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.
They did this in Washington state to citizens during the Covid 19 summer riots.
This is nothing new for Trump. Stay strapped and alert at all times for the next 4 years.

Covid 19? Odd way to write BLM.
BLM happened because people were bored from the Covid 19 lock downs and hot because of the heat waves that summer.
Otherwise it would have fizzled out after a few weeks.
Right. That whole cop kneeling on a person’s neck until they died had nothing to do with it.
One of those things where dude is saying the driver died due to a crack in the road, but the car was doing 100 over the limit.
Sure, maybe the protests/riots would’ve been smaller without Covid, but…
I guess MAGAs are on Lemmy too.
Sure chief, how many nation wide riots have happened since Covid 19?
How many times have you seen a cop strangle someone to death for 9 minutes since Covid 19?
Do you think cops aren’t strangling minorities to death after Covid?
You think they are?
Post the video and I’ll riot.
Police abuse and murder of minorities happens all the time in America and no one riots or even bats an eye.
People were bored from sitting around during Covid and the massive heat wave that summer didn’t help.
