Your tax dollars at work: Spying on people just because they demand that the government’s agents stop killing black people.

The transmissions pointing to real-time wiretapping involve the local DHS-funded spy ‘fusion’ center. Watch here https://privacysos.org/node/1609#update Holy shit. For those doubting this.. Chicago PD admitted to purchasing cell phone spying devices back in October of this year.
