I'm against police cars with the ghost graphics trying to hide out in ditches to catch speeders too. (they should also have to obey all traffic laws unless they have lights and sirens on too, but that's a different thread) When you agree to join the military/police/LEO of any kind, you are aware of the risks. Retribution has been a risk forever.
On the surface level, this was a college student with a legal visa whose only alleged crime was having opinions, and she was engaged in perfectly lawful activity of going to a place of worship when assaulted by men in hoodies and masks who claimed to be police officers.
That is wild. If I were her I would have been fighting for my life, assuming I was being kidnapped and I would keep fighting until uniformed officers showed up or I was incapacitated. Why would I believe that some strange men in hoodies and masks were cops?
Yes, I agree the arrest was scary for her. Like a kidnapping
Of course it was. That was the intent.
Why do you think the Government sent 15 vehicles and 25 SWAT team members to arrest a preacher? Most of the free speech warriors in this thread had no problem with it See
https://www.nationalreview.com/news/pro-life-activist-arrested-by-fbi-acquitted-on-federal-charges/Why do you think the J6 protesters were kept in prison without charges? Again, all quiet from the free speech warriors in this thread.
This is how the US government has always intimidated people, regardless of party.
Why do you think they sent a SWAT team to get Elian Gonzalez?
I am close to someone who worked for Enron. They sent several armed FBI agents to his house. It took him a few months to realize that they knew he was innocent. They were intimidating him right from the start, because they didn't want him testifying for Ken Lay.
The list is long. This is nothing new - doesn't make it right. But its not like we've crossed some new barrier here. This shi$ has been going on forever.
Maybe there will be some new 2A small government folks when this is all said and done. More likely, they will chase the new squirrel that Trump releases.
