One of the men goes for her phone. The other grabs at her hands. Ozturk screams. Shock and fear ripple through her voice. Two masked women join them, tugging at her backpack, peeling the straps from her shoulders. “I’m going somewhere, I need to call someone,” she pleads. “We’re the police. Relax,” one of the men says in response.

They surround her. Then, one by one, they pull their neck gaiters up to cover their faces. “You don’t look like police,” a voice off screen says. “Why are you hiding your faces?” The questions continue, but the figures don’t respond. Instead, they cuff Ozturk, cross the street, and put her in an unmarked SUV. She is gone.

    You think the US is the only autocratic place on Earth? The remainder of the Democratic West isn’t going to start policing every regressive regime on the planet, starting with the biggest military on the planet.

      I didn’t say that, you imagined it. And i know they’re not, hence the question. Got anything that might actually further the discussion or just crap?
