Isn’t this how they behave at every single arrest? What made this one worse? I’m confused.
she was basically distraut and crying and the dude charged, tackled and put her on the ground with sufficient force that they had to send her to the hospital with suspected head injuries, and the entire crowd of press surrounding him.
Basically. it was the entire thing was filmed by press and there's a lot of sympathy from all but the most assholish of assholes.
I guess I’ve seen a lot of footage like this. And usually the only thing that happens is the victim gets charged with assault.
yeah. this one has legs though. Which basically means that she won't be charged, and that they'll put the guy on paid leave until the news cycle blows over and then he'll be back creating more "content" like this shit.
The only difference between this incident and dozens of others is that it literally happened in front of a bunch of press types.
I see. Maybe we need to start applying pressure to make the press do their job all the time instead of just occasionally.
Dump main stream and find independent media. We’re now finding tons of journalists who are doing it, but not through “traditional” channels.
Increasingly, the major outlets are getting owned by fewer and fewer billionaires. (And you can write off anything on TikTok now, too)
Yes this can’t be said enough - Ditch TikTok
I have but they still have a lot of influence on people. So I think it still matters.
He's lucky that happened in a courthouse. If that was on the street with a bunch of people around, he may not have made it out. And you know none of them would admit seeing a thing.
Honestly, ICE has de-legitimized courthouses for me. I can't believe that those places uphold law, when people are trafficked in plain sight.
"Immigration Court" is part of the executive branch. An "immigration judge" is a employee of the DoJ. I don't think anyone can trust those anymore.
