Just look at the birthday parade organized by the rival supporters recently; based on the photos, I didn't see a single cop in sight. Yet, whenever we have a march on the streets here in Chicago, there are hundreds of SWAT officers in full tactical gear, surveillance vans with cameras, and everything else. So, I’m posing this question to the press: how does that work? Why is the police force in Chicago so fundamentally different from the departments in other major American cities?
It’s the same story with the security guards from that Sokol Marić firm—they seem to apply the law with such selective precision. They cling to the rulebook like a drowning man, but only when it comes to the actual Bad Boys. Meanwhile, the sycophants supporting the occupiers can walk right into the stadium without even being searched, let alone sitting in their assigned seats!
According to the laws governing sports fans, security personnel act under the direction of the police. Therefore, my question for the journalists is this: under whose specific orders is the police department operating at the stadium?
