It still works for me but here is another link if it does not work for you https://twitter.com/QudsNen/status/1785325593615032694
These particular officers are really only making their ranks look bad in the eyes of the people they are claiming to protect. If they are not disciplined in a meaningful way, then there is a big problem here brewing.
My guy Palestine is occupied since 1948 by Israel who, usually, "only" did sporadic bombings here and there. Now there's an active war with some 35k dead and Israeli forces preparing to invade Rafah which has an encampment of unthinkable amounts of refugees. There's a genocide going on right now. This kind of behaviour is encouraged, not ignored. Their ranks look bad enough committing genocide, it isn't a few "bad apples".
They are not "only making their ranks look bad". More important than their fucking looks and reputation is that they are also brutalizing and traumatizing an occupied People.
Agreed. We do not know the whole story here, but it does not look good and I am willing to bet these people being attacked is unjustified.
We do not know the whole story here
Maybe not he whole story for this specific instance, but the whole story generally is something that rhymes with "Israel is a genocidal apartheid state."
I would agree with that by the evidence we are seeing but the comment I made was about this incident specifically in the USA.
Some of these replies seem to think it is okay to hit a random guy, walking passed, in the knee with batons. Escalation of force starts with clear and concise commands. I didn’t see one of those uniformed men command or inform those two that they weren’t allowed to do whatever it is they were doing (appeared to be walking casually on the street) before they busted out the batons.
