OMG... this just stinks and has Gestapo written all over it....

F***ING Disgusting 😡

@victorvonvortex ...splash this video high and low...it is a despicable display authoritarian stupidity.....this should definitely not be happening in America

@victorvonvortex

This is why my sympathy for Capitol Police was limited on Jan 6.

They don't deserve to be beaten with poles, but they're still cops and not your friend.

@victorvonvortex we owe those protesters so much
<3

@victorvonvortex

Who is that coward in the picture?

@victorvonvortex
I've got to understand why they were zip tied? Were those cops afraid they would be run over and beat up by elderly folks in WHEEL CHAIRS?
@victorvonvortex I'm confused about what practical use hand-cuffing someone with something like ALS serves. I mean, the stormtroopers aren't really about critical thought, but they're not protecting anyone here.

@victorvonvortex

Have not seen a more vile and nasty pointless display of power lately…

Despicable.

@victorvonvortex wat een ‘fout’ land is Amerika geworden..
@victorvonvortex That police officer zip-tying the person in the wheelchair must feel really proud of themselves. /s
Do they zip-tie other protesters' legs as well cause that's basically what you do when hand-cuffing someone in a wheelchair. Disgusting!
@victorvonvortex @Voline On wheelchair and zip-tied. Truly pathetic. How low can these people go? There are no values anymore. No respect.
