AOC, Squad Members, other Top Dems Arrested

Dude, they just held their hands behind their backs so there's no excuse to escalate to "resisting arrest" or some other BS police tactic.

You're pathetic.

I know you admire his Fascism, but you're pathetic.

PolitiFact's Gabrielle Settles announced the Capitol Police “told us none of the protesters at the rally were put in handcuffs because the arrests were non-custodial. That means the defendant can walk away from the scene, but that they’re given a ticket for their infraction, which is what happened to AOC. She later posted a video to her Instagram Story showing her ticket, which had a fine of 50 dollars.”

Thus, you should be able to say it's a "basically fake arrest" designed for self-promotion. A routine traffic stop for a speeding ticket is not an "arrest." This is on the same level as saying Settles shouldn’t make a “Truth-O-Meter Minute” video that lasts 2 minutes and 22 seconds.
