Did the poo on the grass and write on something with it?

Ah yes, protesting while black. One of the USA's most illigal crimes.
ColmMeaney
I've said it once, but the USA is f***ed until you the American people stop voting in politicians that allow this to happen
LightStriker
"Where was the police during the storming of the Capitol?" - Being killed?
Archid0rk
Was this today, or last before elected?
immortalbucket
When you can’t pass a voting rights bill you’re democracy might be over.
Gryphonosiris
Sure, they arrest a black rep for protesting for voting right, but let white reps who tried to over throw the government go free...
IUpvoteEveryNicholasCageGIF
Basically gets a slap in the wrist for punishment. 3 months in prison for stoming a capitol but a lifetime sentence for being.. you know.
IUpvoteEveryNicholasCageGIF
Fuck Da Police. I've been absent for nearly 2 years, maybe 3, from the internet and this shit doesn't even surprise me anymore. Pigs.
VinnyVeritas
Where were the police? From the look of it this cop was at the doughnut shop
CoarseAndSalty
I don't care if he shivved someone. We have traitors voting against voting rights and we're arresting a congressman for fighting for them.

Well, there were police on the 6th. They were being murdered/attempted murdered.

I guess next time bring a gallows and spears/ clubs fashioned from American flags.
Flodos
Still got the wrong skin tone for that to work. But, yaknow, CRT is a hoax pushed by commies, amirite?
stewgru
Was this yesterday? Was at the capital but didn’t see anything
reginageorge1
Well, you see, they were black, so it got shut down long before anyone killed officers and broke into the building with zip ties and a noose
stewgru
Ah. Was wondering how I was right there but saw nothing. Makes sense lol
Shesroyal524
This is the day when they were voting to pass voting rights and the fillibuster

Really confusing..1- a black Republican? 2- a Republican protesting for votingrights? 3- a black cob arresting a black congessman?
BubblesTheFish
Rep. means house representative. the (D-NY) means Democrat from New York.
Ploty
Thanks , that's cleared up
Tanrir
Rep in the case is Representative, not Republican. Bowman is a democrat from New York
Ploty
Thanks that point has cleared up
Rainbowdaesh
In the crowd. Obviously.
LegendaryUpdootFairy
Remember that when the fascists sieze power, they will use their previous failures to justify future oppressions.
MattyMakes
Well, it is a good old American Tradistion
BurlRavenscroft
Oh, so you can arrest a congressman
Trelfar
Well this was serious. It's not like he tried to bring a gun onto the House floor.
NotTodayMF
If they are black...yes
fatcatdeadrat101
I'm confused. Did the protest turn violent? Did they trespass on and damage government property? Did they beat a cop to death?
Philosopherott
No, that is why he was arrested.

It was reported that he and others were warned 3 times to not block a barricade before they were arrested.
mity0k23
They refused to stop blocking a driveway. You know, real felonious shit.
Tarmaccian
Having organized protests, I'd bet this was actually intentional. It gets good pictures and headlines, raising awareness and sympathy.
CocaineAndSelfPleasure
It absolutely is. Symbolic arrests are part of most organized protests.
fformulaa
'they began making arrests because demonstrators had “started blocking one side of the North Barricade outside the U.S. Capitol”'

No, he's just not a fascist and also not white.
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
He committed the worst crime possible in America: Trying to be black and be treated with dignity as a human being.

This is the future that BLM and Antifa want!

Those two should team up. I really want to join BLAM!!!.

Did they smear fecal matter on the walls. Did they loot and steal history and take pictures with their feet on people's desk.
mjh29822
Did they steal computers with classified information on it and tried to sell it to our enemies.

Peaceful civil disobedience gets you arrested. Violence and insurrection gets excuses and justifications.
PirateArrrgument
No, being noticed bucking the system as a minority gets you arrested.
firehawkcultist
Fighting for rights and equality gets you arrested, fighting for fascism gets you a slap on the wrist
death4665
Depends on who, if MLKs group did the same thing as MAGA, We'd have Black people labeled as Terrorists to this day
TalkingSnake
As opposed to….
kwyjiboner
The secret ingredient is that there isn't enough law enforcement to stop the masses united.
TheLastBootyBender
And why weren't there enough? Who denied the requests for assistance?
thevortexmaster
I watched a guy arrested the other day with other people just holding signs to stop old growth logging at Fairy Creek. No reason at all
awkwardbeautiful
The powers that be really don’t like the peasants protesting.They keep tweaking laws to make it illegal without saying protesting is illegal
n8vakn80
And a national news tour apparently
Bren249
No, it's cause the captiol riot, the cops were scared and overwhelmed. They had no back up. If they had back up if would have been different
ilhares
TheNLK
I mean, I get what you are saying, but they are also getting prison sentences now. Same shit probably would have happened if trump didn't1/2
TheNLK
prevent it for so long 2/2
TalkingSnake
Trumpo was in office for 14 days afterward. The system treating the insurrectionists with kid gloves is the way the system works.
TheNLK
Well, as a result of trump preventing the national guard from doing jack shit, nothing was prevented, and none were arrested on the day. 1/2
TheNLK
But with time, many were arrested through investigation. There's a limit to what is possible, and yes some judges are fucking dumb as always
thatsbadmmkay
*if you're white
Bren249
It's. Case by case. Your comment is invalid. The cop arresting him is literally black aswell!
SaItyEuropean
I was not aware the +700 (and counting) idiots that got procecuted since last year where actually black
thatsbadmmkay
Your tears nourish me
MapleSyrupMafia
They're getting a slap on the hand for the most part...
zubax
By a black cop. I'm black and even I am confused.
TheS4ndm4n
That's why he was arrested. Not shot in the back 17 times for not following contradicting orders.
necroticon
Two for one special, class traitor *and* race traitor!
BabyJebusCripes
In racist circles this is called being "one of the good ones".
stupidandre
They were trying to get arrested for the media photo's. Cop probably had no choice by this stage
WhatUpDog3000
cop is a cop
SaturnineCult
I think the bigger problem is when cop decides not to follow his orders because the person is certain color.

Specifically for this picture. Optics are considered by both sides. Guy was probably ordered to.
Rainbowdaesh
As the warrior poet Ice Cube once said, “Black police showin' out for the white cop”
ElviraQueenOfDarkness
Cop doing what he is being told. Could also be a way to "teach him his place" by a superior. Or so they can"black cops are on our side too"
madeit
Or he's just doing his job.
ElviraQueenOfDarkness
That is what I refer to in the first line. He is doing his job and if you want to think maliciously he is being used.
