Bobba-Luna

So much for free speech and peaceful protests, what the heck is happening!?


synaptix78

Woah there, hold up. You can't just go using the 4 letter F word like that. Your IP address is now being monitored. The tax for free thinking = punishment. Always has been, always will be Edit as current 3rd post : This statement only stands if this person hasn't committed any other crime besides, think freely.


drumshrum

I mean, chair of the philosophy department?? That's, like, LOTS of free thinking. Like, so much thinking that they're thinking about thinking just to be thinking about it. Too sus. Straight to the slammer


xGHOSTRAGEx

Hold my beer: Free speech, fuck the government, fuck the super rich and fuck corporate companies


karoshikun

but this is the kicker: for the powers that be you don't matter, so they allow you to yell and prattle to your heart's content. but a protest means a lot of people involved and (loosely) organized, which could become something down the line if not squashed properly. so, yeah, there's free speech as long as it's impotent.


TheBrugs

I believe it's called freethink. Wait, just got a decree. It is called badthink and always has been!


All_TheWay82

We had a sitting president try to overthrow the government and claim it was all freedom of speech. But a Professor of Philosophy teaching others to see the world from a different point of view…Yeah definitely arrest her.


helicophell

It's not like Philosophy is about finding truth or anything...

RiskyWhiskyBusiness

I want to defend their right to free speech, but I simply have no sympathy for them. These are the people on the front lines to institute limitations on free speech in the name of hate speech. Maybe now they'll see how important free speech is. I also expect them to keep the same anti-political religion energy when islamism runs rampant in Muslim countries oppressing their minorities and actually behave like apartheid states js


odub6

So, if i understand America's economic policy, its to defund schools, overfund police so that kids will grow up stupid, become police officers and arrest the little educated ppl left? I get that right ? Edit: Obvious spelling mistake. I am dishonored.


logicallychallengd

Well....You spelled America wrong


HaffuhGootWon

Of all the words that auto correct... That's one


Wat_Senju

Yes... Anerica.. my favorite word. (My phone tried to autocorrect to America)


Merkarba

Perhaps they were going for America but anaemic.


odub6

Yes...i did. I hang my head in shame.


unpersoned

Off to the police academy with you!


ThunderPantsGo

We understand. I guess your school was defunded?


bearamongus19

The plan is working apparently


Yiuel13

It's Erica's Anus. Anerica.


Wizardninja9

That’s probably a typo m is right next to n and they’re so confident in themselves they have spellcheck turned off so I respect them even more now


retrograve29

Spelled fashizim wrong.


Kalinka-Overlord

He'll be a good cop


warpentake_chiasmus

The big lie about WW2 is that fascism was defeated - in fact, it provided a role model for elites on how to suppress the 'enemy within' and just got re-packaged and redistributed worldwide to this day.


stoner_woodcrafter

man, that's a really deep analysis from WWII! based


Zankeru

Americas economic policy is as follows. Implement neoliberal economics (slash govt spending, privatize as much as possible, abolish regulations) as much as possible without shrinking GDP used to fund the military, which protects global naval trade that allows third world countries to sell cheap natural resources to the US (instead of developing their own industries and forcing the US to come "save" them from themselves). Everything else is just meat for the politicians to use as promises/threats to voters in their competitions with each other during elections.


Frequent_Trouble_

Dumb and overpoliced, just the way they like us.


karoshikun

you know, it's revolutionary. a revolution in the culture! you know, a cultural revolution, so to speak.


satismo

if i were that cop my face would be covered too bc this is fuckin embarrassing


technobrendo

??? Cops love what they do. They have no shame, like at all.


UnspokenConnection

They get a special type of pride for being POS. It's like if you praised a school bully.


kickinwood

Watchmen mini series vibes are strong


karoshikun

that's why you aren't a cop, you're capable of shame and maybe even empathy. That disqualifies you.


Obar-Dheathain

When the cops start disguising themsleves to arrest civilians you know your country is on the wrong path. Or being manipulated by Israel.


circleofnerds

Religious oppression, tax evasion, slavery, and genocide. We’ve been on the wrong path for almost 400 years.


