Related: About this forumWoman arrested in bathrobe held in jail without bail on probable cause for rioting
A 20-year-old Brooklyn Center woman is still in jail after being tackled and arrested by police outside her apartment near the police station where demonstrators protested the police killing of Daunte Wright for a fourth night.
Samira Hassan was standing outside in her bathrobe as some 600 state troopers, sheriffs deputies and National Guard soldiers pushed demonstrators away from the Brooklyn Center police station and the surrounding residential neighborhood after the protest was declared an unlawful assembly.
As law enforcement stood shoulder-to-shoulder in riot gear around her apartment building, she expressed bafflement. I dont see why all these cops are necessary. It doesnt make sense to me, Hassan told the Reformer just moments before she was forcibly brought to the ground and handcuffed.
For the third night in a row, Brooklyn Center residents were under a curfew and ordered to stay in their homes except for essential travel. Hassan had been protesting earlier that night just blocks away from her home, but returned home before curfew.

They don't care, because people keep saying they need more training and then throw more money at

Really? Do they not learn...ever? What the F is wrong with them? Don't they know the more people they kill and brutalize the worse things are going to get for them?
