Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

National Guard troops seized Anna King, slamming her to the ground and leaving her with injuries that required surgery, according to a federal tort claim

A retired U.S. Army captain and Iraq War veteran is taking legal action after National Guard troops approached her outside her Washington, D.C. home, pushed her to the ground and detained her in an aggressive, caught-on-camera confrontation.

Anna King, who received a Purple Heart and Bronze Star for her service, was cornered on her front porch by three National Guard troops on the evening of May 8.

“Get away from me right now,” King can be heard telling the guards in footage taken on a Ring security camera. “You have absolutely no authority to detain me.”

Footage shared by the ACLU of the District of Columbia shows King trying to go inside her home as the men, three Idaho National Guard members, grab King and force her to the ground as she screams for them to get off her.

I hope they can't sleep at night. I hope their names are released, everyone they love disown them, and they end up unable to find a job, homeless and miserable. Being deployed by a tyrant into Washington DC to assault and arrest non violent protesters who happen to be real service member veterans is Nazi behavior.

Me too. They gave her nightmares and she has them every day, they should too.

Man I feel you but people like this won't ever feel like that. They go on to live rich and fulfilling lives and get to retire at 40 because they "served" by harassing civilians and going to weekend warrior training.

No sleep will ever be lost. They will be decorated and given cush jobs and fat bonuses and the whole 9 yards.

I don't say this to just be bleak and doomer centric or whatever I do it because we need to stop acting like these people have remorse for what they are doing. None of this will ever stop until we treat them ALL (law enforcement of any kind) like the subhuman pieces of garbage that they treat us all like.

I bet, that if as many cops and guardsmen were shot as civilians shot by them shit would start changing. If they feared for their fucking lives just like they make us fear for them every single second of every single day, it would start to change.

But it won't. Because people keep trying the whole "I hope they lose sleep over this!" Or whatever. They don't feel things like normal people do, or they would have never taken the job to put their boot on someone's throat.

His Idaho Redneck Potato Parents will be super proud of him, and the whole congregation will say a prayer for him in church on Sunday.

They don't give a fuck. They all volunteered for this.

We need to pay every one of these piece of shit maga states back. Deploy the NG and shut down their highways with constant checkpoints. Fuck their lives up like they did to us. Fucking lying evil motherfuckers.
