Watch the clip. Police comes right up to her and arrests her on camera.
Thankfully it seems like no one said this yet, so just inb4:
She was not stupid, nor useless or played into their hand. Be inspired and take example. Being arrested for a little bit is not that big of a price to pay for resisting tyranny.
More importantly, without blindly believing it will automatically come true, at least put the scenario where you win into your heads. Going to prison for what’s right can actually be liberating, if you think about it. And people can be taken out of prison too, together with all those that were imprisoned for getting or giving an abortion, those that immigrated “illegally” but spent decades contributing to the US’s society and economy, those that only had a bunch of weed on them, etc. Maybe even the whole “for-profit prison” concept may finally come to an end. Imagine that!
Fight back soon?

What do you think this lady was doing? What exactly do you suggest people do?
Walking around unarmed while being brown. I suggest people don’t do that.

You’re telling me that you would personally get into a shootout with law enforcement if they tried to arrest a fellow protester?
It’s easy to talk big from behind a keyboard.
The trolls around here never prop themselves up as an example, especially when suggesting escalation or even violence. They’re baiting the gullible and distracting everyone else from working on a better answer.
At a certain point we’ll have to.

By “the Bundy standoff,” I assume you mean the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge by Ammon Bundy and his followers? The event that law enforcement took an extremely hands-off approach to because everyone involved was white, and still ended up with one of the participants dead?
If the people who took part in that occupation had been anything other than rich, white, and strongly religious, they would have had tanks rolling in to clear them out.
If you’re talking about the other Bundy standoff, where Ammon’s father Cliven decided he didn’t want to pay to graze his cattle on public lands, lost every court case, and prevented the government from seizing his cattle by showing up with an armed militia… I don’t think a rich white sovereign citizen faces the same level of consequences from their actions as everyone else does.

You can’t trust anyone. Be extra careful about what you tell people as in this wretched police state you can never be sure if you could suddenly be arrested anything that you say.
Nazis like to make examples of people
Getting REAL close to my home fascist pig fucks. I am very please that my State is both concealed and open carry. This shit WILL NOT STOP until they start getting pushed back, HARD. I have been hearing chatter in the streets in regards to ‘while you are in the streets kidnapping us, who is watching your house’?
We need socialism
I’m all for socialism, but what exactly in social ownership of the means of production prevents this? This is plain authoritarian censorship, socialist or not.
A down-top socialist approach would give actual democratic control over “capital”, meaning for example that those who provide the news would control it independently from those who provide the food on people’s tables, and big decisions inside them would be taken democratically among the big number of workers.
The reason these police kidnappings happen is that right now those capitals are all controlled by a very small monopolistic elite, twisting the national democratic process, preventing people from having actual control even over the State. Thus, media, food and police are all working basically for the same few guys.
Hi, mod here.

Thanks for saying that. Yahoo tries to set millions of data harvesting cookies, it’s insane. Declining it means no video in this case.
This is the beauty of private tabs, they can set as many data harvesting cookies as they like, and the cookies are deleted when I close the window

Land of the free1, home of the brave

Land of the free
Whoever told you that is your enemy
That whole ass record goes exactly as hard today as it did on release.
(Rage Against the Machine’s self-titled debut, shit rips)
*Land of the Thief, home of the Slave
–Brother Ali
Yep, that came to mind, but I wanted to keep the original phrasing.
I think “brave” also needs a footnote.
Yeah, probably something along the lines of “only if you agree with someone’s ideology”; the same “Terms and conditions apply” also works.

What? The land of the free?

Bill Hicks had a joke that ended with, “You are free to do as we tell you.”
And now he’s dead.
To quote Tool’s liner notes from the Ænima album in reference to Hicks, “Another dead hero”
I’ll drink to that
My favorite album/song from my favorite band! 😍
Terms and conditions apply.
Good ol’ GRPD. They made a whole show on HBO Max to try to improve their image, and then they turn around and do shit like this.
Flashback to people getting arrested in the red square for holding a white piece of paper
Too bad she didn’t have a CCW, otherwise maybe she could have shot her kidnappers.
“You can beat the wrap, but you can’t beat the ride”
Or possibly losing your job, healthcare insurance, going bankrupt, etc.
Soon enough, those threats aren’t going to be relevant.
Presuming it was autocorrect, but it should be RAP, record of arrests & prosecutions.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rap sheet#dictionary-entry-1
I don’t see anywhere on there that gives the etymology as an abbreviation? Etymonline gives the following:
rap(n.)
early 14c., rappe, “a quick, light blow; a resounding stroke,” […] native or borrowed from a Scandinavian source
Slang meaning “a rebuke, the blame, responsibility” is from 1777; specific meaning “criminal indictment” (as in rap sheet, 1960) is from 1903
Thanks for the link.
Based on usage and spelling in my hometown of NYC, it’s always been RAP, as shown in the second example (presuming journalists of yesteryear knew how to spell).
The second example doesn’t give an abbreviation as the origin of the link to rap sheet, is what I was saying; records, arrests, and prosecutions to mean RAP instead of rap sounds like a backronym.
Yeah, that’s the real threat. An arrest record will absolutely jack up future background checks on future employment. Which you’re going to encounter since your current employer will drop you for being a no-show. That will leave you without health insurance, threatening your savings until you can get employed again. Which will be very hard to overcome due to high unemployment (in some markets) and that arrest record.
The fact that there’s a through-line from “no social safety net” all the way to “compliant populace” is worrying to say the least.
The thought police strike again.
I remember watching a video like this but it was on Reddit and it was top post. It was also happening in Moscow, not the USA.
“The country of freedom” accuses the other country of their censorship in media, but then it starts doing the same things.
Freedom my ass I say
