This picture haunts me.

1. Motherfuckers!

I didn't take all of that.

[tblue37]

2. That hand around her neck! nt

[homegirl]

21. Not much has changed in almost 100 years!

Last night I saw the film "Iron Jawed Angels." A very accurate portrayal of the fight to bring about the passage of the 19th Amendment. Those women were publicly brutalized.

Find it on Netflix, Roku, HBO or at you local video rental store.

The hand on her throat was mild compared to what the suffragist women endured.

[jtuck004]

3. It's how we trained them to treat the enemy in war. Now we are the enemy. n/t

[RKP5637]

5. Exactly, it's become us vs. them. It's horrible. I really wonder about the future of the US. n/t

[Crash2Parties]

54. That's why we are now "civilians" and no longer "citizens" in the lingo.

[RKP5637]

4. As a little kid I wondered how anyone could be in Hitler's Gestapo. We have the same in the

US, just different times, different names and not completely empowered, yet. Give Trump the presidency and horrific times will likely descend on the US.

[dembotoz]

15. same thing here....wonder if we will stand up and be counted or just roll over

i hope i stand up

[G_j]

6. do you know where this is from? nt

[obnoxiousdrunk]

8. Baton Rouge protests ...

[PJMcK]

7. Please provide the context and the source

Thanks.

[In_The_Wind]

12. The photo was from a protest in Baton Rouge.

News about #altonsterling on Twitter

https://twitter.com/hashtag/altonsterling

[PJMcK]

26. Thanks. Powerful picture! (n/t)

[Ellipsis]

62. This Twitter feed just said cops killed in Baton Rouge 7:03

Is this true?

[IronLionZion]

9. Is she a dangerous threat?

What justifies three officers to use force like that?

Must be the word love on her sign. It looks like a weapon.

[Exilednight]

10. if she had a gun she could claim she was exercising her 2nd

Amendment rights, and probably wouldn't have been bothered. Apparent they found the pen more threatening than the sword.

[demmiblue]

11. I have several that haunt me:

Anti-war protest in Oakland 2003- rubber bullet damage

Occupy Oakland 2011

Occupy Seattle 2011- teargassing of an 84 year old woman

Ferguson 2014

That is just a few (and limited to the US).

[RKP5637]

16. The US is clearly in a downward spiral. It's not looking good for the future of the US! There

is way too much hatred in today's US and far too many conflicts over just about anything.

[progressoid]

13. Gee, it only too three men to subdue such a vicious person?

[xocet]

14. Here are the two photos that comprise that composite....

I mistakenly identified this as a photo from PBS - the link is through tineye:

From The Times-Picayune:

[hamsterjill]

17. Good heavens!

n/t

Anyone know the woman's name? Has she spoken to the media?

[xocet]

19. A quick note...

I just wanted to clarify that my initial id of the first photo as one from PBS seems to be wrong....

So far, I have a link to it through tineye, but no source.

Also, I have no idea what her name is and whether she has spoken to the media.

[hamsterjill]

22. Thank you.

I hope she does eventually come forward.

[demmiblue]

18. Holy shite!

[xocet]

20. A quick note....

I just wanted to clarify that my initial id of the first photo as one from PBS seems to be wrong....

[dynamo99]

28. NOLA.com

(the Times-Picayune, the NO newspaper) is the copyright slug on the second picture.

[pinboy3niner]

36. Yes, xocet provided the credit on that one

I did a quick search on the first photo (using a text search) and didn't find it. Maybe someone can find it doing an image recognition search.

The full caption and photo credit on the second photo is:

Police arrest a protestor, center, during a face off in Baton Rouge on Sunday, July 10, 2016, days following the Alton Sterling shooting (Photo by Chris Granger, Nola.com | The Times-Picayune)

[bluesbassman]

23. Wow. At least 21 cops around her, held in a double chicken wing...

And that poor officer felt his life was so threatened that he needed to apply a choke hold to her.

[auntpurl]

25. Seriously, what the fuck.

[adigal]

27. All those other guys are leaning forward, looking to get in on the fun!!

I try to defend police, but when I see sick stuff like this, I want to puke. What is wrong with out police that they think this is a proportionate response???? What did she do to deserve that?

