John Lewis would be proud

good trouble

Proud of imaginary handcuffs?



Mentioning AOC and John Lewis in the same breath is laughable (and frankly disrespectful to John Lewis). You fell for the okiedok.

…Seventeen lawmakers were arrested at the demonstration near the Supreme Court, according to U.S. Capitol Police.
…
Among those arrested were Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Carolyn Maloney of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Cori Bush of Missouri, Veronica Escobar of Texas, Jackie Speier and Barbara Lee of California, and Ayanna Pressley and Katherine Clark of Massachusetts. The lawmakers said they were engaging in an act of civil disobedience.
…
Speier, 72, said in a statement that she had “never been arrested before, but I can hear the late, great Congressman John Lewis imploring me to ‘make some noise and get in good trouble.’”…

She can hear dead people?

Sounds about right.

I think you actually enjoy setting yourself up for rightful ridicule and suffer from gelotophilia.

Not really, but I learned a new word today. So thanks gutter!

I think AOC is a clown. I think fake handcuffs for the cameras and made for TV arrests = clown show.

I do agree with their cause though. I do not agree with some abortions being illegal in certain states.

Think, know, feel, whatever. In some ways I agree she's a clown.
In others, I feel she is well intentioned and SOMETIMES I agree with her.

I'm curious, I'm not trying to come up with a whataboutism but I'm wondering what you "think" of people such as MTG and Boebert and how often you express it publicly.

Anyway/s, let's get back to AOC and "fake handcuffs".
Her words.... “If I was faking that, why would I intentionally first pump somebody? It’s so silly.”

You and I and many/most others may feel she was faking being in handcuffs but.....Do we know for a FACT she was faking being in handcuffs? She probably was but I can't prove it.
Do we know if she was told to put her hands behind her back? She probably wasn't but I can't prove for a fact if she was or wasn't.
Regardless, it's probably not as uncommon as we may think - for people to put their hands behind their backs when being "detained" by law enforcement. Sort of as an expression of I'm complying and not resisting.

That is exactly what I would do in that situation. There is no chance I would want to walk in my regular manner and risk having my hand accidentally brush a police officer. Hell, even the natural motion of your arm swinging away from the officer could be escalated to "they were trying to resist arrest and get away from me". They would be perfectly within their right to state that they felt I was making a move for their weapon and to forcibly escalate the situation or worse. Your best bet for not having that situation escalated by an overly zealous officer is over the top compliance and submission.

But people who have a problem with her will always see it through that lens and always assume her intentions were for attention. Such is life.

She got a $50 fine.

They stopped traffic for a whopping 20 entire minutes.

Good trouble.

Looks like it was exactly what I thought it was.

"Putting your hands behind your back is a best practice while detained, handcuffed or not, to avoid escalating charges like resisting arrest."

The rules regarding resisting a police office are especially stringent in D.C. AOC was wise to do nothing that could be considered resistance.
