#Children were playing on the monkey bars outside Funston Elementary School just before noon on Oct 3 when a white SUV rolled down their street in #LoganSquare, a historically Hispanic neighborhood that’s been steadily gentrifying for years. Cars followed, drivers laying on their horns to alert neighbors these were federal agents. A scooter pulled in front of the SUV, trying to block it in. There were no mass protests; some teachers walking to lunch initially didn’t realize what was happening.
Suddenly, #TearGas canisters flew from the window of the SUV.
The cloud of gas rose, first white, then green, & the street exploded into pandemonium. Some people ran. Others shouted at agents to leave. Sirens screamed toward them. Parents blew through stop signs & drove on curbs to reach their #children.
