#they will bring out a paddy wagon to follow marches just so you /know/ they're ready to arrest en mass

HI IM SORRY IF THIS IS ODD. I saw your tags in the NYC drone post about seeing drones above the protests in Chicago. I'm so fucking glad someone else saw them and thought they were weird. When I saw this post I remembered seeing one just towards the end at the park and I wasn't sure if it was civilian or not. EITHER WAY thank you for saying something, I'll be sure to make people aware of this possibility

It's dystopian. I've seen one dip so low it was it almost bumped into someone's flag. (I wish they swatted it down). It's been happening since 2020 unfortunately. It's an unfriendly reminder to disguise your appearance when demonstrating.

#I've become hyper aware of that stuff since 2020 #like cops will film you #sometimes just straight up with their phones or indirectly with drones #they will bring out a paddy wagon to follow marches just so you /know/ they're ready to arrest en mass #even for a tame Sunday vigil for a child victim of police brutality #And after lightfoot lifted the bridges to cut off demonstrators it made it a viable tactic #Which we saw them use to be racist and cut off the Mexican Independence Day celebration #So I wouldn't be surprised if they use that again #in which case have a plan B route home that avoids the metal bridges #answers #asks
