How fd up is this?needs to go mainstream
Greatest Nation on Planet Earth? Is this really what America stands for? Maybe so?!
It would probably be very helpful for someone to start collection videos of officers violating people's civil rights during this time. Also, if they could work on identifying the officers in the videos and just keep some sort of list so that they can be properly tried and penalized when this is over
Jfc, if there’s any justice in this world, anyone who zip tied someone to a wheelchair like this will spend the rest of their lives with an unbearable sense of shame.
And a scorching case of herpes.
This is so flipp'n crazy!!!
Make America 👍🏽 great It really shows!!! 2 wars Plus racism Social programs less support ect ect
Jesus Christ. Wtf.
Were any J6 rioters zip tied?
Man, all of us on this thread are horrified. We can only hope that the media picks it up and broadcast the absolute shit out of this. I can't wait to see interviews with some of the seniors. They are usually sassy as hell I'm so sick of this crap. Vote folks, vote. ❤️🌻
I didn't think it could get any worse than an 81-year-old veteran in a walker getting arrested and zip tied. Capitol Police, what is wrong with you??
🤬🤬🤬
Seriously demented
My belief is that, do not pay attention to the American administration's constant talk of democracy, when the conditions are right you can see that they turn into the most anti-democratic administration in the world.
How outrageous, truly. Using zip ties on the elderly in wheelchairs should be against the law! What kind of animal does this?
how do people see this and think "these are the good guys"? imagine zip tying people in wheelchairs for peacefully protesting (or for any reason really) and being able to sleep at night.
Nothing short of disgusting. Let’s Grease the steps of The Nursing Home vibes
America you truly are a fucked up cruel country.
Protecting us from the enemy! /s
Miller is probably looking into euthanasia centers
I hope this gets spread across all media outlets on tv and online
Sounds like the J6 stains didn't take out the right piggies.....bummer.
Wow. Just fucking wow. Zip tying the hands of people in wheel chairs. Tiny Mike Johnson has his hands all over this.
My phone call script: How pathetic! of Rick Scott and whatever her first name is Moody, my FL senators, for supporting the Big Billionaire Bill that cuts funds for seniors...causing scooter-bound seniors to revolt against your bill and get arrested. #Florida Time to get angry and name names.
This is absolutely a disgrace!
Did they zip-tie their wheelchairs together!? This is ridiculous, below us, and has to stop!
We have turned into a vile disgusting country, and I am so ashamed!
Take them straight to CECOT's ICU!!
This is one of the most disgusting things.
🤮
Is zip tying people in wheelchairs who want healthcare making us great again? Is that what makes us Iran's moral superior & authority & why they need us to bomb them to free them?
Trump is destroying America. He's turning it into a FACIST DICTATORSHIP HOLY F@CK PEOPLE WAKE THE F@CK UP. freedom of assembly and freedom of speech is going down the shitter
Zip-ties for seniors in wheelchairs? Do cops just not have good sense anymore?
They never did.
Zip ties.... really?? Pathetic!!
They want us to be afraid bcuz it sure scares the sh*t out of me. The anxiety that is beating in my chest & banging in my head is on 1000 X 1000. If they’ll do this to old, wheelchair bound seniors, as a POC, I literally fear 4 every family member I have. I know they look at us different. JESUS!
What a sad and sickening commentary on this regime and its minions! SMFH We have devolved into parasites...
Were they peacefully protesting? This is illegal!
This is a failed government.
Sure is
Disgraceful Trumplikins!
Just despicable Congress, done in your name. Anybody going to respond? Where TF is Senator Schumer?
They are a major threat, they can speak very loud!!! And someone could hear them!!!
These officers should be ashamed of themselves. They SHOULD have refused to arrest them on the grounds that it is simply immoral. But when you have no morals, and you're full of HATE, cruelty becomes a pleasure.
And unconstitutional
There’s apparently no such thing as good policing in America anymore.
This just guts me. I know if my dad were still alive, he'd say, "they just want us to die," and I can hear his voice echo in my brain.
Boy, those activist in wheelchairs must have really been a threat judging by the number of law enforcement I see in the video👨🦽
Zip-tying people in wheelchairs is the perfect metaphor for this beyond cruel administration
If just 17 Republican senators just did their f**king job, this would all be over.
