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.
this country is fucked to the core
i served with some STUPID fucking jarheads
just the fucking brain deadest rocks.
not a one of them would have engaged in behaviors like this. they likely would have gone to jail for unaliving bitches making the decisions to remove your constitutional rights
now? generations of poorly educated and economically battered citizens becoming powerful and fighting thier own countrymen
we are absolutely fucked.
Stuff like this has been going on since the 1950’s, though.
National guard killed those college kids at Kent state.
Army raped, tortured and murdered all those kids women and old men in My Lai.
They also gang raped that 6 and 14 year old girl in Iraq (Mahmudiyah rape and murders)
I don’t mean to discredit you and I’m glad you were with good people but man this problem has been pressure cooking for DECADES and it hasn’t gotten any better, at all.
They wanted bloodthirsty animals to be soldiers and police officers and now they act shocked that they are acting like a bunch of bloodthirsty animals. Its like the pikachu shocked face meme.
thats a fair hit.
when i was in oki Marines raped locals. shit.
humans are humans
man… nostalgia is a disease…
I thought the same about the ones I’ve served with. That was before good chunk of them joined the fucking cult.
