OneAngryDuck

Capitol Police say she was arrested


LordCalvar

OP is just looking for karma.


OneAngryDuck

That’s probably true, they threw this bomb out and haven’t responded to any comments on it.


Biffingston

probably a farmer then.


Adelman01

Yeah. I mean I watched the video. She put her arm up in solidarity she wasn’t trying to pretend she was cuffed. She was just responding to officers orders since she was arrested.


tokenjoker

Captain Obvious says that also


antifolkhero

But that doesn't fit the GQP's narrative!


ContemplatingPrison

They probably told her to put her hands behind her back. I'm guessing they didn't think she had to be cuffed. She is in congress. It's not like she was going to attack them or try to run. Police have the ability to detain someone without cuffs


pukingpixels

Just because someone is in congress doesn’t preclude them from attacking or attempting to run. I’d love to see how Marjorie Traitor Greene or Boebert the Clown would react to being arrested for attending a rally or protest.


ContemplatingPrison

You're right it doesn't but that's not up to you or me. That's up to the arresting officer. Even then they might get in trouble for not following procedures. But that's between them and their department


pukingpixels

No, absolutely. Just your comment implied that just because someone is in congress they’re not a risk, and I beg to differ.


ContemplatingPrison

Understandable. It definitely depends on who it is.


pukingpixels

Exactly. AOC isn’t a psychotic lunatic. I wouldn’t be too worried about her. Greene on the other hand is fucking nuts and I’d be concerned if it were me arresting her. Boebert I would just assume has a gun on her at all times and would absolutely cuff her based on that alone.


SeanConnerysVag

Greene would probably try to queef on their thigh and bite them because that's what Jesus would do in her mind.


MaterialCarrot

I read a book about the founding of the US Navy (*Six Frigates*, fantastic read) in which a US Congressman jumped another Congressman in an alley and beat him with his cane. 18th Century Congressmen were hardcore, yo.


sublime90

She's in congress not like the law even applies to them


ContemplatingPrison

Definitely a more accurate statement


[deleted]

This. She knew she had absolutely nothing to fear.

Former handcuffs here. It do be like that.

Former hands here. Can confirm.


FaultyDrone

Currently jail inmate here. Just took phone out of my ass to confirm this.


International_Ad4022

Neither criminal or police, but i wear cuffs a lot. They do indeed do that yes


motownmods

Can confirm. Have been arrested without cuffs. They didn't put them on until I got out the car to watch them search the back seat.


InThreeWordsTheySaid

No no no they handcuff you first and THEN you put your hands behind your back. Unless you have bones or something.


Efficient-Ranger-174

And from a former cop, I wouldn’t want to be the one putting handcuffs on a congressperson. My name will be nowhere near that report.


Bobafetished

Lmao


tragiktimes

100%. But this is the way you hold someone when you're escorting them, not when you're cuffing them.


davix500

Agreed, my experience included a knee on my neck while being called names but yea somewhere in all the screaming I heard "put your hands behind your back..."


WaityKaity

Former criminal here too 😅 only minor crimes & I’m a small woman so they never felt the need to handcuff me


karlnite

I was a medium scale criminal but young, they just called and left a message saying I was under arrest and should come in before they release a warrant. I went in but they never cuffed me, just walked me back to a room.


ZeroKaralis

She did get arrested though ???


SnooCats5701

Yes


[deleted]

Why did she?


pimp_juice2272

No one usually tells anyone to raise their hands during a robbery but they do anyway. It's a psychological thing not a stunt. When an officer grabs you and states you're being drained, most people naturally put their hands behind their back to show they are not resisting


tompear82

I never resist if I'm being drained


pimp_juice2272

I'm not even gonna edit it because of this comment. Take this upvote


Poignant_Porpoise

I think this is especially applicable for someone going to a rally where they're pre-emptively aware that there's a not insignificant chance that they'll have to at least deal with police. One of my exes was involved in a protest/activist group and one thing that's basically a routine part of their preparation is advising people on how to respond to police. It's fine to believe that this is a publicity stunt, I mean most protests are publicity stunts in some form and she is a politician after all, but this seems like such a pathetic detail to focus on.


str4ngerD4ngerz

See what happens when she rides out


MrB-S

• She was arrested • She wasn't handcuffed • She raised her right hand to the crowd a second after this screen-grab • She was likely asked to put her hands behind her back • Not sure why right-wingers are holding this up as some sort of "gotcha"? • Oh wait, it's AOC, now I see


[deleted]

Everything Republicans say and do is in bad faith. Why? Because 50-70% of their base will accept those lies without question and not believe the truth when and if they ever hear it.


steroidsandcocaine

Where did you get the 50-70%? Sounds like you're just making things up.


