You're having a high-speed chase in the middle of a city where people are walking by.
There's car traffic.
It's interesting because I know that's also cropped up again
with Trump's enforcement push really since he took office that you have people in these cities across the country basically saying, you're making our city a more dangerous place, not just because you have armed masked agents who are arresting people just based on racial profiling and all the rest or who are
know attacking people for documenting what's happening but also you have these unmarked cars speeding through cities unaccountably scaring the hell out of people you know regular drivers don't know what to make of an unmarked car speeding out of the blue and chasing you and that's actually part of this too right i mean dhs claims and at this point we see through all of these explanations or whatever lies but you know that people are weaponizing their vehicles
And it's like all the evidence we can get contradicts those claims.
But also just imagine the implications of this.
You're driving down the street doing your thing.
And all of a sudden, out of the blue, an unmarked car starts following you.
I mean, that's an overwhelming thing.
And it certainly leads to panic.
And I will say there was a This American Life episode several months ago.
that played footage from 911 calls in different cities where enforcement operations were taking place, Charlotte, Chicago, Los Angeles.
And I was incredibly struck by what these phone calls sounded like.
I would encourage people to listen.
A lot of reporters across the country have done amazing work
filing public records requests to get 911 calls from sites of these federal incursions into American cities.
And you actually have ordinary people on the phone talking to 911 operators saying, like, what do I do?
Like, what am I right?
Can I fight back?
