It’s Hard to Believe This Video Was Filmed in the United States. It No Longer Should Be.

It shows, clearly, the explicit and proud policy of the Trump administration.

One of the men goes for her phone. The other grabs at her hands. Ozturk screams. Shock and fear ripple through her voice. Two masked women join them, tugging at her backpack, peeling the straps from her shoulders. “I’m going somewhere, I need to call someone,” she pleads. “We’re the police. Relax,” one of the men says in response.

They surround her. Then, one by one, they pull their neck gaiters up to cover their faces. “You don’t look like police,” a voice off screen says. “Why are you hiding your faces?” The questions continue, but the figures don’t respond. Instead, they cuff Ozturk, cross the street, and put her in an unmarked SUV. She is gone.

    Whether you BELIEVE her or not is irrelevant. Her stated policy was NOT in support of genocide, on the record, repeatedly.

    You can’t blame someone for supporting a genocide when they repeatedly tell you they aren’t.

    “Well, I don’t believe you.” Yeah and people don’t believe we landed on the moon either. That’s a problem with the thought process, not the person making the statement.

      And Joe Bidens stated policy was not in support of genocide either, was it. Because the laws dont care if a candidate supports it or not, its explicitly illegal. Biden got around that by claiming no genocide was occurring.

      Harris also said she couldnt think of anything she’d change from Bidens policies.

      And then when asked what about the genocide at a rally she said she believes in the protestors right to speak and said the war is real, but didnt say the genocide was. And then when asked again she said “I’m talking” and shut the person down. Sh always responded with a template which starts with, “I beleive Israel has a right to defend itself” and then she never said if a genocide was occurring, linking every abuse to “defense”, right out of the zionist marketing playbook.

      This is your promise of action, huh. This is your proof she was going to do stuff different?
