Because "Innocent until proven guilty" is supposed to be a ideal in the USA.
Also, the people being kidnapped are often being released with no charges. Source: https://www.opb.org/news/article/federal-law-enforcement-unmarked-vehicles-portland-protesters/ https://www.opb.org/news/article/federal-law-enforcement-unm...
> I don't presume guilt (this is America, after all), but I rather suspect the Federales have some reason to arrest some but not others, and that reason might be things like arson, assault, or other serious crimes.
The first 4 words of this statement don't work with the rest of the sentence. You claim to not presume guilt, then essentially claim that they must be guilty or else why would they be arrested?
Despite how much unwarranted police brutality is going on, you're continuing to defend the authorities.
You are part of the problem.
- yeetawayhn 6y ago"Innocent until proven guilty" does not prevent a suspect from being arrested. Being released with no charges is not a statement of innocence or guilt, but of whether the prosecutor believes there is enough evidence to go through with prosecution.
- Sohcahtoa82 6y agoAll true, but considering the extreme abuse of authority that's been happening at the protests, I'm far more inclined to believe arrests have been unlawful.
