Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.

Just Type it into your favourite search engine.

So, no?

If you make a claim, the burden of proof lies on you, not the other person to internet search for a mystery article.

Are you referring to the BLM protest arrests in 2020 or is there something current happening beyond this one instance?

I'm not saying this isn't bad, nor that it won't get worse, but if it's already worse, and you're making the claim that it is, I'd like to see some evidence of that.

fucking goof, just look it up

[–] y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Lol I tried all I got was how to report missing people to the FBI, lists of missing people unrelated to the gestapo, and articles about ice raids where the cops were in uniform.

There are already a lot of reports.

This post is one report.

The claim is that there are lots of reports of this happening.

I know about the 2020 plainclothes, masked, secret police kidnappings, and I know of this one. Are there others, or was the "lots of reports" just made up?

Edit: grammar. removed a (hopefully) unnecessary comma

Beside the fact, that the SA never worn face masks. You still have time to fight against this, the moment these people will not wear any masks anymore, you'll live in a fully fascist country.
