@marwilliamson The police are dealing with one person resisting arrest when she literally sticks her face inches from one of the officers. She is screaming and cussing at him.

FAFO.

Tell me how this is not the actions of a police state. Go on. I'll wait.
This police behavior has a specific strategy: to scare everyone away from exercising our right to protest. It is disgusting. This woman is not an enemy combatant; she's a citizen exercising her rights…

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

The statement '@DanChern Are we looking at the same video?' is a response in a thread discussing a contentious incident involving police and protesters. The statement questions another user's perspective or interpretation of the video evidence related to the incident. This is part of a broader conversation about police behavior and public protests, which is a significant issue in public discourse.