[bullsnarfle]

24. The PTB finally found a way

around posse comitatus. So, U.S. law says you can't use military jack-booted thugs to crush the civilian population? Heck, let's just turn all the police forces into de facto military units.

Problem solved.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

30. ^

I don't know what to say. Feel too sick.

[Angry Dragon]

33. So right

[jmg257]

39. US law does NOT say that - so that is just a matter of time...or events...US Code 332

Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion."

Thank GWB for this...2006

[raven mad]

29. They claim to wear their armored gloves for "protection".

Actually, its to prevent fingerprints, which CAN be taken from a human body.

[bvar22]

32. SWAT units and Riot control are also covering their nametags and badge numbers to avoid ID.

I believe this is illegal, but am no lawyer, and who is going to complain to an up-armored lunatic in full battle dress.
Thank gawd everyone has a camera today, or we wouldn't see what is happening.

[raven mad]

57. Cell phone videos and face recognition programs.

If you can't hide, you can't run.

[Angry Dragon]

31. Afraid for their lives

[RandiFan1290]

34. Miami Police Shot Protester, then laugh about it. 2003

Bean bags and rubber bullets

[MirrorAshes]

35. Do you have a direct link?

I'm trying to spread this on my social media but can't find it at the times-picayune

[pinboy3niner]

38. Second pic is from Times-Picayune; first ('Love' sign) is unknown, so far

I don't know where the composite came from.

[Matrosov]

37. Funny

The left side of the picture says 'Love.' The right side of the picture made me feel incredible hate.

What kind of chickenshit needs to put his hands on the throat of a women who is protesting peacefully and already has to other guys manhandling her?

[MirrorAshes]

45. I captioned it Love and War on instagram

This is a truly profound image

[jmg257]

40. This appears to be just as the Police stormed the lady's house allowing the protestors to

be there.

This girl was right in front and the to left of the path they took.

[Dustlawyer]

41. No more right to peaceably assemble.

[ThoughtCriminal]

42. This needs 900+ more recs

Here's mine.

[ZombieHorde]

43. Seems like the US has declared war on peace and love.

Go to work, go shopping, go home, or they'll kick the shit out of you. Unless of course you're black, then they'll kick the shit out of you anyway.

[IcyPeas]

44. 4 videos of this here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bad_Cop_No_Donut/comments/4snxq3/stop_resisting/

she appears a few times in the crowd.

[jmg257]

46. Thanks - you can see her (and her sign) get pounced in the 1st one. nt

[retread]

47. one of many

?w=700&h=535

[ReRe]

48. I would sue the city AND the county

pronto! Are those girls twins? Look at that red hair!

What the eff are they doing to her? Looks to me like they have her dress hiked up. Are they frisking her??? GD. This picture makes me MAD.

[trumad]

49. Twins?

Its the same girl.

[ReRe]

56. Ah...

... I thought it was one photo. But it's two superimposed?

The pic makes me twice as mad now.

[HipChick]

50. Daily treatment for black males

[puffy socks]

53. She's literally standing up

with BLM and thats all you have to say?
Does it not matter because its happened to black males?

[Squinch]

51. She could be my sister, appearance-wise. That's jarring.

[Dawson Leery]

52. Filthy Pigs.

The Baton Rouge PD has problems. The Justice Department/FBI is monitoring these scummy thugs.

[mwrguy]

55. They hate us for our freedom

[struggle4progress]

58. Pictures without context have limited value

[trumad]

59. Well so do people who post without reading through the thread.

[pintobean]

60. The OP has no context.

You posted it that way.
I really haven't learned a whole lot from the rest of the thread.

[jmg257]

61. HTH - Girl protesting police violence with LOVE sign gets man-handled when arrested

by police as they storm the property of a private citizen at East & France St on July 10 in Baton Rouge. Protestors were staging there with the owner's permission.

https://twitter.com/DavidBegnaud/status/752319658020073472

In this video, around the 4:00 mark, you can see her and her friend get physically accosted.

[struggle4progress]

63. Could be. But I spent some time trying to learn anything about that pair of photos

and frankly I didn't learn very much at all
