They were arrested for resisting arrest and driving without a registration, and their car or truck or gas powered mad max tricycle was towed.
Agreed, those cuffs were way too tight. People disconnected from reality don’t improve via violence.
How can you guys tell the difference between damage caused by tight cuffs vs. somebody spazzing out?
Someone missing a registration shouldn't be cuffed in the first place.
It’s not hard to believe that the police would intentionally harm someone who didn’t perfectly follow their instructions. I admit, this is a prejudiced take against the police.
I feel like that’s a false dichotomy because it implies there’s a valid reason for the government to physically hurt you. Sovcits have a few screws loose. On a bad day I might have a few screws loose. Do I deserve to be injured because I’m acting erratically? Where’s the line where it’s okay for the government to injure you on side and not okay on the other? I feel like that line is probably much closer to “actively shooting people” than “reacting poorly because they’ve lost connection with the reality of government.”