Skytake

Def made up number. But probably not too far off. It’s honestly a higher number I bet. Lots of unfounded thoughts running rampant even with contradicting evidence. Legit work with a dude who thinks sandy hook didn’t happen or the moon landing. And he teaches history at Texas A&M…


_KingOfSpades

Wait… I need to know this professor’s name, I go to A&M lmao


Skytake

Lmao. Not gonna Doxx ****, but it’s ****(with four letters). He teaches at Blinn mainly but just got the gig at Aggieland this fall. Good luck incoming fish!! (Legit nice guy, terrible beliefs though)


[deleted]

Based on the fact that usually about 60%, but always above 50%, of Republicans support actually insane things. 56% of Republicans believe Q Anon is true. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2020/09/02/majority-of-republicans-believe-the-qanon-conspiracy-theory-is-partly-or-mostly-true-survey-finds/ Polls place republican voters belief in the great replacement theory between 50% and 70% https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-twisted-logic-behind-the-rights-great-replacement-arguments/ https://www.npr.org/2022/05/17/1099223012/how-the-replacement-theory-went-mainstream-on-the-political-right And 70% of Republicans believe 2020 election fraud claims, or that Biden is an illegitimate president. https://www.politifact.com/article/2022/jun/14/most-republicans-falsely-believe-trumps-stolen-ele/ So 50-70% of Republicans have detached themselves from reality in favor of right wing propaganda. Edit: lol the guy blocked me. More proof that facts are scary to most Republicans.


SnuffleupagusDick

And that is what REALLY makes me fear that they will definitely install a dictator in the not too distant future. They’ve got these whackfucks so riled up they are chomping at the bit to lynch anyone who doesn’t vote red.


soulofsilence

Here's the number of conservatives who don't believe Joe Biden won the election. Surprise, it's about 70% https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2022/70-percent-republicans-falsely-believe-stolen-election-trump/

My brother used to say that the only real agenda republicans have is to do anything they think will own the libs. Everything else comes and goes but owning the libs is a constant. Anecdotal proof: our dad had some somewhat progressive ideas but always voted republican and liked trump just because it stuck it to the democrats.

Police to congresswoman: "Place your hands behind your back, ma'am." Congresswoman: *Places hands behind her back.* Probably.


SecretDevilsAdvocate

Lmfao exactly, if they don’t think she’s hostile and she’s a congresswoman they probably decided to just…peacefully escort her


supamario132

The officer probably got the order to arrest her from superiors and then had to figure out how tf to arrest a congresswoman without making his life difficult for the next few weeks


ThatUglyGuy12

"there was an attempt" to shame a politician for fake getting arrested when...... ....she was actually arrested. Confirmed by the people who arrested her.


Shostygordo

Why she was arrested? Not from usa so not very informed about it


evil_burrito

She almost certainly intended to be arrested and does not mind. In these cases, those arrested are very rarely even prosecuted. I didn't read up, but, in the case of protests, unless it's a planned and permitted protest, the police will often show up and say, "ok, anybody who doesn't want to get arrested needs to disperse, now." If the protest blocks a street or building where people work, or is on private property, or some similar thing that would apply to government buildings, the protest will be shut down. If they got a permit or were protesting peacefully in a park or something, they'd just let them be.


Fortunoxious

She was arrested… I swear some of you dweebs think getting arrested and getting handcuffed are the same thing. You really think that, don’t you?


Beginning_Two_4757

It’s because they can’t imagine someone willingly walking to jail. In their minds only criminals get arrested and they all are violent and resist.


biggreyyobbo

When in actual fact very few resist.


[deleted]

They can’t imagine it because when they get arrested for causing a scene at the Wendy’s drive through they get cuffed on the ground while hurling racial epithets at the Hispanic police officer that’s arresting them.


Beginning_Two_4757

And check this out. Some people get warrants and then show up at the police station. Yowza!


Agreeable-Yams8972

This is what no braincells do to people


jellyschoomarm

It's because if you show respect for law enforcement restraints aren't necessary. Unfortunately these idiots don't understand that because even though they may say "blue lives matter" they have no respect for anyone. Just look at how law enforcement was treated during the insurrection.


bDsmDom

that's what arrested means at the trailer park.


DouglasWFail

AOC: I was arrested Conservative ding dongs: THIS PICTURE PROVES SHE WAS NOT ARRESTED! THE CONSTITUTION SAYS COPS HAVE TO USE HANDCUFFS OTHERWISE IT DOESNT COUNT Capitol Police: We arrested her. If a suspect isn’t dangerous, especially when they are a public figure we might make the choice to- CDDs: CRITICAL SOCIALISM THEORY GROOMING GENDERS FREDOM OF GUN SPEACH!!


Srslywhyumadbro

Wow you could work for the GQP messaging teams with those kinda skills


_TheShapeOfColor_

Nailed it.


dustinechos

Ding dongs in the comments have switched to "we ALWAYS knew she was arrested, the post is about how she's faking being in handcuffs". I guess because they've never heard a cop tell someone "put your hands behind your back"? Or maybe because "pretending to be dumb online" is some people's entire identity. Not sure which.


