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.
I hope they can’t sleep at night. I hope their names are released, everyone they love disown them, and they end up unable to find a job, homeless and miserable. Being deployed by a tyrant into Washington DC to assault and arrest non violent protesters who happen to be real service member veterans is Nazi behavior.
Man I feel you but people like this won’t ever feel like that. They go on to live rich and fulfilling lives and get to retire at 40 because they “served” by harassing civilians and going to weekend warrior training.
No sleep will ever be lost. They will be decorated and given cush jobs and fat bonuses and the whole 9 yards.
I don’t say this to just be bleak and doomer centric or whatever I do it because we need to stop acting like these people have remorse for what they are doing. None of this will ever stop until we treat them ALL (law enforcement of any kind) like the subhuman pieces of garbage that they treat us all like.
I bet, that if as many cops and guardsmen were shot as civilians shot by them shit would start changing. If they feared for their fucking lives just like they make us fear for them every single second of every single day, it would start to change.
But it won’t. Because people keep trying the whole “I hope they lose sleep over this!” Or whatever. They don’t feel things like normal people do, or they would have never taken the job to put their boot on someone’s throat.
Me too. They gave her nightmares and she has them every day, they should too.
they’re from Idaho. nobody they know in Idaho gives a fuck.
