    In the criminal complaint, the police department says Mari was “verbally interjecting herself into the investigation,” and that she was “flexing her upper body” before she was “escorted to the ground” by officers.

    Escorted to the ground?! Seriously?

    Not a day goes by that ICE isn’t making me draw mental comparisons to the Nazi SA (brown shirts). All of these scumbags deserve to be prosecuted once the regime falls.

    Because that’s their real purpose, to terrorize and intimidate Americans into submitting to this fascist regime

    Pretty sure the little shit had a little hard on doing that. Takes a big man in combat gear to body slam a small innocent woman. These guys just scream insecurity.

      They are really the most pathetic of the pathetic.

      Not only are they people who can’t face how worthless they actually are so blame their problems on immigrants, and not only do they lack the imagination to solve problems without violence, but lack the backbone to do it without being protected by the entire federal government.

      The country is being run and policed by people who could not meet the standards of a McDonalds employee.

        Ok, let me rephrase.

        Come on 2A enthusiasts. Do that thing you said you were going to do when faced with fascism

          They said it but they didn’t mean it. They probably didn’t even really understand it. One lesson I’ve learned from this is that I’m never again going to be able to listen to what anyone says with any degree of credibility. From now on, I will always be watching like a hawk to see if people’s actions are actually backing up what they say, because recent years have revealed to me how many dishonest and ignorant people there are and how banal that kind of evil really is. Actions do speak louder than words.

          Although even actions can be dishonest, in a lot of cases, that’s simply too much work for people. They have no interest in any deliberate effort to hide their true nature. Lazy, low-effort evil is the most harmful kind because it’s the most widespread. It’s not the just the sneaky, devious Machiavellian snakes, they’re part of it too, but they are few and far between. They only have the power they have because of the ignorant masses who can’t be bothered to care and aren’t bothered by being part of something evil because they’re “just following orders” or “just having a little fun” or “just making ends meet” or “not being political” or whatever other excuses they make to justify it.

            They never really meant it. The cons don’t stand for anything but power for the in-group and harm to the out-group.

      I’m here but I’m looking for the video. The article mentions video but only shows two still photos. People always say they didn’t do anything but people lie. Often the police lie and often civilians lie. Show us the video of blatant police violating rights and we’ll rally to destroy their life. I’ve been a civil rights and police accountability activist for years.

        We know enough that the whole operation should be terminated and everyone involved investigated.

        If no one is willing to do that…. 🤷‍♂️

      You might beat the rap, but you can also google the cop and then beat the shit out of your oppressor on his front porch in front of his wife and children.
