@heidilifeldman Time to start carrying commonly available spray products as defensive weapons. Let 'em taste some Raid. #USPol

@heidilifeldman Intentional misuse like this of *any* "less-lethal" weapon just vastly increases the likelihood of "less" not being enough and "lethal" being the end point. The person holding this can needs to be in front of a judge *tomorrow* on charges of reckless endangerment, abuse of authority, aggravated assault and attempted murder.

Two of Trump's four appointees to the hard right 8th Circuit federal court of appeals received a "not qualified" from the ABA?

Lawyers, like investment advisers, hate to say anything bad about a prospective federal judge. You have to be really bad to earn the ABA's "not qualified" rating.

@heidilifeldman These thugs need some serious karma and quickly.

@heidilifeldman I’d be surprised if this individual doesn’t go blind as a result if this. Disgusting. That can specifically is designed to disperse a large crowd. What the fuuuuuck

@heidilifeldman WTAF? This is WRONG to the point of obscenity.

Appeared to?
That's what they did. They did it after they were commanded not to. They did it even though it's an international war crime to do it. ACLU is fighting back. This is the ACLU form to document ice crimes in Minnesota:

That is much worse than pepper spraying as normally thought of. That is torturing someone to near death.

@meganL @heidilifeldman In the trials of Japanese torturer war criminals from WW2, we EXECUTED people for less than this. (E.g. for waterboarding.)

@mossyfoot @heidilifeldman I remember that too. They also used cotton swabs to apply it directly to the protesters eyes if I recall.

@heidilifeldman This is extremely dangerous to do to anyone who may have a heart condition or respiratory problem.

@heidilifeldman

A prolonged full stream of pepper spray in the eyes, nose, and mouth can easily lead to permanent blindness and possible kill. Imagine the lung damage that inhaling a prolonged, full stream of pepper spray would cause.

@heidilifeldman
What is the logic in that?

@heidilifeldman
This person is already having trouble breathing as they press his back. Now they’re inflicting a giant dose of pepper spray on the helpless victim from inches away.
What is supporting the weight of the torturer in grey’s upper body?
Life threatening sadistic abuse.

deborahh@cosocial.ca

@czarbucks @heidilifeldman that's *torture*.

@heidilifeldman

This is torture, plain and simple. The perpetrators should be held to account by any country in the world, should they come in their jurisdiction.
