National Guard troops seized Anna King, slamming her to the ground and leaving her with injuries that required surgery, according to a federal tort claim
A retired U.S. Army captain and Iraq War veteran is taking legal action after National Guard troops approached her outside her Washington, D.C. home, pushed her to the ground and detained her in an aggressive, caught-on-camera confrontation.
Anna King, who received a Purple Heart and Bronze Star for her service, was cornered on her front porch by three National Guard troops on the evening of May 8.
“Get away from me right now,” King can be heard telling the guards in footage taken on a Ring security camera. “You have absolutely no authority to detain me.”
Footage shared by the ACLU of the District of Columbia shows King trying to go inside her home as the men, three Idaho National Guard members, grab King and force her to the ground as she screams for them to get off her.
Why the fuck are the Idaho national guard in DC in the first place?
Why the fuck she was in Iraq in the first place?
Because the psycho red states offered to put them there. They salivate at the chance to get violent with other Americans. And they’ll keep doing it until we all wake up and realize that we have to punch back when we’re in power.
Because when you’re a dictator and you want to oppress or attack a population, you get troops from nowhere near that location so that they will not be attacking their local community. Ideally you want hillbilly idiots from the arse end of nowhere so you can tell them anything you like about who they are supposed to beat the shit out of.
Idaho, eh? Yep, that’s about right.
That’s how Tiananmen Square happened.
It’s also how most countries orchestrate large cadres of “internal security” troops, including (but very much not limited to) Russia (MVD and OMON), France (Gendarmerie riot units), China (PAP), Germany (Bereitschaftspolizei), and so on.
TL;DR: suppression forces tend to be more effective if nobody in the suppression force knows or has any connection to the citizens being suppressed.
Thats not an endorsement or expression of support for suppression forces, to be clear.
dint they started said thier nat guard from other states, to "patrol, control " any anti-trump protesting last year.