If there are any responsible journalists left, they need to ask every single congressman/senator if they support the capital police zip-tying people in a wheel chair!!! Get their responses on record!!
WHAT EVIL FUCKING PRICKS!!!!!🤯🤢🤮😡🤬🖕🖕
Vile and dehumanizing in every way. These elderly disabled folks are trying to preserve their access to lifesaving medical care that the GOO is slashing with no thought & no compassion whatsoever. They are fighting for their lives by peacefully protesting at our congress. Outrageous.
Acan: all cops are nazis.
How can they arrest them for a sit in? Couldn't they just claim they're tourists?
this is tRUMPISM at its best.
MY FUCKING BLOOD IS BOILING… WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK??
#MakeAmericansLast
What a sick country we have become. Shame on them. Zip ties?
But good for them to be out there! 💪
Do they realize that they have now completely immobilized these people? They need their hands to operate their chairs.
Seriously? What cowards with zip ties. No words.
When maga says they didn't vote for this, yeah, they did.
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
We refuse to live in a police run country, da**it!!
Do prisoners get health care coverage? Asking for a friend!
Shameful
So, the Capital police are MAGAts now?????
I was thinking the same thing.
They were on Jan 6 also. Trump's mercenaries were just intent on stopping the Count and didn't care who they hurt to do it.
They always have been.
Seriously unAmerican. Where'd we get all these traitors from?
Disgusting!!
Guess they would do this to their family also. Big bad cops
🤬
This should not come as a shock to anyone. The Republican Party has been a death cult for decades. The only people they care about are their rich donors. If you're too old or sick to work, you're of no use to them. And they dare call themselves Christians.
Don't you mean dangerous drive-by protestors? Surely they're heavily armed with speech. Maybe they have tattoos...
Welcome to America where billionaires keep getting richer and the rest of you can just get over it! 😡
That's a great look - not. But hey, they'll get over it
Zip tied their wrists?? 🤬🤬They are in wheelchairs !! They aren’t going to trash the place or hurt people like the Jan 6 rioters who got pardoned! This beyond wrong!!
As disgusting as it is, every time optics like this happen, it’s a win. For someone, somewhere, seeing this is the final straw. Every small win makes a difference.
We live in the dumbest fucking time!
I hate what my government is doing to American citizens, the freedom to protest peacefully, to demand redress from elected official. May these protesters stay strong, fierce, focused. They are on the right side of history.
Powerful images!
Disgusting administration.
First- zip ties, really? Was that absolutely necessary? Second- good on the group for staging a peaceful sit in!
WTAF with these hateful police! They posed no threat!!
This is where we are now. This is how our government works.
Wow Nothing says freedom like zip tying disabled people FFS what will these asshats do next?
It gets worse everyday and looks like no end in sight.🤬😢💔
Find out who ordered the arrest. I’m guessing it’s some ReTrumplican 😡🤬😡
Where in the fuck are the den senators... Why aren't they protecting these people.
I see Christianity oozing out of Washington
Evil and cruel
That's one of the worst things I've seen.
Make that a punk album cover. But also, WTF.
Make an ad, DNC.
Do Capitol police not have eyes? Why use zip ties on these protesters? It’s not like they’re going to suddenly get out of their wheelchairs and attack those officers. 🤦🏻♀️
Good lord!
The brave, Constitutionally correct, Capitol police who warded off Jan 6 insurrectionists have been turned into a force that zip-ties people in wheel chairs.
Surprised they weren’t wearing masks.
Bunch of fragile snowflakes in Congress.
Because they’re violent criminals…maybe someone needs to remind them of this ⬇️
U.S. Capitol Police arrest protesting members of American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today in the atrium of the Hart Senate Office Building on Tuesday. The protesters chanted “no cuts to Medicaid” while being arrested. So we are going to zip-tie disabled Americans in Wheelchairs now? WTF!
🤮
I guess the CO decided to join the magats?
Disgraceful!
Disgusting simply disgusting.
America under Trump and his evil cult.
WTF… do these fuckers have no decency!!!! My God wtf 😳 How fucking inhumane does it have to get?
Illegal as hell!
I am beyond speechless! Medicaid will be cut because neither party actually gives a darn about the sick, elderly or disabled. Anyone who thinks IDEA or the Rehabilitation Act won’t be repealed is in for a rude awakening.
How can we help?