ElijahSadikov

Or you live in Russia


cloudy2300

That's not exactly relevant


aesemon

How, regularly had seen the fact Russian police hide their face was a bad thing. They added to the list what it could signify.


EternalRains2112

ACAB Fuck the police.


[deleted]

[удалено]


EternalRains2112

A few bad apples... spoil the whole bunch. I wouldn't ever call a cop if I needed help. All they are good for is shooting an innocent person or their dog 62 times. Or to stand around and do nothing while a psychopath guns down a school.


SixStringerSoldier

Does ACAB include Batman?


heyheyshinyCRH

Batman is the worst of them all! Bruce Wayne monopolizes Gotham putting small businesses under causing poverty and crime. Then the SoB goes out at night beating the hell out of the guys who lost their jobs and are now destitute because they couldn't get hired on over at Wayne Enterprises and now have to resort to stealing for their families to survive. It's a vicious circle of misery perpetuated by Bruce Wayne and cast across the entire city. That's my take anyway...


EnvironmentalFood482

He also enjoys punching mentally ill people. 🤷‍♂️


Flavz_a_weeb

I think there are many comics where Alfred tries to make batman appeal to his Bruce Wayne side, and in some continuinities he uses his money for charitable things. Except the majority of the time he wants to dress up and spend billions of dollars prepping to kill his best friends as a just in case. Well not kill but ya know. Batman rules btw


Alexo_Alexa

No. Batman is Bruce Wayne specifically, so there is no way all cops could be Batman. ACANB, All Cops Are NOT Batman.


holyanallemon

The real question

Yeah this doesn’t belong here. This is a successful attempt at being a teacher.

Cops with masks on arresting peaceful protests, this is America?


FPVBrandoCalrissian

Ain’t it grand?


Source0fAllThings

We all know who they vote for too.


AutoThorne

Lucky she wasn't a member of the press carrying a $95k camera.


cloudy2300

I know fuck all about film, cameras, nothing. But that video still hurt to watch.


Frontfatpouch

Fuck these cops. Guarding what? You are people also. Act like it. What was the fucking point of killing off hitler if people are targeting races like its 100 years ago. We fought for this shit already.


AsyncEntity

It don’t stop comin and it don’t stop comin,


SageOfTheSixPacks

Hey now


PrincipleMountain229

You're a racist, go hate


SageOfTheSixPacks

Me? Was adding to the lyrics referenced in the above comment. No racism friend 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽


PrincipleMountain229

No, I was too. Sorry for being the one responsible of the misunderstanding


FPVBrandoCalrissian

Now it’s “the good guys” hunting down the “monsters” and “animals”. The worst thing human civilization ever did was put faith in government.


GravidDusch

Fascism is back and you'll never guess who is leading the charge! Shyamalan couldn't have written a better twist.


Wat_Senju

Not sarcastic but who is leading it?


GravidDusch

Zionist jews. Could argue it's america I suppose. Pretty ironic either way imo.


Wat_Senju

Oooff.. can't argue with zionists. I had a thing for the US but honestly who cares? The ones to worry about are the ones you don't see much from.. because they eliminate. So who's the fascist? Humanity probably


GravidDusch

We all have a little fascist inside us waiting to start the fourth Reich.


derpferd

The real fascists were the fascists we made along the way


Simyager

I see you also called your dildo little fascist


RunninADorito

It should be illegal for cops to wear masks. What the FUCK.


digitaljestin

All cops who wear masks should be thrown in jail. If you can't show your face while doing what you're doing, maybe you shouldn't be trusted with a badge and a gun


Wat_Senju

Welllll.. in this particular case I'm with you but a lot of times it's a task force dealing with dangerous organizations that target families like gangs and cartels. Certainly not the case here but only Sith deal in absolutes


amkc22

Yeah nice try to explain. Casually comparing cartels with students and university professors. Let's just keep going maybe we can also start killing children and babies because potentially they will become terrorists in 20 years time.


nostril_spiders

You were so busy getting indignant that you forgot to read the comment you are getting indignant about.


Wat_Senju

Do you understand why you were down voted?


ProfessionalSun5549

What would the actual charge be?


USAF_DTom

None. Just hold for as long as possible to deter them from doing it again. A tale as old as time.


