I know that the "cool" thing on Lemmy is to shit on police and whatnot, but we have zero context here. No clue what's happening other than her arguing and getting pulled out of her car.
the context is she blocked their car from leaving with a detained migrant so they arrested her for "impeding"
now does that make it justifiable to you? depends - do you think somebody preventing "undesirables" from being kidnapped by the gestapo justifies arrest or not?
"but they're just following orders, if she didn't want to get arrested she shouldn't have gotten in their way of carrying out the law"....
I just don't want us to get stuck in this thought trap where we see a cop and think "bad guy" every time. I've know and been friends with cops all over the US and I can say that a majority of them are just chill dides that care about their community. As for ICE (which I believe are the people in this video) I haven't interacted with any of them. It seems like a certain type of people sign up for that job though.
I still don't really know the full story of this clip so I can't make a judgement call on it. I'm leaning towards her side but I'm not 100% on that. I just wish more people would react with their brain instead of their heart.
Then it sounds like you're behind actual reality. Because this is the world now.
To be honest it's hard to tell if a lot of leftists aren't capable of avoiding that thought trap, or they're just on edge from so many insane trumpers saying "hold on guys maybe ice didn't do something wrong here" and then being insanely racist 1 second later. My guess is both.
How's the boot taste, brand new account?
Brother I fear you've swung so far that you're now licking the ass instead of the boot.
What you have said has made me reconsider everything I know about the world.
Thank you so much.
