@dromografos The report says ICE was up against about 12 neighborhood defenders. If the Chicago cops would not back up those ICE agents, that's more than enough to defeat them, hell probably enough to run them off without a fight.

There have been prior incidents in Chicago where ICE simply bailed when a crowd started to grow and move in on them.

When facing armed enemies, it pays to research and understand the enemy's weapons and their limitations. Let's look at the taser.

A taser can only engage one opponent at a time and cannot stop multiple attackers simultaniously. Since the first person hit with it may recover fast when the current is cut off, it cannot be relied on to engage people sequentially. It is a single shot weapon, with reloads cost $75 each and taking a few seconds to attach. In contact mode (no probe/wire expenditure) it is mostly a pain device and far less disabling. If a T-shirt is thrown over a taser it should block the probes from flying more than a few feet, rendering it a contact/melee weapon only until the obstruction is cleared.

A rug or similar object that can stop the probes outright held in front of the body as a shield should render this weapon completely ineffective.

If we can render ICE's tasers ineffective on the battlefield, we will break their morale and make them far more afraid of us once again.
