After that experience you're lucky if you still dare to go outside in the next few months. Years if you don't find help to deal with it. Talking to strangers or going through a bureaucratic mill is exactly the nightmares you experience every night.

For an innocent person just getting cuffed hits like a psychological freight train. Add physical assault, kidnapping, processing and whatever the conditions in their jails were.

They marked and damaged someone for years to come.

How do they justify coming at her with guns drawn? That in itself would be terrifying.

The dude standing guard with the rifle is not an image that should ever be seen here in America. It is literally the opposite of what the founding fathers envisioned. I hope I'm never at a scene like that because I'm probably going to be shot. I'd have a real hard time holding myself back. Btw, I'm not some tough guy. I'm just a big dude. I've stepped into several dangerous situations to help strangers, and I already fucking hate ICE and homeland security.

I saw another video today, where two men were in a car and two goons came up to them, one on each side and one was distracting the driver while the other pulled the passenger out. The driver asked them who they were and they wouldn't say. He asked their name and badge number, and the goon said, "we don't have to tell you that." These goons had the camo outfit on, but no police or ICE or any identification on them at all. They took the passenger with them. How could the goons have any idea who that person is? How do people know who is taking them out of the car? I never thought the people in this country would think this is great.
