Uncalled for by the cop.
Can't tell from the video why the woman was there, or what she was saying to the police.
Might have been a pepper ball? They were washing her with water, which is usually pepper spray or tear gas. I've heard pepper balls can hurt more than rubber bullets.
The longest US war wasn't Afghanistan, it's the continuing unwinnable war on poverty. These are all wars of attrition that the US government is losing on all fronts, just as they will lose this war on illegal immigration (because there's a HUGE DEMAND for affordable low-skilled labor here). But it does provide the authoritarians with the excuses they need to instill fear in the populace, expand their powers, and use those powers to strip our individual liberties. You remember authoritarians, right? They're on the opposite vertex of the Nolan chart from where libertarians areThe more we've fought illegal immigration, the more immigration we've ultimately gotten. Sounds a lot like the war on drugs, war on poverty, etc.

It was up until 1965.The longest US war wasn't Afghanistan, it's the continuing unwinnable war on poverty.

Does anyone here really believe the 12,383 miles of continental US border (including coastlines) could be impenetrably secured? Shit, they can't even keep contraband out of prisons, and those have solid walls completely enclosing them. Make sure you have your Real-ID handy when you leave the cell of your home. And make sure you have your traveling papers on you when you go to work or the store (remember permission slips that were needed in public schools). And certainly don't complain when you get pulled over for looking "suspicious", or when you get held up at a "routine checkpoint" stop. Say it, embrace it ... "here are my papers, officer".

I think ending birthright citizenship is the simplest, most permanent solution I've seen so far. And Ron Paul supports it.It was up until 1965.
Did we expand our territory in 1966?
And it did not require a heavy handed police state to do it.
We were much more free then, than we are now.
I'm not sure which thing you're referring to by "It"; but I'm assuming that it's a secure border. And if that's the case, then no, it wasn't any more secure back then than it is now. What's different is the demand for affordable low-skilled labor. Just one example: people in the sixties didn't hire landscaping/gardening services to mow their lawns (at least in anywhere near the numbers they do today). If they didn't mow their own lawns, they paid a "neighborhood kid" a couple of bucks to do it (with push mowers nonetheless). Fast forward to today; you've got grown men running lawn-mowing services - and they're hiring undocumented workers to do the actual work. I'm in a blue collar neighborhood, and hardly anyone mows their own lawn. I can remember during Trump's first term, there was an owner of a lawn mowing company that was interviewed on the radio saying he had plenty of openings for people to do the work but that nobody was applying.It was up until 1965.
