This is a screenshot of a bluesky post from “The Tennessee Holler” posted 12 hours ago. The post reads: “If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?” The post includes a repost from Joe G posted 2 hours ago that says “Arresting people in wheelchairs protesting Medicaid cuts.” Below the text is a video thumbnail showing what appears to be law enforcement officers restraining an elderly person in a wheelchair in what looks like a government building or office setting.
Why are they even ziptied? Are the cops afraid of being beat up by grandmas ?
The answer is Yes. ALL cops are cowards to begin with, and are trained to embrace their cowardice by responding with extreme force to the slightest inconvenience.
The cruelty is the point.
Republicans see these people as undesirable leeches on society.
I pay my fucking taxes and social security so Grandma there can have housing, healthcare, so give her the fucking money.
Why didn't they just zip tie the wheel on the rascal
Or just take the key. Unplug the batteries?
Or just grow a pair and not be the boot for the oligarchy
There ya go.
Because the cruelty is the point
