This was the seen in Philly today. This happened about 5 hours ago. An exceedingly peaceful protestor trying to be nice to police and military deployed was going around handing out flowers. She was immediately arrested for doing so. No violence of any kind... she offered a flower, the military guy reached out to accept it, BAM, down for arrest.
She is a well known Kindergarten Teacher here and apparently arrested for crossing the barriers even though clearly non violent.
They wonder why people are rioting.. this shit right here.
@freemo Yeah you're not allowed to cross the barriers
@DuchessOfMars whatever theri reason if their goal is to deescelate the situation they just failed.
I also get this feeling this is some kafkatrap for the police.
On one hand they either enforce the law and arrest people crossing barriers errected implying that people should stay out in this troubeling time. And get shit on for detaining somehone.
On the otherhand if they didn't and let the person in question off with a warning or a small slap on the wrist. ( I hate bringing up gender and race, but thats impossible with things related the USofA right now ) people would give them shit for allowing a white women to get away things like this.
This said, I am not going have any strongly held opinions on this incident. I have NFC what the intent was of the parties involved.
@freemo
That's Russia, or some other police state, right there.
@freemo Everyon is so on edge right now
