I shouldn't be surprised but... trigger warning....... these people are savagely beaten.
Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border.

This is how the police dealt with them.
Literally beat the hell out of them.
This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

(26,828 posts)The cop doing the head punching is from Covington (KY.) Since the bridge connects KY and OH, I'm wondering why Cincy cops aren't there.
I used to live in Cincy when police brutality was the norm, mostly on black people. Very red city more than 20 years ago. I was quite surprised to see them elect a Dem mayor in the past few years. I thought things had really changed. Looks like not so much.
But, Covington is wacky. Pretty redneck, at least back then. Doesn't look like its changed much at all. The only thing it has going for it is that's the location of the Cincy airport.
This is WAY out of hand:
"An officer points his gun during the protest."
Looks like this actually happened in July?

(28,413 posts)It was really quite rough back then (early '70's). First time I ever flew commercial was from Knoxville to Cincinnati.
(Had previously flown numerous times in my dad's friend's puddle-jumper.)

(11,768 posts)There is something really, really wrong with them. That city must have been scraping the bottom of the barrel to come up with those goons.

I never saw this video before.... this is going on all over the country and we're only seeing/hearing a fraction.
If another Kent State happens trump will give them an award.