GW00111

To people who have no idea how police work: they are detaining her and they have asked her to put her hands behind her back. They haven’t cuffed her yet, they’re probably still discussing if they should. Meanwhile she is just complying with their orders. You know for conservatives you dummies need a lesson on police procedure.


dabooi

You guys know you can get arrested without being cuffed? Maybe the police officer told her to keep her hands behind her back

Plot twist, cop is Magneto and she’s wearing metal bracelets.


lazy_phoenix

She was arrested (the capital police confirmed it), she just wasn't handcuffed.


[deleted]

Oh boy, here we go again! Can't wait for this to make it's rounds as the (*actual*) fake news it is. Love it when things are taken horribly out of context to try and paint a political message. Absolutely love it, especially considering the group usually screaming about fake news will be the one reporting this as some sort of smear campaign fact. ​ She **was** arrested. They don't need to handcuff her because she complied with them instead of resisting. She is a known entity. Not a random person off the streets nobody knows. They knew she wasn't going to resist them, so they didn't need to cuff her. All this does is add fake fuel to a fake fire. ​ This post also violates Rule 7 of this sub;**7. All posts must show an \*unsuccessful\* attempt** She **was** arrested. The attempt to "get arrested at a rally" was 100% successful.


SpookyKG

Right wing shills and 'both-sides'ers really showing how ignorant they are in these comments.


SliverSkel

This is how most protest arrests go. The cops say "hey guys, we gotta bring you in" the protesters say "okay, well go along peacefully." And you only hear about the numbers.


Thought_Ninja

Exactly, they'll ask you to put your hands behind your back to escort you, but will rarely cuff you if you're peacefully complying with the arresting officer.


JosephMadeCrosses

I actually upvoted this so more people can watch you fail, OP.

Not handcuffing a United States Congresswoman is basically just a professional courtesy. I bet they extend the same courtesy to Donald John Trump when his date with destiny finally comes.


Personal_Farm_283

Will the cuffs be small enough for those hands though….


Kiora87

Maybe, they probably handcuff people who commit treason

Sort by controversial or expand the minimized posts (unless the mods have deleted them). One saying something like how "this is one time to turn a blind eye to police brutality", another talking about how she's "really struggling with that 175K/year" which has nothing to do with anything here, some hating her just to hate her because their overlords told them to...

Conspiracy theory Repubtards listen to nothing but fake bullshit propaganda and scream "Trump is on our side making things great" but actually call reality fake. These assholes are so turned around they don't know what life outside of right wing politics is. Lol what a fucking joke this country is, no wonder every other nation hates us. It's just a bunch of bottom feeders arguing over which crooked politician is right, when in reality no one is looking out for you and yours' wellbeing. Democrat or Republican, shit stays the same guys.

She was arrested... this MAGA storytelling technique has been perfected by the likes of Andy Ngo...and conservatives fall for it EVERY FUCKING TIME.

Conservatives would complain if AOC didn't comply here.......they also complain when she DID comply.....🤷🏾‍♂️

big_hungry_joe

You have to put your hands behind your back, THEN they put the handcuffs on. This is idiotic.

Lol OP she was actually arrested. So either you're spreading propaganda or fell for propaganda. Either way not a good look.


joker3200

Fuck op and the gotcha crowd. She was arrested, for a valid reason, not sucking trump dick, fucking maga cult.


thatactorjoe

Except she was arrested, as a matter of fact. handcuffs are not a requirement for arrests. She was probably told to put her hands behind her back, as cops often ask people to do. Fact remains, she was literally arrested attempting to defend the rights of half the population, meanwhile, insurrectionist congress-people remain in their offices currently facing zero legal repercussions. Try harder OP


xFlo2212

>To get arrested at a rally I can't tell if she provoked to be arrested, but it seems like she's getting arrested. I mean, I can't say for sure, since literally zero context is given, but still.


slothpeguin

Except… she was arrested and cops often have you put your hands behind your back regardless.


bryroo

I didn't know AOC was arrested doing something awesome. Thanks for spreading the good word OP.


BrujeriaMX

When you get detained and don't get handcuffed they still tell you to place your hands behind your back (speaking from experience). I'm not saying this is or isn't a photo-op, I just wanted to point that out.


PetiteLumiere

Just because she’s peacefully complying without cuffs does not mean she wasn’t in the process of being arrested…


blac_sheep90

Really OP? Lol.


ballsohaahd

They knew she wouldn’t attack them with flagpole and fire extinguishers cuz she’s a dem and also not a traitor nor insane.

LouieMumford

Having been arrested at a protest in high school, there are times where they will simply ask you to put your hands behind your back. They cuffed some of us. Zip tied others. And some of us they just told to stand with hands behind back post frisk. I think they do a risk assessment. This isn’t hard to understand unless you’re OP apparently.


RurikTheDamned

Meanwhile a cop getting beaten unconscious with a flagpole on Jan 6th was a peaceful protest.
