Even watching the video after reading the title my brain automatically thought she was getting lynched. It doesnt follow any of the rules a legal arrest has to follow. The ice is a lynch mob basically.
Not surprising since the US is a fascist state at this point
Comments like this irritate the fuck out of me. WHAT 'rules a legal arrest has to follow' are you referring to?
The part where you use reasonable force and tactics against reasonable people. This was a student, not fuckin Al Capone.
I was trying to water it down a bit and look at it from a somewhat centrist view but if i was gonna be completely honest then if i saw something similar to this on the street where i live id get a baseball bat and crack the skulls open of those fuckers. Tbf if you see something like this here in europe you basically have the right to defend that woman because shes getting assaulted. But this is a bit too radical for most people and my first comment gets the message across anyways.
