The footage of Rumeysa Ozturk’s arrest is a familiar sight for those of us who lived in countries with authoritarian regimes. In the video, Ozturk, a Turkish woman completing her Ph.D. studies at Tufts University, is approached on a sidewalk in Sommerville, Mass., by several plainclothes officers from the Department of Homeland Security while she was on her way to break her Ramadan fast with friends on Tuesday night. One hooded officer grabs her hands and arms as another officer, masked, approaches from her side. Clearly afraid, Ozturk is eventually handcuffed and taken to a black S.U.V.

Just watched one get arrested. Her crime was being at a protest where some vandalism occurred. She was not part of that.
This is now a police state. Make no mistake.

If 20 white supremacist are protesting for whatever reason two of them set a black man's car on fire should all of them be charged?

Is this a serious question?
You really take basic whataboutism to wild, imaginative extremes.

Tell you what fuckwad - you fly to London and protest Islam. see what happens?
If 20 white people are together anywhere, the left would want them charge - for being white in public.

And then even the violent ones trump pardoned. I guess the rule of law only matters when it's aimed at anyone but trumptards.

No. But if they tresspass and shit on the floor of a government building they should be. You know... like your fellow trumptards did 1/6/21.

Do you think that's really a good "gotcha" attempt?
We've gotta set the bar higher, I think.

Shaken, not stirred!
This type of crap you'd read about from people who survived the Stasi in Communist East Berlin, or in the old USSR, or the apartheid government in South Africa, or the Pinochet gov't in Chile or from those who survived the Savak in Iran under Shah Pavil, etc., etc.

Oh yeah, we're in a Constitutional crisis, dear readers. We've been there ever since the enactment of the Patriot Act and the creation of Homeland Security. The current christo-fascist gov't under Cheeto Jeezus and his Apartheid Punk is just getting warmed up.
But if Americans remember the lessons of Ghandi and King, it doesn't have to be.