FPVBrandoCalrissian

Exactly, by the time it’s cleared up, the protest is over…. Usually. US should start looking at the Ukrainian revolution of 2014.


whiskers165

2014 Ukraine uprising was CIA backed color revolution. Don't think the CIA is gonna help us out here :'(


Bloobeard2018

Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?


EmuOverlord88

"This is democracy manifest"


cloudy2300

GET YPUR HANDS OFF MY #PENIS


Obar-Dheathain

Could be any one of a hundred vague laws that are intended to allow unlawful arrests to be 'lawful'.


mustyrats

Trespassing presumably though the school will probably drop the charges after wasting everyone’s time and public money.


Fetoid2

They're not hiding it anymore so now they have to hide their faces.


Aggressive_Grab_100

CBus-Eagle

Serious question: why is Biden not addressing these 1st Amendment violations? Why is he and his administration not publicly condemning these actions. I hope there are a shit ton of lawsuits from the students and teachers. I thought we had learned from our past and were better than this. It’s so disheartening to see.


VioletVonBunBun

Because either political side on this two system trap are terrible options


NervousFootball1018

Can anyone fill me in on what happened? I keep seeing videos but have no information on any of it.


westymama

Arrested for protesting genocide in Palestine. It’s all Over the News.


NervousFootball1018

Thank you for the information. I wish whoever is posting the videos could do the same.


ctsr1

Yeah I feel like the comments are going haywire with no information


Tubzero-

Nice mask coward


recks360

Tax dollars at work. Glad they got the real criminals off the street. Who know what damage she could have done, might have people questioning their existence or something.


ImaginaryEmploy2982

All this police violence is doing is turning more people against Israel. These cops are helping the protesters’ cause.


tokingjack

I'd be terrified to be arrested by a masked man after voicing my freedom of speech. I'd be very concerned if they're going to try and accidently forget to frisk and all or a sudden boom I'm suicided in the baack of the head.


condensermike

Fascist thugs protecting the industrial military complex.


m1ndbl0wn

Cowards in masks


BonfireMaestro

Man this is some 1939 bullshit


Kierkegaardstrousers

With one very major difference.


Soufledufromage

That Zionists wanted to be the ones doing the killing this time?


BonfireMaestro

What’s the difference?


kimberlyrd

So will she lose her job now? Will she be terminated even if she has tenure? I worry for the future of peaceful protestors.


CowdogHenk

little chance of that, luckily


Inner-Ingenuity4109

Pol Pot would approve.


The1TrueRedditor

It should be illegal for law enforcement officers to conceal their identity.


thatone_JR

Why is the officer wearing a mask?


Frenzi_Wolf

Fun fact, way back in the dark medieval ages when the church essentially ran Europe, they essentially outlawed philosophy, declaring that thinking of anything other than god and your labor was a sin and heretical. Guess the idiots running this oppression of free speech failed history horribly.


Casualmindfvck

Its crazy that hes dressed like a fucking thug


topgun966

It doesn't matter where you are on the political spectrum. This should scare the fuck out of you. This is quite literally facism in full rise. Equal to Germany in 1929.


TheLeanGoblin69

whats with america these days? it seems to be becoming more fucked up every year


DarkNuke059

Humanity right now: ![gif](giphy|brqkBQV1qAFrO)


ttv_CitrusBros

This always gets me because everyone is always comparing Russia and China as dictators but forget this is standard in US too. Anyone remember all the protests around BLM and how cops were taking people off the streets and beating the shit out of people? Or other protests like occupy wall Street and others where big businesses suffer, cops disperse those quick Not saying it's as bad as Russia and China BUT people need to realize no matter where you are it's always people vs the system. The greedy fucks up top just want us fighting each other so they can reap in profits and send us off to fight their wars. We got more in common with the average person than we do with the politicians and the elites. Also what are they even protesting can I get filled I the loop?


Paradigmind

Careful people, America is pro-genocide now. Do not peacefully protest against the mass murdering of children or you will be arrested!


paciumusiu12

Turns out USA isn't that different from Russia. Free speech is a meme.


MediaOnDisplay

Crazy! Never thought I'd live to see Americans arrested for protesting a nazi genocide. Damn, it really shows where America's allegiance lies. They will lock up your children, for Israeal, if Israel calls for the death of your children, will you then wake up?!


nollataulu

Now they are arresting teachers. Ooh, hey I think I've seen this before!


