Watch the clip. Police comes right up to her and arrests her on camera.

    Be armed and not let police haul fellow protesters off. These half measures are nothing but performative garbage.

      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.

        Not at all what I was getting at but you’ve proven that you aren’t united enough to stand against this tyranny and are still okay with hanging each other out to dry as long as you get to go home safe and sound. Agree with them or not but the Bundy standoff is a prime modern example of armed civilians uniting and running off law enforcement. Cowards are just speed bumps on the road to fascism. Live free or die trying.

          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.
