The only jury I've ever been on faced a question about resisting arrest. The defendant was tackled by an officer and initially fought back (or so the officer claimed). The officer was wearing a police uniform, but we acquitted on the charge, because the defendant was tackled from behind and there was reasonable doubt as to whether the officer actually identified themselves verbally in a way that made it clear to the defendant they weren't being tackled by some random dude.
This ain't legal advice, but in situations where a kidnapper refuses to identify themselves, show a warrant, or even a badge number, I suspect a sufficiently white bystander might not be convicted on interference charges if they did something like a citizen's arrest of a suspicious out-of-town paramilitary type who was in the process of an extrajudicial kidnapping. If there are multiple kidnappers, to be effective you might need multiple people willing to face jail time for such interventions to be successful...
#resist #ICE #kidnapping
Just thinking about this in light of the recent kidnapping in the next town over where some fools called the city police thinking they might actually protect the community from an unlawful assault. Can't blame the fools too much because of how deep positive portrayals of cops are embedded in our media diet though...

What’s really fascinating about this graph is that used Tesla prices started plummeting circa fall 2022, about the time Musk wrecked Twitter, 2.5 years •before• the #TeslaTakedown movement started.
What’s killing Tesla? It’s not just the protests. The brand was already fundamental damaged. Protests simply gave coherence to a disgust that was •already• powerful and widespread.
Musk is permanently radioactive. Institutional investors take note — and get out while you can.

It's also frustrating that thousands of people are protesting and organizing #TeslaDown and Musk does it himself with a few posts.

Onhan tämä Kaarlensilta kauhea turistirysä, mutta toisaalta onhan näkymä tältä aivan uskomaton näin illalla.
