Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Did anyone else watch Kat's video of being "thrown" to the ground and think it was more like a push followed by loss of balance? To me, "thrown to the ground" means you give them more downward force than just gravity.
e; so it turns out there have been multiple times Kat's been put on the ground by ICE agents at this facility and I'm not 100% sure this video is documenting the same specific occasion that Ingraham was talking about, but still - (end of edit)

no.
The clip you showed there was what I was thinking of. I saw it as part of a much larger video posted by Kat, and I wasn't sure that was the "throw" everyone else was referencing. It's definitely that officer's fault she went to the ground. He threw her laterally, causing her to fall backwards.
So she wasn't "thrown" just thrown laterally? Wut?
"thrown to the ground" vs. thrown (really, pushed) laterally. Yep.
It may seem minor. If someone said they were punched, and you watched their video and they were slapped hard, you'd wonder why they were sloppy in the characterization. It doesn't make slapping good.
We know what you're doing. Just putting that out there