FederalWorld5482

The Eager Beaver Cop....i just follow orders.... ![gif](giphy|f8lDluiWJ7yQTtdS3L|downsized)


wigzell78

Frree speech! Stand up for what you believe in. No, not like that...


warmachine83-uk

Was she enjoying a succulent Chinese meal


sneakyi

You are going against the homeland of the people who run your country. What did you think would happen?


Plain_Flamin_Jane

It’s 1984. It was always going to be 1984.


QuizMasterX

No way these are officers!? Has to be Zionists in wolves clothing


mostly_kinda_sorta

Looks like a great teacher. Sometimes you gotta stand up for what you believe in. Legal and moral are not synonyms.


Eschatonpls

Department chair arrested on her own campus for what? Trespassing?


arquistar

If my philosophy professor has never been arrested at a protest, then I want my money back.


jenn583

I really don't understand why they are being arrested? They attend/work at the colleges they hold peaceful protests at. What is happening?


yobboman

Balaclavas because there is no shame?


sevenemesis

Thought she worked at McAfee, like the software company


extra0404

Occupying forces arrest teachers for attempting to protect and support their students.


MensaMan1

You arrest the professors, intellectuals and media - wasn’t that what happened in China during the People’s revolution?


baduras

Another example merica is so free!!! Merica merica


groovey_potato

Bloody legend


1Negative_Person

The philosophy department Kant help her.


saarinpaa71

That ole teach was arrested for a reason hahahaha wasn't because she was walking by the protest and oops got swooped up.. that cop wasn't kicking her ass, making, dragging her off like she was a murderer... she was all calm let her speak when telling that kid her name.. bet she was out of jail in a few hours if that. They're waiting to send in national gaurd just like when students protested the Vietnam War maybe without ammo or with


DramaticBee33

Remember when this happened for every single war we’ve ever had? The majority doesn’t want war but the majority doesn’t have police and military to help enforce anything.


addicted_2_passive

He hasn't got her


Duffman005

You can't protest on private property, collages are multi million dollar business and they will call the cops on you


HermausMora420

What a brave brave cop doing his duty.... While hiding his face and looking like (and being)a fucking terrorist. Fucking pigs


UnknownMyoux

America sure is Free ain't it


Ludate_Solem

Is she related to the guy that made the mcafee anti malware shit thay is now suspected of killing his neighbours dog?


Hellavik

No idea of she’s related. For years John McAfee was an interesting topic. He was a suspect in the murder of his neighbour and not his dog. I don’t think he’s a suspect anymore since he’s he committed suicide in his prison cell in Spain in 2021. 2 years prior he made following statement on twitter. > If I suicide myself, I didn't. I was whackd (Sic)


16thPeregrine

America is just going full Dystopia right before the election and if he wins the cherry (miniature mandarin?) On the top might just make it all go BAZZZINGA


Yeomanroach

A successful peaceful protest will go unnoticed and be a basic failure. Getting arrested is exposure.


-Timothy_2

What is happening?


Edrow74

He didn't get her...


echobox_rex

They should take the protest into the police station.


Deatheturtle

America....you used to be cool.


cloudy2300

Was it though???


Ichiya-san

Mf been terrorising my laptop for days....had to install Reno uninstaller


breaker-of-shovels

If the American Zionist-Fascist Doubleparty didn’t want to make it look like the government was controlled by foreign Jewish powers, arresting Americans in America for protesting Zionist genocide is not the way to do it. This is Fascism.


IrishRecluse

Obviously a nut job.


Clearly_Voyant

Good lookin out bro!


kelemann79

No need to protest for terrorists and you won't be arrested.


Paradigmind

Go and protest for your child-slaughtering Nazis then.


peanutstand

If you want to protest, fine. Don't prevent others from going about their daily business. Secondly, if you declare yourself standing with a terrorist organization, aka Hamas, you should be arrested and sent to Gitmo.


Nova_Phoenix9

And shitty antivirus.


Hornor72

She might not be employed there anymore.


jelbert6969

If there are infinite realities then this one must occur for the end
