#12  Antifa medics - horribly fat chicks dressed in pink sweats that were several sizes too small.

The Clotettes.

#8  ^ They seem mostly to argue will people as they claim medical authority on no apparent grounds or credentials. Probably too out of shape to participate in any physical training. What they lack in physical fitness, they seem to make up for with belligerence. I don’t get a “care-giver” vibe from them.

#7  I recall the 1st time I saw Antifa medics - horribly fat chicks dressed in pink sweats that were several sizes too small. I've still no idea what they thought they were going to accomplish.

#6  Context might matter.

Indeed. While the right to record is established, permit me to venture out onto a stout oak limb and suggest that, based on historical incidents, this beating didn't just fall out of the sky but was the result of previous, off-camera "interactions".

#5  ANTIFA medics are always part of the operation. I am surprised to see a shop lifting arrest in California at all.

#4  Context might matter. In careful reading of the entire article it seems possible that the woman doing the filming of the couple being arrested was a part of the criminal act, or an accessory after the fact. If that is so, it is reasonable for the LASD Deputy telling her she is being detained for questioning, and her resisting and keeping the phone in his face, is the escalation that prompted use of force. 48 hr rule here might be warranted, everybody wants another George Floyd moment in the news and payout, so motives for provocation are much more sinister and racial these days. Just sayin' not a rush to judgement moment.

#3  This has become standard procedure by the BLM types during arrest. They have to the they were 'oppressed'.

#2  Yes, I'm afraid the answer is Biblical. Any officer who interferes with an individual's right to record in public needs their eyes gouged out.

Word will get around really quick.

#1  The courts have already ratified that a citizen has a right to record. If we actually had a DoJ, means exist to address this.
