Los Angeles police chief made a similar comment last summer(?).
Local police often partner with the feds, but more importantly they have to deal with the local mess violent protesters create.

This is refreshing, as the Chicago police have not cooperated much with ICE in the past. But since I’m the suspicious type, I’m thinking that there’s a chance the video is a deepfake.

It was from October in 2025. Still applies.

He must have missed the last meeting with Mayor Johnson and the last two with Governor Pritzger.

They do need to lear English more good.

Takes nothing away from the message, but this appears to be from October.

I'm not going to search for clips, but I believe Chicago Police have been doing crowd control and not standing down.

exactly!
because leftists web site are FILLED with the exact opposite information!
many on the left dont even believe these a real federal officers! and they dont believe they have any real authority, and those mistaken beliefs are getting people killed.
To: matt04
This video is from a few months ago when ICE was in Chicago rounding up a few people, and were boxed in with vehicles and surrounded by hostile crowds in a few instances. Chicago still does not cooperate with ICE, and all Snelling was doing here was to warn against violence directed towards Federal officers.
Snelling is no great shakes as a leader, or friend of the working policeman. During the scamdemic he threatened officers with firing if they did not get vaccinated. He did work the streets for a few years early in his career, and must be connected because he dodged some scandal while his partner took the hit. He landed in the academy and spent the majority of his career there as a PT instructor, where he was known as a lady’s man. The guy has had a charmed career for some reason.