This should be broadcast as far and wide as possible if people want to educate on the horrors of the 🩸GOP Murder & Robbery Bill
The zip ties are giving this vibe
The sad thing to me is that no matter the situation, law enforcement is ALWAYS on the Dark Side.
Bell, California city police and firemen helped run ICE out of town. Occasionally they are on the right side. Some of them.
That is nice to hear. I would love to see this happen on some occasion!
Zip-ties?? MAGA-GOP are too pathetic! Can they go any lower? Reminds me of the 1988, Gallaudet University student-led protests that today is called Deaf President Now, or simply DPN. They cut their mics so the students used sign language to get the message out!! gallaudet.edu/museum/histo...
How the fuck do these guys sleep at night?
I hope there are some good lawyers who'll sue those assholes! Americans have the right to be in government buildings!
I fear that the current crop of the Capitol Police officers are squandering the good will that those who defended the Capitol on Jan 6th had earned for themselves! By acting as bullies in support of the Far-Right ideals of voter/protestor suppression, they are throwing it away!
Republican Mitch McConnell is an utter disgrace! He is a piece of shit! Mitch McConnell is a multi-millionaire who wants to destroy Medicaid and SNAP for poor and working class people. Detestable and vile! He should go straight to hell and rot and burn for eternity! Fuck you Mitch McConnell! 🖕
Beware! The cruel, vile and corrupt Republicans in Congress voted to decimate and destroy Medicaid, the ACA, social programs and the economic safety net in order to give massive tax cuts to the selfish wealthy and greedy corporations. Shameful and heinous! They must be stopped! Vote them all out!
Can someone ask Thune if he is okay with this treatment? He is in charge.
So we are a country that zip ties elderly Americans in wheel chairs. I feel like the USA is the Twilight Zone. Why is our government so cruel?
This is not how the United States of America does things. This is dictator bullshit, and it is Trump's fault completely.
Based on history, this is how the US does things and it’s utterly abhorrent. The US was never the greatest country and never will be unless shit like this is stopped.
That is true, but most presidents did not endorse this type of behavior. Until Trump.
Unbelievably pathetic. Can’t get much lower than this.
Vote in the mid-term election ... hopefully, it will help get rid of some of the MAGAts or limit the shit they are pulling!
Hopefully this will inspire them to vote them out next election.
Restraining elderly citizens in wheelchairs with zip ties. They must present such a threat. Cruelty has become the norm.
WHAT MESSAGE IS LAW ENFORCEMENT SENDING! It is sad & maddening that the disabled have to be ziptied by law enforcement.
The Capitol Police are looking like tools for a bad government. Why are they zip tying people in WHEELCHAIRS!! Do any of them see this picture compared to J6. The repuklikkkans are using law enforcement as tools for their lawlessness.
They look so dangerous....not. disgusting
Republicans Great look Very compassionate America is sick to bone of your cruelty and protection of the rich
This is embarrassing to see in our country that's already a complete embarrassment. They all should have turned off their wheelchairs and refused to move. Have all the officers manually push all of those folks.
Sick, sick, SICK.
They zip tied old folks sitting in wheelchairs? WTF?
I'm sure they'll get over it, right Mitch?
They certainly look like a dangerous group. 🙄
Is this a different Capitol Police than the one that fought off the J6? Has this organization been corrupted too?
Oink oink.
The United States is a shithole thanks to Trumpism.
Totally ridiculous!
Unfucking believable!
Horrific
This is disgraceful
Yeah, because they were real flight risks, I guess. Repeat after me: The cruelty is the point.
JFC, that Senate Office building was built by us and belongs to us.
Fuck the gop Fuck rump How has he not od’d on ritalin or had a catastrophic diabetic seizure yet? It’s coming Can’t wait to see him zipped tied in a wheel chair on his way to prison
😆I don't mean to laugh ... but come on ....this administration is a clown show ... with a cherry on top!😆
Hey MAGA, see what you are?
I also feel the need to add that using zip ties instead of handcuffs feels extra sickening for a reason I can’t quite put my finger on. It makes it feel even more like a kidnapping, more violating, more dehumanizing. Someone look at the faces of those cops and identify them for the world.
That’s disgusting. Cops zip tying the wrists of elderly wheelchair users for staging a peaceful protest is abhorrent, appalling, repugnant, and all the other words that mean disgusting and disgraceful. Remember, cops are not there to help us. Fuck them.
